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


The Dig, Part 2

Reviewed by John Galt


The Dig, Part 2 (A Hogtied Video Presentation, 2011)

The Dig, Part 2 is a 57 minute video, but 37 minutes of it are after-interview and behind the scenes documentary. That means if you combine both parts together, The Dig, Parts 1 and 2 run for about 48 minutes total. This is more of the same standard Hogtied stuff, which is to say it was pretty good. I will still say that as a "BDSM Abduction Horror Feature," it fails.

You can read the review of Part 1 here, but to recap 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. Three guys in bird-like outfits swoop in and the BDSM abduction horror film begins.

Part 2 begins with Cherry Torn naked hanging upside down from a tree, her ankles together and her hands bound behind her back. Her breasts are also in restrictive bondage. She is swaying and moaning. Off to the side, Rain Degrey is bound with her arms spread between two trees. Her breasts are also in restrictive bondage, tied separately to the trees. Her feet are not bound.
Cherry suspended upside down
Two bird guys walk into scene. One whips Cherry with a cat-o-nine-tails looking thing. The other one pokes, prods and hits Rain with a switch. Then they change places and Cherry is switched while Rain is whipped.
Bird guy does stuff
One of the bird guys ties large rocks to the ropes binding Rain's breasts, pulling them even more, which is a nice bit. Then he walks up behind her and fucks her.

He slaps her face, then walks over and has upside down Cherry suck his cock. He ties another rock to the rope around Cherry's throat and leaves her gasping for air.

Meanwhile, Iona is naked, bound on her knees with her head buried in the ground. A small plastic tube protrudes up between her legs through which she is breathing. A bird man finger fucks her ass and pussy, and plays with blocking the air tube, although as a torture it is not as effective as if, say, her head was held underwater in an aquarium and we could she her panic as her air supply was cut off. But oh well. She is also hit with a switch. I did not like that there was a microphone in the hole with her head because the noise level was too loud.
Iona Grace the Ostrich
The final scene has Cherry and Rain bound in a modified strappado to a tripod device. Iona is walked in with a cross branch roped across her shoulders and arms. The bird guys haul her up into the air and leave her suspended. Fade out.
Final Tableau
A caption tells us the girls were never heard from again.

The after interview and behind the scenes documentary were actually the most interesting thing about this video. It turns out they went on location to New York to shoot this with Intersec and PD. They were there during extremely bad weather, and it was flooding and raining and cold the entire time. And they were being eaten alive by mosquitoes. I have to give real props to Rain Degrey for standing in that floodwater waterfall, which was extremely cold. In fact, it looked colder and more uncomfortable in the documentary than in Part 1 when it took place. We also find out that Cherry got nauseous and vomited while she was suspended upside down, and they had to let her down to recover, but then hauled her back up to finish the scene. Although I would have liked to see more terror and fear and, well, acting in these videos, I have no problem giving all three of these gals immense respect for what they went through to shoot this.

SUMMARY: Our three female paleontologists continue to be bound and punished by the bird guys. Upside down hanging bondage, extremely tight breast bondage, whipping, switching, fucking and finger fucking, forced fellatio, and suspensions.

This is the second part of an impressive, professionally shot feature. Like Part 1, the acting is minimal. My biggest complaint, which I mentioned in Part 1 and it continued in Part 2, is that the girls don't sell it as a "horror" movie. What I said in my first review still applies: 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--in short, acting the part of three terrified girls. 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.

So even in Part 2, there was no horror aspect to this video. Not a horror film. Just a very well done Hogtied video feature. With a really enjoyable after interview and making-of documentary tagged on the end. This part was even shorter than the first, but I will maintain its 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
