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


Diary of a Serial Killer

Reviewed by jyydubs


As promised, here is some info on one of my favorites Diary Of A Serial Killer. I have included the imdb.com link and a place to purchase the film below. It can also be purchased at vomitbagvideo.com. I recommend both of these sellers (vomit bag and mdn). MDn is in Canada and Vomit Bag is in North America. Both sellers are great and have a wide selection of nasty rape/exploitation films. Both also have great service and prices.

I actually have the original release (on 2 VCD's) of this film. I bought it on a whim from pokerindustries.com. It is long out of print. Vomit bag video has a slightly different version. I feel that this film has been cut a lot. I have never been able to find a longer version though. It still delivers the goods, but I can tell there is more. One commenter on imdb.com states that it is based on a true story and runs almost 2 hours.

Basically, the story is told in flashbacks after the serial killer is caught. He primarily kills prostitutes and is naturally a pretty screwed up guy to say the least. His first victim he strangles while she is in the shower after having sex with her. The second victim is raped on the hood of his car while tied up. He then ties her up to a tree in the woods. Her shirt is ripped open and her legs are spread (no real quality shots of this though) and tied to her wrists. After going through her purse he realizes it's her birthday soon and decided to have a celebration. He then proceeds to put firecrackers in between her toes. Then he produces what appears to be a stick of dynamite or something and jams it up inside her (you can guess where) and ties a lead to it. Naturally, he has to make sure that he is far enough away when things go south for our damsel. As expected he lights the lead and things get exciting.

We are introduced to the third victim as she is tied to a wheelchair. I always appreciate chair ties. He molests and taunts her before cutting all of her clothes off. Taunting her more, he removes her gag. Then unexpectedly he puts a clear bag over her head. She struggles and shakes while he taunts and times her with a stopwatch. Making comments on how he has done this before and that she is "lasting longer" than previous victims because "her breasts are bigger and therefore her lungs are bigger". This guy is a medical genius and I think he is on to something there. This is one of the scenes that I feel is cut. I think more of the struggling was cut. Finally he cuts a small hole to let the victim breath only to take a knife and viciously stab her in the neck. It's honestly a pretty shocking scene. What follows is a bit too much for me. He drinks some of her blood and starts to cut off certain "parts" of her body.

The final victim is another prostitute. After having rough sex with her (this includes bondage and bagging) he ties her to an ironing board on her back. She is still nude. He then uses a magnifying glass to burn spots on her using sunlight. I also feel this scene was cut a bit. She struggles nicely. Finally, he brandishes a hot iron and finishes his deed. This is followed by more nasty cutting. All in all I like this film. It's graphic, shocking, mean spirited, and creative. It is darkly comical too. In a way, that lessens the intensity of the scenes.

On the negative side, the quality of the original release is not the greatest. Double VCD's were never the greatest. I would love to see an uncut DVD release of this, but I am sure it will never happen.

I would give the film an A- due to having 4 pretty quality scenes in a mainstream film.
