Bondage / Captivity / Interrogation / Torture Scenes in Mainstream Movies

A movie scene I found online. No idea of the name of the movie or the plot, but it's a nice hospital-based torture scene of a girl in a straitjacket by an evil matron and her two goon wardens. No nudity (straitjackets and nudity are pretty much mutually exclusive), but there is a rape threat (Goon to matron: "... you said that maybe you'd hand her over to us after you were done with her ...").

There is also a revenge section at the end of the clip with the matron getting drenched instead, but as she isn't tied or stripped or otherwise restrained that scene doesn't really work for me.
This is from a 2001 comedy called "Maniacts." I haven't seen it, but judging from the clip the acting is so broad and silly it might be kinda fun, if your taste runs to that sort of humor. Mine doesn't so I'll pass. Now if the water had torn her clothes off, then yeah, I'd think it was a real knee-slapper.
 
Thanks, Jon. You're right -- looks like the film is on Youtube in its entirety (link), but diving into a few other scenes shows the comedy is really very broad, which wasn't as apparent from the scene I posted on its own. Difficult to take the CF-relevant aspects seriously in that context. Pity, I thought the concept had potential. I like mental asylum based stories as they have such an uneven power balance with great humiliation potential without needing to be all that graphic. Joe Doe and Lakewood wrote a few very nice stories in that genre.
 
I'm a fan of Lakewood also, not so much Joe Doe. I found some of their stories on the old Yahoo Strip Search group and now on a Strip Search group on Reddit. Do you know of any other resources?
C. Lakewood is dead, I believe, but there is a complete archive of his stories at asstr.org, along with older Joe Doe and Joe Whatever stories:


ASSTR seems down at the moment (not sure if that's permanent), but the stories are archived at the Wayback Machine:


The Yahoo Strip Search group has migrated to a new site, which unfortunately doesn't seem very active:

 
Riley Keough in "The House That Jack Built" (2018) - IMDB

"Simple" is scared of her boyfriend Jack (Matt Dillon), because he is acting strange. When he pulls down her shirt and draws a line around each of her breasts with a marker, she knows that something is up. Jack confesses to her that he is a serial killer and is kill count is about to rise from 60 to 61. Simple runs out of the house and into a cop. But the cop thinks that she is on drugs and does not believe her story.

Simple is then taken back into her apartment by Jack, where he ties her up. Collecting some knifes from the kitchen, he philosophizes for a while, which one would be best for cutting her up. Once he makes his choice, he gets to work.

The kill happens off screen, but we do see the result: One of Simple's cut off breasts lands on the windscreen of the policeman who denied to help and the other one is kept by Jack as a trophy and turned into a wallet.

"The House that Jack Built" is the story of serial killer named Jack. Similar to a Tarantino movie, it tells the story through several "episodes", one more horrifying than the other.

On the surface, "The House that Jack Built" may seem like another gory "WTF did I just watch" flick. But in my opinion, the true horror is transferred through the suspense it keeps masterfully building up while a scene unfolds. The movie perfectly uses in-your-face forshadowing so that the spectator gets good idea of what is going to happen from the start. But that does not take away the tiniest bit of the impact when the scene reaches its climax.
 
I recently watched a Spanish movie called "Coven of Sisters" on Netflix. I thought it was an interesting and worthwhile film in its own right, and worth a watch. There are a few scenes of interest to those of us who appreciate Inquisition movies for reasons beyond their deeply wrought drama and biting social commentary.

It is 1609, and an Inquisitor from the Holy Office arrives at a fishing village in Basque country to rid the people of their pesky witches. Six young women are quickly arrested based on reports that they dance in a wooded glen. They are thrown together into a cell and then are questioned one at a time. The Inquisitor is not only on a witch hunt, but is also obsessed with getting a true account of an actual Witches' Sabbath (called Akelarre in Basque, the original title of the movie.)

After a couple of the women are tortured (off screen) one of the women, Ana, played by Amaia Aberasturi, realizes that they will all burn whether they confess or not, so to buy time, she convinces the others to give the Inquisitor what he wants. She confesses that she is a witch after a brief stint on the torture table, and tells the Inquisitor that she will not just tell him about the Witches' Sabbath, but show him. They must wait for the full moon, however. This is a ploy, as she knows that all the men will be returning from their fishing expedition on the tides of the full moon, and will presumably settle the Inquisitor's hash when they get back.

In my opinion, a reasonable presumption. I knew some Basques and they were hard dudes. If I were an Inquisitor and was going to torture their women, I would definitely do it while they were away, and I would be long gone before they got back.

