This is my first review, but I thought I owed it to anyone planning on watching this terrible movie. Firstly, it is just so ridiculously unbelievable it hurt. I can't count how many times I rolled my eyes. They decide to open with their main actress drinking in a bar yet she looks maybe 17, a little contrived. The behaviour of the detective was so unprofessional it was unrealistic to think that they'd be treating a victim that way. Not to mention how painful his acting was. I'm not sure if it's just me, but the main actress' voice just drove me nuts. Then we get to where she's held prisoner in her captor's basement. Not once does she ever try to escape, this makes for a painfully slow dragging experience. She had a perfectly good opportunity to jab him with the sedative when he undid her chains, yet she did nothing (even though she's being chained up and being forced to wear a diaper...) This seemed highly unbelievable. We're supposed to believe that she was held captive for 5 months, yet they never show any progression of time or character development. The ending of course was also disappointing. After discovering he's a murderous psychopath, nothing happens with this information... I expected her to go back to the farm and save the last victim's life, but that would be asking too much. I had to watch to the end because I had an inkling of hope that it would get better, but I was wrong!

Utter crap
That's about it. Cool idea and the lead woman is great. Besides that it's trash. Utter garbage

This is not an exceptional film
- however, this also far from bad.
The drawbacks on this film are:
the horrid soundtrack which keep playing non-stop - and the bad choice of music as well
the poor lighting
bad editing
bad voice syncing
lack of camera angles
lack of intenseity
lack of fear from the very beginning
A really good cast - a decent budget, some decent camera work, a far better sound track, some intense music which brings out the story and a little more thought put into this - as well as another rewrite or two on the script to bring it up a bit would have made this much more interesting.
This had a small budget and some close to new beginners for it's crew and cast - and while it's not horrid, it's not great either.
There is plenty of potential here - but is was passed on for something that is just watchable - but nothing special.
I easily would have developed this into a much tighter intense story - with some fear from the very beginning.
There was no fear or anxiety and there was no depth - and there should have been plenty.
Depth, some nice camera work, better editing and some intense mystery - as well as some mystery and a backing soundtrack that isn't nerve-racking would have made this into a really cool movie.
Even with the two leads, they weren't bad - but in the wrong hands with the low budget, they missed the opportunity to shine.
