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


Crux Rose

Reviewed by Thomas Chaser


If there’s one thing that Max Coxxx at DirtyDeeds.Com is good at, it’s accomplishing a lot with very little to work with. Crux Rose is a perfect example of that.

The video opens with a robe-clad hunchback dragging his bad leg behind him as he steps-slides-steps towards a jail cell at the end of a dark room. He opens the cage door and signals for whomever – or whatever – is inside to come out. So what is the object of his attention? Why, a fetching young black girl dressed in a satin robe!

Now, normally I don't go for black chicks in my porn. Not that I think I'm a racist, but it just isn't my thing. Same with Asians, dwarves, and amputees. Not really my flavor.

Unless, of course, the actress is beautiful.

Max Coxxx is one of the few studio producers making crucifixion films, and in this one, he stays faithful to the genre. Rose is brought out and is escorted to her place of crucifixion, where she willingly (or perhaps she’s under the hunchback’s mental influence) disrobes to reveal the lacy camisole she’s wearing underneath. Or rather, the camisole she’s not wearing for long.

One thing I will say about Rose is that she has perfect nipples. She also has great skin and emotes fairly well. More on that in a second.

Rose is then placed on the cross, tied down, and then long spikes are nailed through her palms and through the tops of her feet. Remember when I said Max can do a lot with a little? Well, here he tries – he really tries – to pull off a good special effect that can be tough to do realistically, and if you can willingly suspend your disbelief, you'll get the payoff. Otherwise, just enjoy Rose flexing and twisting on the cross. Like I said, she emotes fairly well – just enough to convey her pain, but not so over-the-top as to be ridiculous. The stills I'm using really don't do her justice.

She’s raised up into position, and left to die.

We aren't told why she’s being crucified. We aren't told why she seems so compliant. Maybe it’s a human sacrifice. Maybe she’s seeking a higher level of consciousness. Maybe she’s going to pull an Obi-Wan Kenobi and come back stronger than before. Maybe she just likes to spend some alone time naked and in a lot of pain. Who knows? Because you don't know, you're free to build your own backstory. You're given just enough to build a framework, and that’s it. Max Coxxx doesn't have time to mess around with such superfluous things as a serious plot.

Overall, if you're a fan of crux films, this might work for you. If you like smooth-skinned young black girls with dynamite bodies, this will definitely work for you. If you like smooth-skinned young black girls tied naked to crosses with nailheads protruding from their appendages, this will be one you keep on the hard drive for a while. It’s a low-budget short film that relies a lot on your imagination to make it work, but it will work if you're into this sort of thing. Personally, I would've oiled her up to accentuate her body lines, or added “sweat” to make it look like she was really working. I also would've tied her wrists a bit more securely and had her rise up, then sink down, then rise up, then sink down like the women do when they're really being cruxed. But I'm not a movie producer, so what do I know?

The actress is cute, and the dearth of new crux material makes for a thirsty market for this style of bondage. And it’s nice to see Max exercise some imagination by using a hunchback with a limp. Those little touches offset the low budget he had to work with. Still, he’s done better. Alexandra’s Crux and Thou Shalt Not Be Hot are both better crux movies.


My Grade: B-
