About 15 - 20 years ago i walked in the living room and my parents were watchinga horror movie (or snuff, please dotnlet it be snuff). Anyway the scene i saw before walking out because it was just too bizarre was A girl was tied to a tree or a cross or something , with her arms extended and her blouse ripped open, they had drawn a Red dot under each of her breasts and then they used som kind of hooks to pick her up. Very wierd and cant recall anything else cause i was about 10 at the time. Cheers ---

The only thing that comes to mind is “A Man Called Horse”. In this movie a guy was picked up by blades stuck through his chest. Maybe it was one of the sequels?

nope not that one, my memory is pretty foggy on this maybe she was just hanging from the hooks rather than picked up. If you have seen the film you will prolly know it straight away. More info is that it was like a tribe that was doing it to a white woman, a shaman of some sort i would guess. Please remember I was very young when I saw this so my memory of it isnt exactly vivid. ---

Dude, I hope your parents started a therapy fund for you. And I hope you spent the rest of your childhood with a foster family. ---

I think the film you’re thinking of is [Cannibal Ferox](http://imdb.com/title/tt0082700/) In it a group of young people are tortured by a tribe, there are two girls and one is hung up on hooks by her breasts. I seem to recall a guy having his head clamped in a vice and the top half of his head sliced off as well. :eek: Before you all think I’m some sort of horror fanatic, let me say that I watched some kind of programme like “100 most gross films ever” on Channel 4 recently and this came in pretty high (Top Ten I think!) Hope this is the one you’re looking for! ---

Uh, if you do a Google Image Search on that title, with safe search off, you’ll see stills from the movie, including possibly that scene, if you really insist on having your memory jogged. I think it goes without saying that they are NSFW. ---

Its called “Woman from Deep River” aka “Cannibal Ferox”, followup to the equally ghastly “Man From Deep River” ---

Hijack, but I suppose it’s all right since the question was answered – This made me think of a movie my mom and my aunt were watching when I was small. Well, I assume it was a movie and not one of my crazy memory hallucinations. I thought it starred Delta Burke, but I don’t see anything on IMDb that sounds like it. I remember a tribe of “exotic peoples” who had captured the White City Woman. There was a bonfire and her arms were cut off. She managed to live, though, because there’s a shot later of her in the hospital. ---

Good God, what have people shown to their children? All these years I’ve been quickly turning off even relatively mild PG-13 stuff, and your parents are showing you torture movies? ---

First movie I saw was “The Excorcist”. I was 10 at the time. It took me a week before I could sleep with the light off. Since then I have spend my puberty as a horror-freak. Nowadays I only like the really good ones. ---
