... grotesque scene. The other punishments are just as great...threatened with acid in the face or having to shoot her own dog or herself. I hated that dog anyway.

After what seems like a day of imprisonment, Jennifer realizes there is someone is a cell next to hers and she's not in this alone. Gary (Daniel Gillies) thinks he's been in his cell for at least three days. The two decide they'll find a way out together. Eventually Gary and Jen form a bond just in time to find out it's probably the last day they will be kept alive. This is where the film offers us a twist, all be it the most obvious one, but a twist none the less. Turns out Gary is one of Jennifer's two kidnappers. The other is Gary's rotund cater chef brother Ben (Pruitt Taylor Vince). The two brothers were sexually abused by their mother whom they murdered and now capture and torture women together as an odd brotherly bonding ritual.

Captivity has a great premise and it's gonna suck you in. I loved it. The torture games Jennifer is forced to play are a bit reminiscent of Saw, but the movie as a whole is interesting enough that you forgive its unoriginal nature. And the scene at the very end of the film brings us full circle to the mummified tube tortured dude at the beginning ...I'll let you decide if you find it a bit hack. So, yeah, it got me. Captivity sucked me in and for the most part it's a thrilling horror film, it certainly made me look over my shoulder as I sipped my next Appletini.

...back to beginning
