Really, really enjoyed this - excellent low-fi production that makes an asset out of its budgetary constraints. This is a taut thriller that grips throughout, maintaining the tension and then sticking the landing via a series of third act twists. Solid cast - particularly Mirren Mack (from the excellent Sex Education) as Carla, who is very convincing in a complex part - and good pacing kept me intrigued, invested and guessing throughout. Really enjoyed the score and clever use of handheld and security camera footage to build atmosphere - the intensity was maintained throughout. Highly recommended.
It was ok ! I would not recommend it to anyone .
Unfortunately i could not stop focusing on the inconsistencies.. hills and valleys throughout Very rushed at the end .
What i found bizzare was anyone who is starved and locked up for a week would not look as good as she lookesd when meeting her supposed mum , she looked decent , when only 5 minutes before she was dying.
The Estate agent was sporadic and then no show for ages , then just seemed to pop up at the end at the right time , same with her real mum. Felt gimmicky, i actually laughed .
On a positive note the girl was a very good actress, dad played his part well ,

This was gripping from start to finish. The plot was tense and the audience teased with clues throughout. I felt it could have gone a number of different directions which left me keen to get to the end and the big reveal. Whilst the end was quick it was satisfying and rewarding. I would highly recommend. An afternoon well spent.
The acting was brilliant especially the father and daughter who both gave brilliant performances in my opinion.
The only slight negative was that it was quite dark (colour-wise) but in a way that was in keeping with the plot and surroundings. I see in the comments above complaints about the filming but I felt this added to the suspense.
All in all I really enjoyed it.

This film had me guessing the whole way through! I loved Carla's character and right from the outset I was instantly hooked on her plight, routing for her at every twist and turn. We were running through the hallways right with her, not knowing who to trust. The acting was superb and I thought the script was brilliantly written. I thought the surveillance cameras were a great touch and worked well to increase the overall tension. The ending was really moving, especially as Carla took control which had me cheering in my seat. Don did a great job at flipping from caring father to unhinged and unpredictable. Really enjoyed it! Definitely would recommend!
Really enjoyed the tight suspense in this clever story...the acting was good and casting spot on..all set within the house which seemed nicely claustrophobic tying in with the drama..
There is a fair amount of texting which adds a modern twist and the camera travels round with the protagonists keeping up the close quarters of the story...very little colour but her attachment to her rose themed curtains gave a nice touch to her confinement.
The father was gruff and at times intimidating but it was obvious he also cared deeply for her but had just lost the plot!
Would definitely recommend viewing.
