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


The Damsel Gift

Reviewed by John Galt


Dungeon Corp's first full-length DVD presentation, The Damsel Gift (2007), stars Skyler Blake as the Damsel and Ogre Kabneched, The Pope and Steely Eye Dan as the bad guys. Skyler Blake is very attractive, with dishwater blond hair, and a slender but nevertheless very shapely body. She has very nice firm but I suspect surgically enhanced breasts, a lovely butt, and unfortunately a plethora of distracting tattoos. Oh well.

The plot is straightforward. Skyler is kidnapped and ransomed, and while she is held by her captors she is used and abused. (There's a summary at the end if the full review looks too daunting.)

Skyler drives up into her driveway and gets out of her car. She is wearing a light green strapless knee-length sun dress. She announces that she is home as she puts away the groceries. Her husband is a wheelchair-bound writer and asks her to inspire him. It is fairly lame dialog so I will spare you. She leaves and he makes a mysterious phone call. And then while she's walking the dog, she gets snatched! Dragged into a van! Ogre hand gags her until they can strap a red ballgag into her mouth. They threaten to hurt the dog if she doesn't cooperate. The monsters. Her hands are tied behind her back and her ankles are tied. She cries out a lot, although probably not as much as if she was really being kidnapped.

The Pope pulls the hemline of her dress up to her waist and the bodice down below her breasts, then smacks her butt and gropes her breasts. Then he cuts off her dress. She is wearing only panties underneath. He cuts them off. Breast squeezing and ass smacking ensue. In a continuity slip, it is suddenly nighttime outside the van window. We watch her on the floor of the van for a minute or so.

Ogre and The Pope carry her out of the van and lay her on a twin-size mattress. They leave and we watch her kind of try to undo her ankle and wrist bonds. The camera travels up and down her naked body as she struggles half-heartedly. She looks very nice. She would look a lot better without all the tattoos, to my way of thinking.

Ogre eventually comes back in the room alone. He squeezes her tits, fingers her pussy, slaps and pinches her, chokes her, and talks threateningly to her for several minutes. He actually spanks her ass pretty hard, from the sound of it. She is still bound and ballgagged. He promises her they are going to have fun with her later. She just kind of lays there and weakly moans. She doesn't really sell being a terrified kidnap victim who has just been told they are going to rape her.

It is later. Skyler is strapped into a chair with her knees and feet fastened apart. She is still gloriously naked and ballgagged. Ogre and The Pope walk in. Both proceed to flog her tits and pussy thoroughly. She moans but she doesn't scream. They video her calling herself a whore. More pussy fingering and pussy and tit flogging. Some light face flogging. Then they pull out the Hitachi and vibe her to orgasm. Her orgasm is weak. Ogre flogs her tits and pussy while she is vibed some more. Apparently she comes some more, but her orgasms are really weak. If she is being over-stimulated, she doesn't show it. The flogging gets pretty serious, though. So there's that. They duct tape her eyes and leave, and we watch her bound naked to the chair for a minute.

Next scene, Skyler is sitting bound on the floor of the cellar. Her wrists and ankles are manacled together. She is not gagged, but she doesn't make any noise. He closes the door and leaves her there for the night. Then they tape an envelope containing a CD to her husband's door. It is a video of what they did to Skyler, and you can clearly identify The Pope in the video, which I think real kidnappers would strive to avoid doing.

The next morning The Pope comes to get Skyler. She has peed herself during the night. She is still wearing the metal manacles, which apparently can be easily unscrewed to separate her hands. Why she didn't undo them herself and flee is a mystery. Her ankle manacles have a chain attaching them, but she can walk in them. Why she didn't just flee with them on in the night is a mystery. She is led to a shower and thoroughly sprayed with cold water from a hose. She is not attached AOH or anything, which I think is a missed opportunity. The Pope wets her down, soaps her up, then rinses her off. She just stands there and shields her face. She does shiver nicely. Afterwards, The Pope lets her re-apply her makeup, still naked and manacled, in a bathroom. We watch. My god this gal has a lot of tattoos. The Pope retrieves her. He fastens her manacled wrists behind her back and leads her away.

Next, Skyler is bound in a standing spread-eagle in a darkened room. She is naked with a red ballgag. Her ankles and wrists are attached to the ends of flat boards (an interesting variation on the spreader bar), with her legs and arms spread. The board her wrists are attached to is also suspended from the ceiling, so she sways back and forth a bit. It is actually kind of a hot bondage arrangement.

The Pope enters and attaches electric pads to the insides of her thighs and her belly and applies current, or so her closed eyes and subdued grimace would indicate. I like more reaction during electricity play, personally. He flogs her backside and her breasts, and even her crotch, which disconnects one of the electrical leads at one point, which he reconnects. He attaches wired clips to her nipples and fiddles with the controls and Skyler grimaces some more. He shoves a plastic and metal probe into her pussy and fiddles with the controls some more. He asks her if she feels that and she says yes, which is a good thing because all she really does is closes her eyes and grimaces quietly. He spanks her, pinches her breasts, flogs her some more. It would be a really hot scene if Skyler looked like she was suffering, but she is far too stoic to sell it as a GIMP scene. Finally, The Pope pulls out the Hitachi vibrator and vibes her to orgasm. I have to admit, the set-up and the model both look hot as hell. If Skyler was screaming and struggling and jerking around like she was trying to escape the electrical and vibratory stimulation, this would be incredible. Alas.

