Kill Me Or Let Me Go (2009)

This time we are going to be looking at Kill Me Or Let Me Go from Benjamin Baker. First off the DVD is actually three short films with Kill Me of course but it also contains The Abduction Of Rookie Rynard and The Vampires Of Grim Lake. Kill Me Or Let Me Go is only thirteen minutes long and I really wish it was more. At least a half hour would be nice. The movie is broken up into four titles that are chess themed off of the character's name. For example knight takes bishop is the start and it's because the character James Earl Bishop is being taken to his execution by a guy named... you guessed it Knight. Once there he gets to choose how he wants to die but that all comes to a halt when a random alarm is sounded and everyone gets out of the area as fast as they can leaving Bishop to discover what it is they were running from. A couple minutes later we enter the Queen's chapter which again you probably guessed involves someone named Queen.
But ha ha your wrong. It's actually just three chicks tied up in the basement and gagged in lingerie. One of them happens to be the very attractive Erin Chaney (co-writer/producer). So with that said I know we are all going to go buy it so I will take a minute and let you go to the website to buy it.


Ok this is actually the best part and not just because of the obvious. Enter a guy named Rookie and picture this: he is a pretty heavy set guy who loves to drink his moonshine with his jean jacket open and his no shirt gut hanging out and terrifying the girls he has captured. He's also badass with a harmonica. Yes I said it, a harmonica and he can play it and he does so. He breaks out with a blues vibe sound and starts singing to the girls how he is going to kill them. "Gonna kill me some bitches" he sings straight to the point. The girls, crying and scared, sing back "kill me or let me go" which kind of sounds like a KMFDM song. You know what the film is called because people about to die like to say that phrase. So the song goes on and I am interested in the soundtrack at this point. I won't give too much more away but seriously it's worth checking. Not just because a chick who co-wrote the story agreed to have her and two friends tied up in lingerie on the floor. I had to add that again in case anyone was sleeping the first time. Ok now onto the Abduction Of Rookie and yes it's the same guy who played the harmonica and sang so I was interested from the start. This time we get to see him making his family's special moonshine. He goes through explaining the steps, sips on some to make sure it's right and about now he is pretty spaced out and see's a talking puppet that he calls his dad. He starts arguing with it and walks outside then gets attacked by alien. I'll give you a minute to analyze that. It's only three minutes long but worth a watch even if you hate puppets that argue with you. Check it out.

Vampires Of Grim Lake is a little different for me and not really my thing. First off I will say that it's filmed with an old film style and look that I thought was pretty cool. The killing always has some death metal playing while it's done so that can be hit or miss for you. After killing an old guy on a boat, who I am guessing must have been an acid head, the vampires begin to trip in a blue light and bubble sequence. That leads to some talking between the two vampires which sounds more like a wrestling match than normal talk. Fast forward and you see the vampires killing some other vampires which is witnessed by the "Chuck Norris" of the film who goes home to put on his war paint and begins some Rambo style crossbow killing. Over all check this collection out. Vampires Of Grim Lake may or may not be for you but I highly recommend the other two films. If you like low budget films or want to be the first to own these movies which will be talked about for years to come head over to Bake Productions and get the DVD.

Farewell for now...
