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


The Dig, Part 1

Reviewed by John Galt


Well, Hogtied put up a new video called The Dig, which is billed as "A BDSM Abduction Horror Feature film starring Cherry Torn, Rain DeGrey and Iona Grace." Now, when I think of horror, I think of pain and torture and by that I don't mean torture by Hitachi Magic Wand to achieve screaming forced orgasms and not pain as in obviously pushing the limits of a pain slut. And even though I should know better, I watched it to see if it delivered.

The Dig, Part 1 (A Hogtied Video Presentation, 2011)

Yes, that's right. This is just Part 1. I was disappointed to read "To Be Continued" at the end of this 27-1/2 minute "feature film." There's no telling how many parts it will eventually have. They did a Cabo thing that was seemingly interminable, and then they did a sequel to it. But honestly, if you like Hogtied stuff, this was pretty good.

It is easy to summarize the plot set up: Rain DeGrey is the lead paleontologist, with Iona Grace and Cherry Torn assisting her. They are out in the middle of nowhere. The skies are rumbling threateningly. They decide to dig at an indian burial ground because they aren't superstitious. I thought it was illegal myself, but what do I know. Anyway, they find large bird bones--larger than normal, maybe the largest ever seen. Then three guys in bird-like outfits swoop in and the BDSM abduction horror film begins.

Let me just get this off my chest first. I saw those bird guys and the first thing I thought was, "Hey, it's the Winged Avenger!" from the old British Avengers TV show episode of the same name. Tell me I'm wrong. Below on the left, The Winged Avenger. Below on the right, the Hogtied video. The Winged Avenger has a red lining to his cape because he's British, and even British monsters have a bit more class, but other than that....

There's a bit where the three girls flee through the forest, although the bird guys don't give chase so much as plod along behind them. Two of the girls take refuge in their tent. Really? Take refuge in a tent? The bird guys follow them in and the sides of the tent bulge and vibrate with signs of a fight. (I am rolling my eyes.) The third gal jumps into the truck, but one of the bird guys is sitting there waiting for her. It takes her a while to notice. Then, outside and from a distance, we see the truck rocking.

Next we see Rain and Iona being marched naked through the forest.
Marched through the forest
Cherry is on her back bound against a log, naked, with her feet spread and in the air with a tree limb stuck in her pussy. That might have been cool in a brutal violation sort of way except it was a limb from a rubber tree, apparently, since it had a rubber dildo on the end of it.

Fade out and fade in on Iona hanging upside down from a tree limb. Cherry is marched up and you think maybe the bird guy is going to make her eat out Iona but the branches binding Cherry stick out too far so she can't get close enough. Iona is finger fucked and her pussy is slapped. Cherry is forced onto her knees to suck a bird guy's cock. Then Iona is forced to suck the bird guy's cock.
Suspended and face fucked
Meanwhile, Rain is being held under a waterfall, naked. That's about all I can say about that.
Rain under the waterfall
In the next scene, which is still outdoors, all three girls are on their knees, bound to short crosses made of thick tree branches. The bird guys take turns fucking them in the mouth, roughly, and going deep and holding their heads in place as they struggle to breathe. Or gag. They also whip their breasts and stomach, and use a switch on their breasts, stomach, and inner thighs.
Bound to the short crosses
To be continued.

SUMMARY: Three female paleotologists excavate an indian burial mound and incur the wrath of three bird guys, who bind them, march them naked through the forest, tie one of them suspended upside down from a tree, tie another one under a waterfall, and tie the third one on her back to a log with her feet spread and in the air. Then they are all bound kneeing to short crosses and whipped, switched, and forced to fellate the bird guys.

This is an impressive, professionally shot feature. The acting is minimal. I have a hard time believing Rain DeGrey is a paleontology professor, although the other two could conceivably be student interns. The bird guys just caw. The soundtrack consisted of moans and whines and cries. Honestly, I think it would have been better if the girls had been more vocal, asking why the bird guys were doing things to them, asking what the bird guys were, begging to be let go, crying hysterically--you know, at least nominally acting the part of three terrified girls. As it was, they just came across as three pain sluts enduring the pain. No terror, no humiliation, no confusion, no nothing that would have made me believe the scenario.

Alas, there was no horror aspect to this at all. They were abducted and they were bound and they were punished. This did not live up to its billing as a horror film at all. This is just a very well done standard Hogtied video feature, with three more-or-less attractive women (who were all seriously tattooed, which explains the more-or-less qualification), shot on location outdoors. I was not able to suspend my disbelief enough to even pretend this was a non-consensual abduction and torture situation. So while it was a very well done feature, with some really nice bondage situations, as a GIMP flick I can only muster a lackluster C grade.

You can download this from Hogtied for about $19.99. If you are a member you can download it as part of your membership.

My Grade: C
