Record number: 19729 Title: The Bride He Bought Online (2015) aka Flirting with Madness Medium: TV Movie Actress: Anne Winters, Annalisa Cochrane, Lauren Gaw Description: In this thriller that aired on Lifetime, lonely nerd John seeks revenge by kidnapping three high-school girls who played a prank on him and posted his humiliation on social media. The opening scene shows a girl in his car trunk, struggling and mmmphing, though her identity is difficult to make out since the scene consists entirely of closeups of her duct-taped mouth and ankles and zip-tied hands. According to the film's director, Christine Conradt: "It was intentionally shot to be ambiguous so we used a double for those shots.". Then we jump back in time. Starting around 52 minutes in (with commercials), John captures the girls separately. Timid Mandy (Lauren Gaw) is knocked out with a blow to the head, bitchy ringleader Kaylie (Annalisa Cochrane) is grabbed in her house at gunpoint, and we only see him sneaking up behind our relatively level-headed narrator Avery (Anne Winters). All three girls are wearing modest street clothes. We see each of them gagged with tape, with a few good closeups of Mandy and Avery, though the gags are all removed fairly quickly once the girls arrive at John's hideout. The girls spend much of the second hour ungagged, with their hands bound with plastic ties and further secured to support posts with steel cables. Mandy's and Kaylie's hands are behind their backs, while Avery's hands are initially in front. John's plan is to sell all three girls into foreign slavery, but he only manages to hand over Kaylie (who in a dark twist is never seen again) before the deal goes south. He returns to the hideout with Mandy and Avery, who manages to attack him with a broken bottle, but he overpowers her and reties her with her hands behind her back. Eventually, both girls manage to take advantage of a fatal dispute between John and his prostitute confidant to make their escape.
