Angel Brown (Gimpel) is grabbed in the opening scene, handcuffed, and has a bag put over her head. Later, when the kidnapper removes the bag she starts to scream so the he puts a piece of cloth in her mouth and duct tape gags her. The gag is taken off and put back on several times as he talks with her and to let her eat and drink. When the VCTF finds out where he is holding her, he takes her to a abandoned water plant, removes the bag and gag because she can "Scream all you want, no one will hear you." Finally, she complains the handcuffs are hurting her, so he removes them and uses more duct tape to bind her wrists and ankles in front.

Full treatment scenes in this tourist horror flick
Record number: 11607

Title: Wolf Creek (2005)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Cassandra Magrath, Kestie Morassi

Description: Chilling Naturalistic Horror movie about 3 tourists (2 female, 1 fella) in the Australian outback who fall foul of an evil Crocodile Dundee. About 50 minutes in they are secretly drugged, and fall asleep. Cut to Magrath who comes to in a shed, her wrists are tightly bound palms together in front of her and her ankles tied, both with black plastic ties and there is a cloth gag between her teeth. As realization dawns she pulls the gag free then struggles and tests her bonds,even attempting to open the door and escape while bound. Lighting in this scene suggests a full day passes before she finds a shard of glass on the floor and cuts herself free with it.

Magrath is wearing grey combats and a blue t-shirt, no shoes.

On escaping she follows the sound of screaming and sees Morassi in a corrugated iron building, she is wearing nothing but a bloodstained shirt, her hands bound around the back of a metal post. Her captor is torturing her both mentally and physically while she begs him to stop.

When Magrath creates a diversion the man cleve gags Morassi and goes to investigate. Magrath enters the shed and tries to calm her now hysterical friend but is forced to hide when the man returns. While he taunts Morassi some more she grabs his gun, shooting him. She unties Morassi's hands but Morassi struggles to remove her gag.

I would add that the caveat that this second scene has an unpleasant and sadistic nature that may not be to everyone's taste

Mutiple scenes in this Harrison Ford thriller
Record number: 11871

Title: Firewall (2006)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Virginia Madsen, Carly Shcroeder, Mary Lyn Rajskub

Description: Madsen and Schroeder are the kidnapped wife and daughter of Harrison Ford in this thriller. The villains have taken Madsen and Shcroeder (along with Ford's son) hostage to force Ford to help them rob the bank. When Ford first comes home, he finds Madsen and Schroeder tied with cable ties and gagged with clear tape on the couch. He instantly ungags them. A little under an hour later the villains try doublecrossing Ford and take the hostages away in a van. When we see them in the van, they are bound and gagged as they originally were. Ford turns to Mary Lynn Rajskub for help but not before having to handgag her and tell her what's going on. He taps into a computer and takes back the money he robbed for them. Madsen is ungagged so she can talk to Ford over the phone but remains bound for most of the rest of the movie. Shcroeder stays gagged for a while longer until her brother starts hyperventilating and one of the crooks ungags them.

A decent bunch of scenes and its neat to see clear tape used for a gag for a change of pace.



First scene on the couch is at 17:20 (there 'bouts), not at the 30-minute mark. The next scene, in the van, is at 1:19:57, not at just under the hour mark. Incidently, this scene is AFTER the handgag scene with Mary Lynn Rajskub, not before.

Virginia is ungagged & tossed out of the van at the 1:27:00 minute mark. We then see shots of Carly, still tape gagged, at the following times: 1:27:19, 1:28:00, 1:30:11 (for 3 quick shots of her in the background, as Virginia is trying to get their dog to quit barking at the kidnappers while they are driving) 1:31:22, 1:31:50, 1:32:45 and from 1:33:24 until 1:34:05, when she is ungagged. All remain bound for the next 5 minutes or so, then the rough & tumble climax begins & all are freed.

Outer Limits
Day: Tuesday February 20 2007
Time: 3am est
Channel: Sci FI
Record number: 6495

Title: The Outer Limits (1995)
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Rhonda Dent

Description: Episode: "Dark Child" (7.20)

Pretty Rhonda Dent plays the youthful version of Nora Dunn's character Laura who is having flashbacks to her past when she was a victim of an alien abduction.

There are a number of short flashbacks, spread throughout the episode, in which young Laura is seen restrained to a table, clad only in her panties, while aliens do their usual probings and big-eyed staring bit.

Though the scenes are short, Rhonda struggles and emotes quite well in her too few moments of onscreen time. Hopefully someone in Hollywood noticed her natural DiD acting abilities and will get her a juicier role in the future, preferably in the very near future of course.
