The Hillside Strangler

In The Hillside Strangler, a 2004 movie based on a real-life crime case, actress Aimee Brooks shows up at a trim shop in her car.

Unfortunately for her, the two guys who work there turn out to be a pair of serial killers who abduct her. When we next see her, she's trussed up naked in a hogtie on a bed in their house.

The camera slowly pans down the side of her bound body, making this an even better scene than it already is (I'm referring to this fictional presentation featuring this actress, of course).

And it's also interesting in how this scene also shows that there was no body double in use here; this was all the actress.

Intense tie up scenes like this make me think that actresses should receive "bondage pay," which goes above and beyond their regular salary--sort of like how actors will sometimes get stunt pay if they do a stunt.

Unfortunately, Brooks's character does not survive her encounter with the psychos. The real life killers were later brought to justice.
