The Exorcism of Emily Rose

The Exorcism of Emily Rose was directed by Scott Derrickson, who would go on to direct the first Doctor Strange film, The Gorge, Black Phone 1&2, and my personal favorite: Sinister (Sinister 2 wasn't directed by Derrickson).

But Emily Rose has a lot going for it. It's an intensely scary horror film that's also very cerebral.

Jennifer Carpenter, best known from Dexter, stars as Emily, a young woman who is possessed by a demon.

Carpenter gives a great performance here, and she goes barefoot for a good chunk of the film.

And there are also the required shots of the possessed Jennifer tied to the head of her bed.

But it's still a very scary film. Don't put off watching it until Halloween.

AMW Car Trunk

These were vidcaps that I made from an episode of America's Most Wanted. It was a true crime series that tried to track down wanted criminals who were still on the run.

They re-created the crimes with actors. In this case, a woman is abducted and tied up and gagged on screen before being placed in the trunk of her car.

A nice moment for me is when her bare feet are tied up on screen.

One of my favorite barefoot bondage scenes right here.

Back in the day I would just record episodes of AMW. I wouldn't even watch them live, just record them first. Then I would scan the tape later, looking for scenes. In this case, I got lucky.

The woman in this scene survives her ordeal. I wouldn't have used these 'caps (they originally appeared on my old website)if she hadn't. I think I still have the actual scene somewhere, transferred to a DVD, but I'm still digging around for it. If I find it, I'll post a link to it here.

I Know My Ropes!

You think tying up beautiful young women who're taken hostage for ransom is an easy job? No so in my latest Poser picture. Check it out right here. Note: The picture I used here is from An Affair To Die For. Happy April!

Unicornland

Unicornland was a web series that was posted (aired?) back in 2017. Episode seven is titled "Bondage". Can you guess what it's about?

After a divorce, New Yorker Annie (Laura Ramadei), decides to do some experimentation. And so she gets herself tied up in her underwear by Masha (Charity Schubert).

Annie is already getting tied up when we first come onto the scene. But then Masha throws a ball gag in the mix.

Annie is barefoot, but her feet are not tied. That doesn't matter, because this is still a wonderful scene.

And the ropework on Annie is very well done, too. You can see this right here.

Descendant Pt2

Katherine Heigl has two roles in Descendant (2003): first in a very brief (and gory) scene at the beginning of the film where she is stabbed to death in her own bedroom back in the 1800s. I don't have any pictures of that because it's too quick, the shots are awful, and it ends very violently and bloody.

But later in the film, Heigl's 21st century version of her character gets tied down to her bed.

Barefoot, she's clad in just a white nightgown and is gagged with tape.

She's menaced by a guy, but he's actually possessed, or something. It has something to do with Edgar Allan Poe, I think. As I mentioned in part one, Descendant is just not a very good movie.

But the barefoot bondage scenes, both of them, are great. These scenes make the movie worth seeking. Just make sure you look for the 2003 version of Descendant. There's a 2025 film with the same name.

And Katherine's character also survives her ordeal. Nice.

Descendant Pt1

Descendant was a horror film that was released in 2003. It wasn't very good, overall. But it had some superb barefoot bondage scenes. The first is with Whitney Dylan, who appears here as the victim of a possessed serial killer.

Having been captured straight out of bed, she's still barefoot and scantily clad as the killer restrains her in an elaborate bit of bondage.

And even after she's tied, he still keeps wrapping her up with tape, mummy-style.

It's a good scene, bondage-wise, with plenty of coverage (both literally, like on Dylan's body, as well as coverage of the scene overall).

As I've said, there's plenty of detail on display, here.

And Dylan is even rescued at the end, too. Stayed tuned for more.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a wonderous martial arts/fantasy with some outstanding action scenes. It was a superb, A-list production through and through.

That's why it was a (pleasant) shock to me to see actress Zhang Ziyi get captured by the (somewhat) bad guy and is tied up hand and foot.

And she's also barefoot throughout her bondage, making this a REALLY nice scene.

There's a sex scene that follows, during which she is still bound.

An excellent BF bondage scene in a great movie overall.
