The Gimp
Jón Atli Magnússon
Reykjavik, Iceland
The Gimp: On first viewing, the line “Bring out the Gimp” makes absolutely no sense. It hangs there for a moment, an odd request from one psycho to another. And then, in a sequence that expertly combines gallows humor, nightmarish horror and sheer surprise, we meet the bizarre leather-clad slave of these two maniacs. Who the Gimp is, how he ended up there and what sinister purpose he serves are things we never learn. And that’s exactly why the scene is so unforgettable.
