Severity School

‘Severity School’ is a 53-minute long movie made by Cavern Spanking.  None of my usual sources for dates give any information about this movie but, based on its position in the Cavern catalogue, I believe that it was probably made about 1994.  I don’t know how it was originally released in the UK but it was eventually available through the Cavern Spanking website that operated from 2004 to 2016.  To the best of my knowledge, ‘Severity School’ never appeared on any of the Moonglow North compilation tapes that were released in the late 1990’s.  There was a Moonglow West movie of the same name (Moonglow catalogue number W25) but it is a completely different movie made by John Kirwood just weeks before his death.  Also, I can’t find any evidence that this movie was ever released in the US although it is certainly possible that it was released under a different name.  My copy of the movie came from the Cavern Spanking website many years ago and, to the best of my knowledge, it is no longer available.

‘Severity School’ features Alison Payne and Ivor Gold, who appeared together in ‘Class of ‘94’ which was made at about the same time, together with Gillian Taylor, Dominque Wright and a number of men who form the audience.  Based on the lack of cuts (several segments of the movie are filmed in one long take), the ad libbed dialogue, the lack of nudity and the banter between actors and spectators, this movie seems like a filmed spanking party.  However, there may simply have been an in-studio audience who paid to watch, and in some cases participate in the filming which was a common practice among spanking film makers at one time (and I occasionally still hear of it happening).

The girls are in front of the Headmaster for a variety of offenses.  He starts with the dark-haired girl, Gillian, who has been selling erotic photos of herself to make some extra money.  He orders Amanda (the blonde) to give Gillian a spanking, which she does, but he soon takes over and continues her hand spanking.  Eventually he calls one of the spectators to take over and his spanking elicits some profanity which draws a animated reaction from those present.  Her spanking is finished by another man from the audience whose face is never seen.  She makes some remark that can’t be heard but it must have been good since it gets a reaction from those present.  Her punishment continues with several implements used by members of the audience, then she must walk around the room to allow the unseen spectators to examine the results.  She announces that a taxi is waiting to take her to another modelling job but the Headmaster gives her a few hard slaps with a tawse before she is allowed to leave the set to a round of applause at about the 20-minute mark of the movie.

The movie continues after a rather abrupt cut with Lisa (Alison Payne) preparing for the cane.  Her bottom is already red so her punishment must have begun during the break.  The man who first spanked Gillian, who may be an actor since his face is seen on camera, begins her caning 12 strokes.  Three other unseen men take over from him each delivering a dozen strokes in turn although a couple of them are obviously not used to handling a cane and their strokes are a little wild.  This short sequence lasts only 7 minutes.

Now it’s Amanda’s turn.  Her punishment starts with her bent over a desk for a hand spanking delivered by the Headmaster and members of the audience.  It continues with a succession of other implements including a large leather strap anda tawse (or two) wielded by members of the audience and a final few smacks of a wooden paddle delivered by the Headmaster while she stands facing the audience.  This long session, slightly over half of the movie, ends with Amanda over the same spanking horse used early for a lengthy caning by the same audience members who had caned Lisa.  The movie ends with the audience inspecting he bottoms of the two remaining students.

Technically, the movie is a mess.  The dialogue is sometimes difficult to hear and there is often background noise that sounds like a hospital PA system.  The camera positions are often poor and the framing cuts off heads (perhaps deliberately).  I’m not a fan of filmed spanking parties so this movie isn’t one of my favorites.  I would have much preferred to see these three girls in a properly filmed movie rather than a filmed party.
