Record number: 414 Title: Head Above Water (1996) Medium: Movie Actress: Cameron Diaz Description: Remake of Hodet over vannet, the Norwegian original. The lovely but neurotic Nathalie (Diaz) has three separate scenes, all taking place in the last half hour. At 1hr 0mins, Nathalie is on a boat and gets knocked out by a punch from husband George. She is next shown 2mins later, lying unconscious on a couch; her hands are tied behind her back with black rope, feet tied together, and she is loosely OTM gagged with a cream-coloured floral print scarf. In several sequences over the next 5mins, she struggles and hops around the house to get a knife from a kitchen drawer. At one point George picks her up over his shoulder to carry her out of the house, but goes back inside and dumps her on the coach again. When he leaves, she uses the knife to cut her hands free and ungag herself onscreen, but after the scarf is pulled down, she spits out a lime which was used as mouth packing! The second scene begins at 1hr 11mins when Nathalie is recaptured by George and new friend Lance. They have her tied to a wooden chair with lots of rope all over her body (hands to armrests, noose around neck, feet together). George then whips out a pale blue cloth and tightly cleave gags her onscreen with it, prompting a helpless mmpphh. However, in the mother of all frustrations for DiD-fans, Lance suggests not to gag her. The cloth is removed from her mouth and again she is left alone. She remains tied to the chair for the next 4mins, during which she manages to tip it over in an energetic struggle and using a chisel to free herself offscreen. For a final time Nathalie winds up bound but not gagged, at 1hr 21mins, this time in mortal peril. George has strapped her to a rollerboard placed on a purpose-built wooden ramp, hands tied in front with rope, feet encased in cement within a metal tub, all on top of a platform above the water and shoreline. A pulley is rigged to send her plummeting into the sea below, but first she has to endure a drunken rant by George. In a stupor, he eventually falls off the platform instead, leaving Nathalie to figure out a way of escaping. Making seemingly clever use of a shotgun and a chainsaw to almost get free, she accidentally triggers the pulley mechanism which causes her to plunge into the sea. Cue a frantic struggle underwater where she reacts fast enough to snag the propeller of a police boat, which just about hauls her to safety at 1hr 27mins. |
