Unicoi, thanks for the heads-up on Chaos. Too much of the red stuff turns me off as well. But I had the good fortune to view another horror film called The Torturer, directed by Lamberto Bava, that has a number of GIMP-worthy scenes IMO. And it's not too bloody.
The story is about wannabe starlets who audition with a creepy guy and end up getting tortured to death. Original, huh?
A brief run-down on the scenes of note:
1. With the opening credits rolling, we see a woman in her undies strapped to a gurney and gagged with a rubber muzzle thing. The killer rips off her top and then tortures her breasts with a three-pronged claw. He then takes a blow torch to her leg.
2. The next GIMP scene has the another victim strapped to a wheelchair and ballgagged. The killer attaches electric cables to the chair and gives her some juice. Then he attaches them to her ears to finish her off.
3. Victim No. 3 is chained to a table in her underwear and gagged with a belt. She gets tortured with a soldering iron.
4. After a long lull, the killer finally gets around to another lovely. He handcuffs her, ballgags her and puts her in a wooden box. He eventually drives spikes through the box. This scene was a major disappointment. Handcuffs in front? What's with that?! Not only could she have removed the ballgag with her hands but it was also tied on so loosely that she could have spit it out.
5. The killer later orders a brunette wannabe starlet to fasten a blonde to a cross. She gets a rag stuffed in her mouth. He pulls out her nipple ring and pierces her other nipple.
6. The brunette gets bashed in the mouth, loses some teeth and then is strapped topless to a wooden wheel. She is not gagged because, I guess, her mouth was too much of a mess. The torturer then flogs her with a whip that has metal hooks on the end.
7. The heroine gets knocked out. We later find her in bra and panties manacled (hands in front, arrrgh!), cleave gagged and stuck in a tank, much like from The Cell. Then the water pours in. Perhaps the most boring torture in the movie.
The pluses of the movie? The victims were all attractive. The bondage was mostly tight, and the screams and terror of the women were realistic.
The minuses? Despite all the sexual atmosphere of this film, the killer never taps any of the victims. It also takes too long for the killer to get around to the lovely women stuck in his castle, but I guess this is a mainstream movie. And hands tied or cuffed IN FRONT and loose gags are perhaps my biggest pet peeves.
I hope this helps some of my fellow GIMPers and that I didn't go on too long.
