A Bring Out the GIMP (Girls in Merciless Peril) Movie Review


DHM01: Master Series

(aka Bounty of Pain)

Reviewed by Ralphus


Bounty of Pain is the first release in Dan Hawke's new "Master's Series", selected titles that give you a full-length bondage film along with lots of extra features, including behind-the-scenes footage and commentary. This one stars big-chested teen Mallory Knots in one of her first bondage films, shot before her stint with Insex. And Dan puts her through the ringer in this one.

It starts off with Dan tying the protesting girl with her wrists over her head to a hoist in the ceiling. After fondling her body, he ballgags her and ties her legs apart, making her an easy target for whatever he wants to do to her. After ripping open her dress, he fondles her large, natural tits before ripping off more of her clothing. A babe with tits like these deserves to have them tied up, and Dan doesn't waste his opportunity, trussing them up tightly with rope. Then he runs a rope through her crotch and secures it to a heavy cement block on the floor, leaving her to struggle in bondage.

Although she was nude in the previous scene, Mallory is next seen wearing a sheer body stocking for the next sequence. It doesn't make much sense in terms of the plot, but she looks good, so I'll overlook it. This time he forces her to take a ride on the wooden horse, securing her legs far apart and leaving her arms tied to the hoist above her. To add to her discomfort, he attaches clamps to her nipples and ties her nipple chain to the front of the horse. Poor Mallory has to suffer as her own body weight forces her down onto the point of the horse, and her pussy and nipples receive the brunt of the pain. Dan lets the camera linger over her as we watch her painful ordeal.

She's totally naked as the next scene begins, standing with her hands tied behind her and her mouth filled with a large, spiked ballgag. Dan comes up with another way to torture her fine tits, compressing them with a wooden breast press. He puts metal clamps on her pussy lips and ties the line from the clamps to her toes, then hoists the breast press further off the ground. This forces Mallory to at times teeter on her toes as she has no choice but to stand in this position.

In the following scene, Mallory is gagged with a wooden gag clamped over her tongue, and tied in a kneeling position on a platform. Her knees are bent and her ankles tied to the backs of her calves, with her wrists knotted behind her. Dan then suspends her in this position, and watches as she helplessly twirls in the air. She reacts like she's in pain, and as we hear on the commentary track, indeed, she was.

Next, we see Mallory tied to a wooden stool, her mouth now filled with a red ballgag. And Dan goes to work on tying up her magnificent breasts again. Using wire this time, he encircles them until they jut out, then adds a crotch rope and ties it to the ceiling.

Then Dan tortures her by pouring generous amounts of hot candle wax all over her breasts and pussy, and her reactions make this scene work really well. Finally, he turns out the lights and leaves her overnight, returning in the morning only to snip off her wire bra and promise her that more bad things will happen to her next.

Dan choose a good model to put through his paces. Mallory is a beautiful girl, even though she has a stud through her face that makes her look like she has a metal pimple. Nonetheless, with her long brown hair, bountiful breasts and killer body, she rings my bell, so it was pleasure to watch her suffer.

Production-wise, Dan thankfully loses the annoying music that hampered some of his later productions, but one bugaboo unfortunately still remains: Inexplicably, about 90% of the tape is shot with the camera tilted to the side, and that's really not an exaggeration. It can definitely be distracting if you let it, but try not to. The content is strong enough make up for this flaw, so just lean back, turn your head to the side and enjoy.

This DVD package includes a second disk full of extras, the best of which features Dan talking about working with Mallory and his experiences making the video, which made me appreciate the finished product all the more.
