Stay

I'm sure if you're reading this you're one of us. You know, we love to scour through Prime hoping to find a worthwhile and sometimes even an excellent unknown film. Well this is just that. Excellent I thought. I agree with others that I'd like to have seen the actual story leading up to the imprisonment, but not a deal breaker by any means.

Brooke Devlin, whom I'd never seen before was fantastic. I'll admit it was difficult to suppress the fact that she is astonishingly gorgeous and just focus on her character. She made it much easier by portraying Claire so well. Her expressions, tone and mannerisms were exquisite. I really thought she was amazing and will be looking for her in other projects. By all means watch this movie. It's got many philosophical concepts that I won't go into. Watch and enjoy.

I couldn't get over not knowing where/how he saw her to know he had to have her, and how he captured her or lured her into his apartment in the first place and got the contraption on her neck. Had that been integregrated I may have developed enough empathy for either character to want to see the film through. Major plot hole that annoyed me and lost my interest. Shut if off after 15 minutes.

The premise is interesting. Can a kidnapper make his victim fall in love with him? Sadly, the film doesn't do much with it. Most of what goes on in the film is dreadfully dull. The stakes felt oddly low given the situation. It's clearly made on a budget so you just kind of have to accept some things. The acting is okay though. I liked the characters. Though they never really get developed. The story, especially the ending, is predictable. I wanted to like this one but there was so little here that was worthwhile. I just spent most of it bored. More needed to happen or the stakes needed to feel higher. It needed something that wasn't there. I wouldn't recommend it.

Although only shot in one location and minimal characters this low budget film impressed. Wish I could have seen more backstory, but still enjoyed the 90 minutes. The actors are definitely something to watch, their performance kept me "captivated." Thanks for this cool little indie film!

Longest stretch of nothing I've seen in a while. 93 minutes of my life I wish I had back. Don't waste your time
