I was plesantly surprised by this story of imprisonment with semi-political subtext.
Asides from the usage of the word "creepy" it didn't really do the little things that annoy me in horror/thrillers but even then they sort of justified it.
I can't tell you I loved this movie but refreshingly it's more of a case that they made it too well! Be warned how the characters in this will tick you off. It brings to mind the quote by Crystal Eastman "so much oppression takes the form of protection".
I think I kept watching just because I wanted a pay off to all the bullying by people who think they're in the right morally.
A lot of this just feels like torture porn and not in a great way. But that's kind of balanced out by the aforementioned features and it serves a function to help you follow the protagonists emotional journey. She was a bland and fairly passive protagonist (sort of the point really) but it's not really about her, it's about the situation.
More anger enducing than scary, without going into spoilers, this did not end, repeat NOT end in a way that left me feeling insulted or taken for a ride. There's several respectable surprises along the way too.
My final remark is that this is above average and I hope there are people who will appreciate this in they way I couldn't quite.

This has me interested from the get-go. I must admit I'm not usually a fan of these spooky bedroom type situations, but this is far from your bedroom goes bump in the night movie.
This could have been a little more intense, and in-depth, as far as story line goes, but the story that they have given you i think is well done, well acted and over all quite a good watch.
I wouldn't say this is a horror, at all, but it makes for a good thriller.

I've always have more respect with film that has low budget and did the best they could. It's clear that this film has low budget, and manage to make the most of it, that being said it has an unknown cast, average acting and average production. As of the story, the concept is decent. But it's a bit too draggy with little to no plot development. There are also some dull and dumb moment. The horror thriller is good, considering... . The twist is not jaw dropping, but it's pretty good. All and All, it's watchable but don't get too hyped up.
I expected this to be horrible; but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
This seems like a more original story rather than something that's been done over and over again (poorly).
It had some dull moments but overall I enjoyed it.

Not a great movie by any stretch. But a clever commentary on the strict conformist society that we now reside in whether it intends to comment on that or not. I liked the twilight zone (60's) ending.
