I love the first two. Scary? Not really, but a wonderfully perverse exploration of the pleasure/pain principle and overtly sexual in a way that T&A horror can never be. These films were quite formative for me when they came out. They helped me appreciate concepts beyond my limited and very Catholic world view and I got really into SM/BD after watching these in the theater.
Granted, I've outgrown that phase, but I'll always appreciate the slanted view and how it affected me. It's funny to think how tame the films seem to me now, but when they came out they were amazingly fresh.