View attachment 981323View attachment 981321View attachment 981322 Ana on the table. Her body hair is scraped off with a razor, and her hair is cut to reveal the devil's mark.

View attachment 981320 They can't find the mark by visual inspection, so they resort to the prick.

View attachment 981318View attachment 981319 The interrogator explains that the devil likes to hide his mark in hidden places; inside the nose, in the shameful parts, or even in the eye. At this point Ana confesses.

View attachment 981317Ana is stripped and bathed to get her ready for the Witches' Sabbath. Alas, all we get is the rear view.

I suppose the head covering on the old lady is a provincial style. She makes a joke about it. She tells Ana, I think in Basque so the others won't understand, that everyone knows that the tail of the cap looks like a large cock, but the men are too afraid and embarrassed to say anything about it.

View attachment 981316 On the night before the six women are to burn, they are taken to the glen to perform the Witches' Sabbath. They give quite a memorable performance. One of the women puts her body into some very enticing contortions.

As I said, a worthwhile and interesting movie. Ana's first questioning by the Inquisitor is very effective in revealing just how confusing such an interrogation would be to a relatively simple and naive person. I wonder if it was based on an actual account. Ana more than gets her own back however when she explains to the rapt Inquisitor exactly what the witches get up to during their Sabbath.

I have my usual complaints about the current fad in film making: the reliance on quick cuts and extreme close ups throughout. There is some brief nudity, including the much too short scene with Ana on the table, which is the only torture scene.
I have seen this film in spanish, the girls speak in euskera (basque language) among them (subtitled because most people in Spain don´t understand this ancient language ). The initial plot is very interesting and original as John Smitie says, but the conclusion is disappointing in my opinion (however don´t let anybody to spoil you it).

The actress, Amaia Aberasturi is gorgeous, nude and bondage scenes are short but hot.

If I could have a superpower, of course my first choice would be invisibility so I could go into women's locker rooms, but secondly I would have the power of fluency in all languages. I would have loved to understand this movie in both Spanish and Euskera, especially the interrogation scenes.

I actually appreciated the ending. It could have gone several different ways, and I was glad they chose what they did. But no, won't spoil it.

After finding several treasures in this thread, I, too, would like to add some entries to the archive (spoilers ahead). Let’s start slow with:

An Amish Murder (2013)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2234451/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Based on the novel Sworn to Silence by Linda Castillo, the film gives an account of the hunt for a serial killer in Ohio’s Amish Country. And of course at some point in the story the female police chief (played by Neve Campbell) is kidnapped by the killer to have some killing done on her.

I came across the flick by chance and only got stuck because I recognised the lead actress. What fully kindled my interest and made me read the book before watching any further was the use of Pennsylvania Dutch in several scenes (Dutch referring to “deutsch” in this case). A German myself, I found it both challenging and fascinating to listen to it.

The film is extremely tame, not to say lame, in comparison to the book. After all, it is rated TV-PG in the USA , whereas the novel is more of a The Silence of the Lambs clone. Campbell’s character gets chloroformed, tied up in an unconvincing way, tape-gagged and dragged across dirt into the killer’s lair.

AM01.jpgAM02.jpgAM03.jpgAM04.jpgAM05.jpg

I blurred out the evildoer in the pictures to hide the identity, for those of you interested in the story itself. At the time of this post, one could find the film in full length under its title on a popular video platform – or you do the right thing and spend a tenner on the far more rewarding book.

I have one or two more films in the pipeline, but not yet time to obtain some descent picture.

Being German, you may also be interested in a message I posted on page 19 (#375) of this thread about a 2013 German film called "Wild Land" in the U.S. and originally "In Einem Wilden Land." The movie was about the Germans who settled a large area of Texas around the towns of New Braunfels and Fredricksburg, Texas, and their relations, both hostile and romantic, to the Native Americans there.

Thanks for the hint, I also looked at it again. There are supposed to be many areas in the entire United States in which many German emigrants have settled.
 
The film ("In Einem Wilden Land") is made in the best traditions of German cinema about Indians. In the 1970s, the DEFA film studio in the GDR made a lot of such films. Even one of the great actors of those years (Gojko Mitic) is back in business ...

Sehr interessante! Amazing what one can learn on CF! I had to look into the German interest in Westerns and found several articles on the subject including these:



Of course the Wild West has been an enduring mythos in the U.S. I grew up on Westerns--TV serials, movies, books. There was Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Wagon Train and, literally, a million others. My favorite was "The Rifleman," starring Chuck Connors. I mention this only because in one episode The Rifleman was tied to a wagon wheel. He was bare chested, and he was sweating and writhing in the hot New Mexico sun. As a child, the scene made me very uncomfortable at the time; I realize now that it was because he was the wrong sex to be tied up and sweating and writhing like that.

