Held

This film is actually not as bad as some might think. If you understand the main point(s) of the film, it makes sense from that perspective.

This film isn't just about a married couple being trapped indoors over a weekend. There's an agenda and this takes life's most common problems with marriage/relationships and places it at the center. Of course the film also needs to include small elements of suspense throughout to keep it interesting.

...and then it takes an unexpected turn you don't see coming - controlled gratification.

It starts off well, real genuine suspense, But crashes with the plot twist.

Cinematography and visuals are really beautiful for a trapped in the house movie,

The actors play their part well but the idea could have been improvised.

I genuinely think this would have been a much better production if the Writer hadn't also taken the lead acting role - It would have been a lot believable and added more to the production if there had been another female lead. A failed actress writing, or a failed writer acting ... ?

I just felt it could have been so much more ... And i need to stay away from Productions where the writer is also a lead actor.

Enjoyed watching this film from the guys at TREMENDUM pics as have enjoyed their other films as well! Love how this was filmed and the sound... fun wild storyline that has a crazy reveal at the end. Very horrific married couples film to say the least haha.

Somewhere around the hour mark it becomes apparent what's about to be revealed and it's very on the nose about it, as is the case with most agent pushing movies nowadays. Too bad, because it could've been a decent horror drama about the complexities of marriage, but the script lacks subtlety and opts for familiar tropes.
