Captive

The twist is not quite what you would expect, even if you're well trained in thrillers.

Acting in this one is quite good and I found the story to be intriguing and believable along with the acting makes this a pretty solid movie.

This movie would keep you on your tiptoes. It's interesting to watch, funny, emphatic, and has an unexpected ending. Very well filmed, some scenes I found it very strong and realistic, and the acting is top-notch.

It constantly kept me engaged, I had this feeling that I was constantly switching sides in terms of resonating with the main characters. Both main actors are great.

William Kircher and Tori Kostic (in her acting debut) provide us with great performances, a very special dynamic duo that for that alone is worth watching the movie. Both are the best of the film. The script, by Savvas Christou (also the director), is good enough to get to know and develop the two characters and reach the climax. It may be a simple story, but it is still excellent.

In an industry that relies on big action and special effects to hold "captive" an audience, this is a story that actually relies and delivers on drama and suspense and a story with twists and turns that keeps you shifting gears. I had no idea what to expect past the title and the beginning was a bit slow until it settled in on being captive at the house and that's where the real story unfolds. It kept me interested and in directions that I just didn't expect. I thought was story was original and interesting like older productions that relied on substance instead of window dressing. If you thrillers with mysterious turns, you'll enjoy this production. Two thumbs up. Well done.
