Waking up in a dark room after being knocked unconscious in a car accident and her young son nowhere in sight, Jamie Taylor (Melissa George) realizes that she has been kidnapped. Her masked captor (Oded Fehr) informs her that if she ever hopes to see her son alive again, she must help his mysterious employers. However, they’re not looking to collect a ransom; instead, the man reveals that Jamie’s husband is secretly a brutal killer who recently stole millions from his bosses. The organization will stop at nothing to retrieve the missing money, and they think that their captive is the one person who can help them find it. Chained to a grate in a cold, dark room with her marriage upended, her son’s life in jeopardy, and no idea whom she can trust, Jamie must attempt to piece together clues from the life she thought she knew in order to escape this nightmare and save the lives of her beloved family. Set for DVD release June 30. Trailer and exclusive clip for this avaliable HERE. |

This started out sounding good and mysterious. But the more you read the more you realize that this may not be all that great really. Could be frankly a little dull.

Three years ago, this would've been a much better-sounding film, coming out right when the Torture Film genre was in full-swing and people actually liked them, for whatever reason, but now I don't see myself, or too many others, carrying too much about it.

I see this getting some pretty bad reviews as well, looks like a way worse Captivity.

That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it still sucked horribly. Two good traps, a creepy, atmospheric setting and the good finale chase through the house, but everything else wasn't worth mentioning.
But still, comparing it to that film isn't doing any of them any favors.

I liked Captivity a lot, good lead, great finale, great scene involving intestines. Good mystery. I liked a lot.

I thought the mystery utterly failed. When he walks out of the room and into the surveillance room with all the monitoring equipement, there was just nothing there. It seemed to think that there was something shocking about that, but I didn't even catch that it was supposed to be shocking until later, when I realized that it meant that scene to be the big shocking part but I just didn't even catch it.

Eh that is to petty to complain about, I liked it a ton, it is supposed to be way better then the original cut. Now that version sounds bad, oh and I liked the sand part.

Why am I getting the feeling that this was meant to be a thriller?

Looks like a crime thriller turned into a horror film. Well sorta.
