Jennifer is young, beautiful and famous. Everybody knows her name and her popularity brings her everything.

One mans jealousy lures Jennifer to her torture when she finds herself drugged, captured and held in an underground maze. Taken against her will, and subject to psychological punishment, she soon questions her sanity as her watchful tormentor pits her in numerous traps.

After struggling to keep her mind, she meets with Gary, another prisoner, and together they try their wits to escape from the madman behind everything....

Oh those good old days when torture. Porn was hip. Hostels 1 and 2, Cabin Fever, Turistas...., and I believe it came to a close with this movie.

How much of the film you can tolerate is how much you can stand Cuthbert, because she is the movie, everything revolves around her, but her character is a shallow person, so you cannot really sympathise with her.

She is subject to very intense light, made to wear lingerie, and given nutritious smoothies, before finding out a hunk is next to her.

It's not a very involving movie, and the twist can be seen from a mile off. In the end, we have the predictable struggle, and you know the dog will be safe, so it's just gore for gores sake, nothing else.

But it is the best film ever to feature Pruitt Taylor Vince in the bath....now that's scary.

As a Cuthbert- and sometimes-horror-movies fan this picture appeared to be obligatory to watch. I actually think the Elisha's acting is one of her best - that's why a +1 star review bonus ;) .

The movie itself could not cope with that. It is just too gross at times when less would have been more. Also the supposed-to-be thrilling scenes are just plain hectic. What is also a little ennerving is that it is always pretty darkish. Well, they are locked in a kind of basement, so this is realistic. On the other hand you saw movies where actors ran through the woods at night and the light was better.

Not being a particular fan of the actors/director or a collector, you might wanna consider simply borrowing the movie or look for a bargain.

A young beautiful model is drugged, kidnapped and subjected to harrowing torture in a cell of horrors some dark dreary place god knows where. Losing the will to live she is almost at the end of her tether, but her hopes are raised when she learns that a man is in the cell next door to her, can the pair of them escape this foul depraved place?

Captivity starts off promisingly, our protagonist is nicely introduced to us, we are then whisked to off to a dreadful place and subjected to some horrendous things, but once the novelty wears off the picture has no place to go but down hill. It's evident that the makers here felt that by plonking a sexy actress {Elisha Cuthbert} in some torture chamber, piling on the goo in the process, that that was going to make a winning formulaic film, it doesn't, and outside of some gross moments, one scene in particular almost had me emitting my recently digested dinner, it's poor and rather insulting. As poor old Elisha lurches from one dumb scenario to another you start to realise that the film is reliant on a twist to lift it above the mundane writing, but when it comes you will not only be not surprised, you will also feel very cheated. Poor fare all round here and it's hard to believe this is directed by the same man who gave us the emotional splendour that is The Killing Fields, shame on you Roland Joffé. 3/10 mainly for that one sequence, but even that was done better in a Vincent Price picture many years ago.

This 2007 horror thriller opens with the gruesome torture death of an unknown victim in a ‘Saw’ like gory manner. Once the titles conclude the film cuts to the main storyline. Jennifer Tree (Elisha Cuthbert) is the fashion model flavour of the season but along with her success comes a stalker who drugs and abducts her at a charity club event. She awakens in a cellar type room where her psychological and physical torture immediately begins. Without giving the script away, Jennifer is subjected various forms of torture and a recurring theme involves the use of Jennifer’ interview clips which give some insight into why she has been ‘selected’ but many of these clips show her to be a self centred and aloof, so we never really empathise with her character [lose a *].
From the write up I was expecting a ‘Hunger’ style film set in an enclosed small area, but through imaginative writing, the set moves from area to area so the ‘chillingly claustrophobic’ tag of the jacket reviews never takes hold. What does become apparent is the sense of futility at trying to escape. The film is meant to chronicle Jennifer’ descent into madness but I didn’t get any of that and the time scale of her incarceration seemed quite short. The end therefore did not impress, although the first alternate ending in the extras did explain this to some degree, but the end is a let down [lose another *].
Very much in the ‘Saw’ mould, this is well filmed with a decent audio and the acting was generally good, but somehow it just lacked overall bite. The first half hour flows well as it settles into Jennifer’ current career, covers her kidnapping and launches us into the start of her woes, but it soon starts to flag.
