Well I thought I had four new clips to post, but there are actually just three, and two of them are different edits of the same scene in the movie Agora. The fourth was a member request I received (several in fact) for a clip from a 2009 IFC movie titled In Her Skin, a true story about a 15-year old Australian girl who goes missing. It aired a few times on Starz last month.
Technically, the actress playing the girl is 28, but even if one takes this into account while appreciating the fetish aspect of the otherwise beautifully graphic strangling, the fact remains that the victim in the scene is a minor. After wrestling with the moral issue of featuring a clip in which the victim is a minor, I finally decided I'm too uncomfortable with the idea to honor the request. I'm happy to fill just about any request I can get my hands on, but even I have limits, and that scene crossed a big one.
On that note, new this week are clips from the following:
Strangling: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Member Request)
Suffocation: Agora (Member Request)
The following title has had its old MPEG replaced with a new WMV:
Strangling: Psycho IV: The Beginning
