can’t believe I’m doing this to somebody.’ We didn’t really have a code red; pull me out kind of thing. So there were moments where it was hard to know if we were going too far, ya know? It was at times frightening.”

Unlike most films where a character really only plays one side of the coin, victim or attacker, Descent offered the rare opportunity for the actors to play both in a single character; as a man it’ hard to imagine which sensation was harder to shake, brutalizing a woman or being totally devoured by another man.

“I had moments in both of them actually. When we did the scene where I was attacking her there was a moment where I was actually plugging her nose with my hand and of course she was fighting me off, but I thought that was just her as the character fighting me off, I didn’t realize that it was actually something going wrong, and like I said, we didn’t have a pull out code red, so there was a moment when I realized I actually had hurt her and it put a whole new reality to it.”

I could spit out the gag but I couldn’t take off the blind fold and I couldn’t even like, ya know, adjust my cock if I wanted to,’ he jests. “So I was extremely vulnerable. And to top it all off in the part that they used where I had to be fully naked, Rosario slaps me across the face twice and I’d asked her to really do it so I wouldn’t have to fake a reaction and I ...
