Something is missing in the marriage of Marissa Kelley. It doesn't take long to learn what she needs. The only clueless soul is her husband Kris, an aspiring DA and law-and-order man in Philadelphia, who can't figure out that Marissa needs a good spanking.

This was a "50 Shades of Grey"-style film that led Marissa into a bizarre relationship with "Slade," the owner of the Club Corporal. The name means "corporal punishment," and Marissa great awakening takes place in the "red room."

It was difficult to buy into almost everything about this film, especially the bizarre demands made on Marissa by the jealous wife of Slade. She would appear to be giving Marissa carte blanche to the red room.

The scenes in the Club Corporal lapsed into comedy. Marissa did not need Slade. She needed a good psychologist.

I have to say this offered no surprises nor thrills. Not a bad movie per se, but just a so-so waste of time. A woman falls under the spell of a mysterious man who offers her a life of forbidden pleasures. Guided by the mistresses of his secret club, she must choose to either resist and run or give in to her submissive side to fulfill her wildest fantasies. That's about all there is, only the mysteries are lukewarm and the pleasures are not as forbidden as they're made out to look. The lead character of 7th Secret, Marissa Kelly (Amanda Figueroa), doesn't tell her husband about her sexual kink. She wants to be spanked, but she's too ashamed to tell her upstanding, running for District Attorney husband Kris (Michael Patrick Lane). Watch it but don't expect too much.
