The poster for Saw VI
Saw VI opens this weekend. Critics scoff at the movie and call it torture porn, and have found the killer, Tobin Bell’s Jigsaw to be unrealistic. There has been a real life Jigsaw right here in New Mexico – David Parker Ray of Truth or Consequences. There wasn’t much truth with David Parker Ray. There were certainly horrific consequences. I’m surprised that there hasn’t been a real torture porn made about him. I don’t think I could sit through it.
According to wikipedia.com-- David Parker Ray utilized a $100,000 homemade torture chamber he called his "toy box", equipped with what he referred to as his "friends": whips, chains, pulleys, straps, clamps, leg spreader bars, and surgical blades and saws.With these tools it's thought that he terrorized Truth or Consequences for several years. Inside the torture room, along with numerous sex toys and torture implements, there was an electronic generating device that was used in torture, as well as a 12-volt motorized breast stretcher. Ray would often have a recorded audio tape of himself be played for his victims whenever they regained consciousness.
A living victim, Cynthia Vigil escaped on March 22, 1999. She stabbed one of his accomplices and ran away wearing only a slave collar. That led to Ray’s immediate arrest. He was sentenced to 224 years in prison after being convicted of numerous offenses involving the abduction and sexual torture of three young women. It is unclear how many people died. He died a few months later after sentencing.
Unlike Jigsaw, Ray didn’t play games or indulge in witty repartee. He was just pure evil. It wasn't torture porn, it was just torture.
I don’t expect to see Saw VI this weekend.
