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


Bad Reputation

and

Triloquist

Reviewed by Brutus


I saw a couple of mainstream films with some GIMP scenes that may be of interest:

Bad Reputation (2005): For this low-budget teenage revenge-type movie, I was gonna use the word "typical" but this was 10 times worse. The acting was almost as bad as the dialogue. Hell, even the music was grating. The only redeeming factors were that the victim didn't gain supernatural powers to seek justice, and, of course, the following entry for the rape database:

A popular football player politely asks a nerdy plain jane to his party, slips a roofie in her drink, and date rapes her in his bedroom. He shoves a sock in her mouth to shut her up while another jock holds down her arms and a third buddy watches the door. After the rape, she passes out, and the door watcher tries to rape her unconscious body but can't get it up. The entire scene (minus cuts) was over 4 minutes long. Unfortunately, no nudity.

As a bonus, the football player's jealous ex-girlfriend believes his lie that the nerd got drunk and came onto him. So her and her friends use duct tape to secure her to a pole outside, arms at side, and gag her. She also has the word "slut" written on her forehead in lipstick. She's left outside and eventually frees herself. The rest of the movie is her acting like a slut and exacting revenge, where only the guys are tortured and the chicks die way too quickly, decapitations and such.

Triloquist (2008): Bizarre movie about a brother and sister, abused as kids, who try to survive as a family on their way to Vegas. The sister is nuts. The brother's a meek-looking guy who only talks through his evil-looking, wise-cracking dummy who kills anyone who pisses him off. The sister decides the family line cannot end with them, so they abduct a hot motorist, and keep her bound and sometimes gagged in the trunk of their car and in a motel room for a good part of the movie. The idea is that silent brother will impregnate her. He screws his sister instead. He also attempts to rape the hostage on a pool table, but she talks her way out of it. There is nudity in this movie, but the victim is only stripped down to her underwear.

For some reason, I was strangely entertained by this movie despite its leaps in logic, gaping plot holes and confusion over whether this was a comedy or horror movie. Imagine "Natural Born Killers" with Oliver Stone on (more?) acid.
