Starting off well, it actually kept my attention until the end. Once I figured out the plot, I still liked it, which is not so common. Not a masterpiece though but much better than traditional splatter/horror movies. A suspense film with a low budget wrapped in a nice well-played package, reminiscent of "Sleeping with the enemy". Sometimes less is more and that is definitely the case with "Held". Good choice for both him and her.

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.

My wife and I must have a strange taste of movies when I read the extremely negative reviews for this one. We think just the opposite. Held is an entertaining thriller, and even if I figured out the mystery pretty quick it was still most enjoyable to watch. Director Travis Cluff did a good job with this one. He also plays the voice in Held. Jill Awbrey is not only the actress but also the writer. All those elements make it look like a low budget movie but the execution was good and you couldn't really see it was a low budget movie. I really don't get why people didn't enjoy this story, it turned out to be much better than I was expecting. People are so hard to please these days, not that I care. If you like something different, or if you enjoy psychological thrillers then give this one a shot, it's worth it.
