I bought this, along with a few other so-called 'torture porn' horror films, after reading reviews of how disgusting it was on various sites. What can I say - I like to be shocked.
Captivity had some promise from the outset. The first half an hour was fairly 'enjoyable', although at no point did I cringe in horror at any of the scenes. They were reasonably tame, but they did leave me feeling tense, wondering what would finally become of young Elisha.
Sadly, about half way into the film, this tension all but dissipated. The film took a rather daft twist, and, rather than being in the Hostel-style which I had hoped for, it ended up being more like a 'Scream' film.
Overall, this wasn't a terrible film, but I just had hopes of it being more horrific than it was, and unfortunately it tailed off into a disappointing climax. I won't be watching it again, nor will I advise friends to bother with it!

I thought this was a good 'edge of your seat' thriller/horror, with more twists than a bag of lemons. It may not be to the taste of those who enjoy hard core horror - but there was a good plot and you never quite knew which way it was going to turn. I'm not saying much more about it because to reveal the story would give the game away. I think that Elisha Cuthbert is a first rate actress and she doesn't disappoint here. If you are looking for a thriller that has horror elements, rather that just gruesome horror - you will enjoy this.
Format:Blu-ray
This movie does indeed have a hint of saw and hostel going on but is not quite as good as either of those movies, it does have a few good original ideas though too! It maybe a little lame now compared to some later films that have done it better but still worth checking out at a cheap price. Elisha Cuthbert is a really nice actress and plays her part well, if your into horror thrillers then you will probably enjoy it.

Nothing really wrong with it, and certainly captured my attention
Yes I saw the twist coming long before it was shown to us, it was a little on the obvious side, but there is still plenty of suspense and mystery to keep you engaged. Read more

Elisha Cuthbert couldn't save the movie
