Record number: 1362 Title: In Dreams (1999) Medium: Movie Actress: Krystal Benn, Annette Bening Description: Bening fears for the safety of a little girl (Benn) who lives in a house with her crazed father. At 1hr 19mins she tries to lead Benn away from a room, but she starts to scream in protest. Bening grabs and handgags her to keep her quiet, but is knocked out from behind by the father. Soon, Bening wakes up and realizes that she isn't going anywhere fast: first we are shown an extreme close-up of her face, gagged with a wide (ear-to-ear) strip of duct tape, and a small streak of blood visible on her forehead. The shot then zooms out and we see that she is lying on a bed on her side, hands tied behind her with rope, which are connected to her ankles in a loose hogtie, and a rope noose also around her neck. All of the ropework is quite loose. She tries to struggle a bit, but then stops and notices Benn talking to her from across the bed. She crawls over to sit next to her, calmly explaining something about how Bening made her father angry, whilst refusing to ungag her for risk of making him even madder. The sequence ends in an adorable fashion with Benn giving her a kiss on the cheek and leaving her to struggle on the bed. A minute later Benn and her father return to the room. He tells her to go and join Bening, who is still hogtied and gagged as before, to which she happily snuggles up next to her on the bed. They both listen quietly as he gives a crazy monologue in front of a dressing table mirror, during which we see Bening lightly tugging at her ankle bonds to no avail. He eventually cosies up next them and rips the tape off Bening's mouth (eliciting a pained reaction from her). Both he and Benn then give her a kiss on the cheek each as they all try to get some sleep. At 1hr 24mins, Benn decides to untie her and they both leave the room together. The scene lasts just under 4mins, is darkly lit throughout, and has a decent mix of close-ups and full-body shots. Bening wears a crimson dress showing a lot of leg, and stiletto heels. Benn wears a coat, light-coloured trousers and slippers. |

Record number: 6772 Title: Law & Order: Criminal Intent aka Law & Order: CI Medium: TV Series Actress: Marianne Hagan, Stephi Lineburg, Bailey Slattery Description: Episode: "Homo Homini Lupis" (1.14) A loan shark kidnaps an embezzling executive's family as collateral for a huge debt. The ladies are blindfolded, shackled, gagged with duct tape. One character is raped by their menacing captor -- off screen, mercifully. The scene, despite this shortcomming, is a multi-damsel scene (a rare kind of scene that is always welcome in my book) with a reasonable length with some decent close-ups especially those of the mother and the elder daughter. In addition, the mother told the police that she and her daughters were "tied up" in a bathroom at a rest area on the NY Thruway when they were found by her father-in-law. Too bad they did not show the rescue! While I personally could have done without the rape scene, I have to admit that such scene certainly added to the episode's drama and suspense. Moreover, that scene gave a very credible sense of urgency and determination to police's efforts to catch the bad guy and also contributed greatly to the victims' ultimate decision to assist the police. Hence, the rape scene made a major contribution to the plot of the episode. First scene occurs around the 12' mark and last scene ends by the 25' mark. |

Record number: 17250 Title: The Vampire Diaries Medium: TV Series Actress: Nina Dobrev Description: Episode: "Death and the Maiden" (5.7) Crazed doppelganger Amara (Nina) is kept captive in the cellar dungeon for her own safety. Since she is trying to hurt herself, her hands have been tied behind her back with rope while she rages around the cell, but she manages to get her hands free. This occurs at 6mins. At 14mins she has been tied to a chair, with her hands re-tied in front and resting on her lap. She manages to have a coherent conversation with her captors, and agrees to help them in their attempt to resurrect a dead witch. This continues at 21-23mins. By the 28min mark, the resurrection attempt has failed and Amara is shown being held as bait in the woods to lure her lover into a trap. She is tied to a tree with wrists in front, lots of rope encircling her waist, and very loosely cleave gagged with a grey bandanna (no mmpphhing, just heavy breathing). When her lover arrives, she is quickly ungagged and her hands untied, but ends up having to finish the job as both her lover and captor fight it out in front of her. |
