When I first arrive at The Pain Files, I am given two warnings about the severity of the BDSM and the extremeness of slave torture. My interest is piqued, but I know that a lot of sites make such claims.
Entering the member's area of ThePainFiles, I am a bit more convinced that the site will appeal to the de Sadian soul. The design is painfully hard on the eyes! The colors are good and there is a sense of organization, but the page is filled by text link after link. On the one hand, you can immediately see how frequently the site updates, but I was much happier to find a navigation menu linking me to thumbnail photo and video galleries.
Since we last reviewed this site, it has changed its name. What used to be PainFiles.com got split into 2 sites, SMFiles.com and ThePainFiles.com. While SM Files houses the lighter bondage material, The Pain Files features harder content.
The Photos section features all the updates. Between the two, there are 39 sets, and most photos are nicely organized by slave babe. Pain Files isn't joking about being a severe site. You'll find asses flogged to a point beyond simple redness and you'll see a lot of extreme needle play. Pictures (960x1280) are exceptionally clear. All of the images are amateur shots though. There's no fancy lighting and no spectacular creativity, but each image has a real-life quality to them.
There's a movie area on PainFiles which has 55 videos. The videos were not so well organized and I found it hard to determine what movies were repeated in both sections because of both thumbnail previews and text links. However, most are offered as Windows Media clips. Some movies are downloadable in small clips, others in full-length. Video Clips are 2-minutes and Bonus Clips are about 10-seconds. The amateur films are super-quality, the action is definitely hardcore extreme when it comes to punishments, and all sessions, even the more highly produced videos are believable, which is one of the more important aspects of a BDSM scene to me.
PainFiles is an amateur BDSM site with a mix of exclusive, reality driven content and more highly produced movies. It could definitely use some organization and there could be more consistency in movie formats rather than offering some mpgs, some .mov or .wmv files. When I initially arrived, I wasn't sure that the site would be as extreme as it claimed, however The Pain Files delivers on some very harsh punishments.