Next up, Skyler is bent over an exercise bench with her wrists fastened together behind her back (and held in place by a strap around her waist and up her back and around her shoulders) and her knees and ankles fastened together. She is not gagged in this scene. Ogre walks in and spanks her briefly, then makes her suck a plastic dildo (which is probably why she is not gagged). He grabs a fistful of her hair and holds her head up while he fucks her mouth with the dildo. He never shoves it deep enough to make her gag, though, so what's the use? He flogs her ass and fingers her pussy and spanks her ass and does it all again and again in a different order. She just kind of moans.

Ogre gags her with a long rope, which he passes around her head and through her mouth several times before he ties it off behind her head. So she's rope gagged now. He pulls it up and attaches it to the ceiling. Then he passes a rope through her ankle bonds and pulls her feet up and attaches the rope to the one from her head, so that her head and feet are pulled upward. He spanks her, then leaves her there and we look on for a minute or so as she just kind of kneels there.

There is a brief Three months earlier... interlude involving Skyler's wheelchair-bound husband where he discovers her diary entry describing how she liked it when he took her by force but lamenting that even though she still loved him she missed that. So, brief plot development. Onward.

In the final set-up, Skyler is pinned to the floor, naked. She is fastened to the floor using bright red straps, which look for all the world like they are held in place on the wooden floor by push pins. Really. But there are straps at her wrists, her elbows, her throat, under her breasts, at her waist, high on her thighs, at her knees and at her ankles. She is spread-eagled, and wearing a matching red ballgag. She looks so absolutely fucking hot is this set-up, it is hard to breathe. Wow.

The Pope walks in with the Hitachi and vibes her. Sadly, she doesn't respond as dramatically as I have been craving this entire movie. Because if she had, this would have made the whole thing worthwhile. She does moan and breathe hard and every so often her body spasms ever-so-slightly. She twitches her right ankle and pulls the strap loose from the floor. (When the camera moves in for a close-up of her pussy being vibed, someone reattaches the ankle strap.)

The Pope leaves and Ogre walks in with a large metal colander, a box of four sticks of butter (not Land O Lakes, by the look of the packaging), and a propane torch. He unwraps each stick of butter and tosses them, one by one, into the colander. He uses one to spread a coating of butter on her breasts and belly. Then he stands over Skyler and applies the torch to the metal colander and lets the melted butter drip down onto Skyler's naked, helpless, spread-eagled body. Sadly, Skyler does not shriek and writhe as the hot butter pours down on her. She just lays there. Ogre uses his hands to spread the butter evenly over her entire body, and also inside her pussy. Then he walks off and the camera moves up and down her body for a while as we admire her.

In the final clip, we see the kidnappers return Skyler to her husband. She runs and hugs him and tells him she was so afraid and then notices her dog and asks how the dog got back home. Her husband smiles conspiratorially. The End.

SUMMARY: Skyler Blake is kidnapped. She is manhandled into the back of a van, where she is hand gagged and then ballgagged, then groped and exposed and spanked. Then she is carried in and placed on a mattress, naked and bound hands behind her back and wrists (and ankles) together and ballgagged. She is spanked and fingered and pinched and choked. Next, Skyler is strapped into a chair, naked and ballgagged. She is flogged, fingered and vibed, and finally blindfolded using duct tape. Bet that did wonders for her eyebrows. She is manacled and left overnight in a cellar, not secured to a wall or anything, and not gagged. She so could have escaped. The next morning she is taken to a shower and sprayed down with a hose using cold water, soaped up, then rinsed off. She shivers nicely. In the second-best set-up, in my opinion, Skyler is in a standing spread-eagle, naked and ballgagged. She is flogged and electricity is applied to her body using pads and inside her pussy using an insert. She is vibed again. Next, she is bent over an exercise bench with ankles and knees bound toether and wrists bound together behind her back. She is flogged and spanked and fingered. In the best scene, Skyler is fastened spread-eagled to a wooden floor using red straps and she has a red ballgag. She is vibed to multiple orgasms and then melted hot butter is dripped onto her body. [SPOILER AHEAD!] Then they let her go, because it was all a set-up by her wheelchair bound husband to give her the rough sex she misses. What a considerate guy.

Skyler Blake is hot. She is very pretty and has a kick-ass body, even if her breasts are probably surgically enhanced. Her smoking body, unfortunately, is literally covered in tattoos, which I found a bit off-putting, but not so much that I couldn't enjoy her nudity. She also has a high pain tolerance and is very stoic when being punished. As a result, she never screams, her moans are rarely very loud, and she doesn't struggle or try to escape the hand or flogger that is impacting her. She also does not orgasm in a spectacular manner. In short, her reactions are not the stuff with which great GIMP movies are made. Which is a damn shame, because two of the set-ups she was put through were awesome to view, and if she had screamed and writhed and struggled and pretended fear and pain (or even uncontrollable orgasms), it would have made for some major masturbatory magic. But it missed. Damn it.

So, very high production values, nice photography, hot model, innovative bondage set-ups, lots of ballgags, electro-torture, decent storyline for those who care. No forced sex. Quite a well-done DVD. However, Skyler is far too stoic and takes it all in stride, and as a result the GIMP value overall is minimal. So while the DVD is very good, as a GIMP feature it misses out and gets maybe a C-, tops.
