Backtrack (AKA Catchfire)

Back in 1990, a year before she starred in The Silence of the Lambs, Jodie Foster appeared in Catchfire, a movie about a witness to a mob hit (Foster) being hunted by a mob hit man, played by Dennis Hopper, who also directed.

There was a mild barefoot bondage scene in the film, where a BF Foster is awakened from a sound sleep in bed by Hopper.

Hopper then proceeds to cuff Foster's wrists together in front of her.

Foster isn't bound any further than the handcuffs, though.

Foster and Hopper clashed while on the set, with Foster--not liking how things were going during a shower scene--calling "cut" to the crew at one point. Hopper made it clear to her that he was the director, and only he could call "cut."

The film was taken from Hopper and recut. Hopper disowned Catchfire. A director's cut, called Backtrack, was later released, and this is the version I got these vidcaps from. Hopper's director's cut of Backtrack should not be confused with the 2014 Backtrack (also known as Nazi Vengeance), which has a much better BF bondage scene (and there's even a THIRD film called Backtrack, released in 2015).

While Foster is never gagged, she is later hand-gagged in a nice, stylishly shot moment.

Dead In 3 Days Part One

Sabrina Reiter stars as Nina in Dead in 3 Days, an Austrian slasher movie that's very good in many ways.

Teenagers in a small town at the base of the Austrian mountains are being abducted. They are then tied up and weighted down, and then dumped like this in a very deep lake, where the weight added to their bound bodies insure they sink right to the bottom and drown.

It's very nasty. And the victims up to this point have all been boys. But now the killer has chosen Nina. She wakes up in the middle of the night to find and feed the cat.

She's barefoot, clad in just panties and a t-shirt.

And this is what she's wearing when the killer comes for her.

Among other things, the film has an intense hand gag scene where Nina is chloroformed. Just the fact that she's barefoot (and scantily clad) in this lengthy sequence leadng up to her abduction is already very nice. Hell, I could have just watched her walk around her house barefoot like this for the whole film's running time. But there's more--much, much more to come.

The Nun

Taissa Farmiga stars in The Nun, and sees her fair share of unholy shenanigans.

The unnerving Nun was a character who made her first appearence in The Conjuring 2. And she was actually a last minute addition to the film. The Nun became so popular she spawned her own film series. Personally, my favorite from the Conjuring series is Annabelle Comes Home.

While The Nun had nun (heh...heh) of any bondage scenes, there was a very nice section where Taissa Farmiga goes off on a barefoot snooping excursion.

Taissa Farmiga is the little sister of Vera Farmiga, who played Lorraine Warren in the main Conjuring films.

Taissa still gets a mighty impressive hand-gag for her snooping around.

The Collector Pt 2

Our tribute to the late great actor Terence Stamp continues with a look at his turn in The Collector.

Ferdy (Terence Stamp) is taking Miranda (Samantha Eggers) to go get washed up. He has her hands tied behind her back and was about to gag her, until she tells him that there's no need for that.

So he escorts her outside, to the part of his home where she can take a shower.

After taking a moment for Miranda to enjoy the breeze, Ferdy tries to move her onward--until Miranda starts screaming.

Which leads to this hand gag. I've only posted the first two scenes from this film just to be complete. My favorite scene from The Collector is coming up next. Keep it right here.

Farewell Terence Stamp Pt 1

We just lost the actor Terence Stamp. He's probably best known in pop culture as the original (and best) General Zod in the first two Christopher Reeve Superman films.

But some of us probably know Terence Stamp best for his role in The Collector, which was released in 1965. Stamp plays a meek bank clerk who has admired Samantha Eggar from afar--until the day he decides to grab her off of the streets of London.

You see, he already collects butterflies, so why not "collect" this beautiful woman, as well?

In other words, he's batshit crazy, and Stamp does a great job at playing him and his banal insanity.

After grabbing Eggar from off the street and driving her home in his van, Stamp brings her to her "room" and makes her comfortable.

One more creepy touch that Stamp does is straightening out Eggar's skirt before pulling the blankets over her. *Shudder* And I mean that literally, not just the streaming channel. More to come.

Santa Barbara

Kathy Shower stars in this episode of Santa Barbara from the 1980s. She's seen dressed in the appropriate outfit of the era.

Right before she gets grabbed from behind. Gotta watch what's behind those curtains!

She's later tied to a chair by her abductor, who tries questioning her about some soap opera stuff.

She gets hand gagged again once help arrives. She's rescued. Not much of her bondage is shown, but it's still a nice little scene with various stages of gagging, which you can see right here.

Project Wolf Hunting

In Project Wolf Hunting (Neukdaesanyang), Ji-hye Ahn plays a guard who's watching over a pair of women prisoners aboard a freighter that's headed to South Korea (the film is from that country).

The two women prisoners are chained up in a room aboard the ship.

But things change when they gain the upper hand and chain up Ji-hye Ahn.

Her foot wear is removed, leaving her barefoot, and she's gagged with her own balled-up socks.

I haven't seen this film beyond the clip that's done by Jakob 88, but, based on what I've seen I would really like to watch the whole thing. You can see the clip right here.

Vermist

Vermist was a Dutch crime series that was produced by Belgian broadcaster VT4 and Dutch production company Eyeworks.

In this episode, "Inez" (sea 5, ep 7), actress Charlotte Anne Bongaerts plays a woman who's been kidnapped by a crazed man.

He takes her out to the country in his RV. She's got her hands tied behind her back and is cleave-gagged.

When he removes her gag, she tries to scream, but is hand-gagged.

When he places a metal collar around her neck, attached to a heavy chain, she tries everything she can to break it.

Although he removes her gag, her captor leaves her hands tied behind her back. Bongaerts is barefoot throughout this very nice (and nicely long) scene, which you can see right here.
