Funny Games


Naomi Watts stars in what's actually a remake of the movie Funny Games. She and her family are held hostage in their summer home by a pair of sadistic killers.


At one point in the film, she gets her ankles taped together (her wrists are already bound behind her) by one of the psychos. She's barefoot and clad in her underwear throughout her bondage.

  


Despite being taped hand and foot, she manages to hop over to her husband--who's untied but severely injured--in order for him to free her. But they're caught before she can be freed. 


Funny Games--both versions--is very brutal to watch. This clip, which you can see here, depicts hostages and their captors as being very tense and solemn, lacking the usual pulpy, "damsel in distress" vibe. Naomi Watts is fantastic in the overall film, and it's worth watching just for her performance alone.