I'm pleased to know that many Germans have been as enthusiastic about Westerns as I once was.

Occasionally Indians* would be treated with some nuance and sympathy, but as I recall, more often they were either seen as hate filled savages or faithful companions. That American Western icon, John Wayne, famously (or infamously) said about Indians in a Playboy interview in 1971:

“I don’t feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them, if that’s what you’re asking. Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.”

That was a very controversial statement at the time, but gives an indication of how many Americans thought (and still think!) about "Manifest Destiny," the attitude that was unlimbered at various times in American history to justify our western (and southern and northern) expansion.

1618323341619.png "American Progress" by John Gast. Columbia is leading settlers ever westward. Indians are scurrying ahead of her, and she is being followed by railroads, stagecoaches, ships and more settlers. My question is: What is keeping her tunic up over her left nipple???

I take it that the DDR was making political points about that very attitude in their movies. I'd love to take a look at one. I wonder if the evil imperialistic Cowboys ever tie up a beautiful Socialist Democratic Indian maiden and make her writhe and sweat in the hot sun? Or perhaps it was the Socialist Democratic Indians tying up a beautiful but colonialist white settler woman and burning her at the stake. No wonder they loved playing Cowboys and Indians with us Americans!


* From the FAQ page of the National Museum of the American Indian:

What is the correct terminology: American Indian, Indian, Native American, or Native?

All of these terms are acceptable. The consensus, however, is that whenever possible, Native people prefer to be called by their specific tribal name. In the United States, Native American has been widely used but is falling out of favor with some groups, and the terms American Indian or indigenous American are preferred by many Native people.

Of course, East German cinema viewed the American Indians as a people enslaved by the white colonialists. But many films were shot based on the drama of Fenimore Cooper and used of the original text. As always in the films, the proportions were respected. Bad whites (white wolves) vs. good whites. Bad Indians (Hurons) vs. good Indians. Naturally there has always been a noble lone hero (red or white).
It is best to look for films about "German" Indians in the filmography of Goiko Mitic. Chief Chingach-Guk of East German cinema.
In one of the films, the American songer Dean Reed, who lived in the GDR at that time, appears.

I have not seen an East German film about Indians similar to "Soldier Blue" 1970.


The audience for German films was children from socialist countries. Especially East Germany and the USSR.
 
I recently stumbled upon a movie that I'm really enthusiastic about. I haven't seen it yet; it won't be released in the U.S. until May 21. The title is "New Order," originally "Nuevo Orden." It's a Mexican-French movie by Mexican director Michel Franco. It won the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival, and it pretty much checks all my boxes, so I have very high hopes.

The plot involves an uprising by the lower class in Mexico, followed by a military take over. The story focuses on a young woman, Marianne, played by Naian Gonzalez Norvind, who is of a wealthy, elite family in Mexico City. She has just been married and her family is holding a party for her and the groom at their palatial residence. The party is invaded by the underclass and have-nots of the city, who rob, beat and murder some of the attendees. Marianne is not at the party at that time; she has left to seek aid for an old employee's wife who is sick and needs surgery. She is taken captive by military elements, and apparently held hostage along with many others.

Here is an excerpt from the review in "Variety:"

The story begins within the sphere of the family but is ruptured by the protests, and in the second half, with the world turned upside down, Franco ventures into completely unprecedented terrain. Politically speaking, this is the most incendiary part of the film, and by far the most unpleasant, as Marianne is captured by revolutionaries, abused and ransomed in a stretch that implies that the “new order” of the film’s title is even more corrupt than the last.

This is where the mercifully short film loses its way, descending into “Salò”-like nastiness — including but by no means limited to a scene of a detainee being sodomized with a cattle prod — as Franco shares his vision of human depravity. As in the attack on Marianne’s family, sound effects fill in the horrors the director withholds from view.



Here are some screencaps from trailers:

Another movie that shows promise but I couldn't find anywhere is "Pine Cove" made in 2017. Apparently two country girls have gone to an out of the way spot for a little "girl time." They are spotted by a couple of peckerwoods who offer to take their clothes for safekeeping unless one or both of the young ladies cares to take possession. One takes him up on the offer. She cuddles up to him and then pees on his leg. In disgust, he knocks her down. She tells him to fuck off. He throws her clothes in the water and the two men walk away.

Showed promise, I should have said, but the two men are obviously known to the women. It seems the dudes just wanted to hassle the ladies, and don't mean any particular harm. Shame on them.
