    Be aware of fake reviews

    As you can see this one is full of fake reviews and not only are they fake they're trying to trick you into thinking there legit! Don't be fooled people anyone giving this film more than a 3 Star rating either know someone on the film or they are getting paid to fake it..i couldn't sit through the entire movie i would've probably stuck a gun in my mouth but that's just my opinion and it's an honest one too..

    Waste of time

    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

    Actors pull together this low budget film

    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!

    Even though a lot if this was predictable if you've seen a lot of movies, I was riveted.

    I've seen my fair share of "girl captive" movies, and much of this was predictable (not all of it). However, the actors were so good, I couldn't take my eyes off of the film. That was also due to its thriller, "escape," angle, of course. You'll miss a lot if you look away. MISSING-- I wanted to KNOW each of these characters as people a lot more. We learn almost nothing. BERLIN SYNDROME was an excellent, bigger budget film that did this well. However, considering this was a low budget indie--I was impressed.

    Dull

    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.

    • Trivia
      Filmed over only 7 days as a no-budget feature. The director has been quoted as saying this feature "...was an exercise in simplicity, we didn't have a lot but we wanted to prove that this team could create something compelling with minimal funds. If you can't make something with a micro budget, you don't deserve a real budget."
    • Goofs
      When William is confronting Claire after chaining her to the sink in the bathroom, a large shadow clearly moves against the wall behind William, even though both of them are still, and there are no curtains that could be blowing to cause it.
