Such a frustrating disappointment
Powerful
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Fantastic!
I was unsure what to expect before watching this as there was a numbe for negative reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. The storyline has been done before but this film introduces a key modern day element, Social Media. I found the development of the characters good and the pace of the film kept me interested. I would certainly recommend watching this film.
The movie might worth a 5 but it's meaning makes it worth watching. It is kind of a psychological thriller that makes you think about humans and out instincts and behavior. The acting was pretty good and the plot good but small. It is for sure better than other horror movies but i recommend you see this alone at night.
Emotionally fragile and very, very lonely, a dog pound employee builds a cage to house the young woman he has been stalking in this psychological horror film with some surprising twists and turns. While the film occasionally lacks in the credibility department (would all dog pounds have such extensive catacombs?), it makes up for any plausibility shortfalls by crafting two well developed main characters with any intriguing power dynamic between them. Dominic Monaghan is perfectly cast as the socially awkward lead with ample scenes that humanise him (hugging a dog while it receives a lethal injection) to the point that he only ever seems misguided and not monstrous in his actions. As his victim, Ksenia Solo seems to have a very bland character at first, but from the moment she wakes up in the cage, our perceptions about her change by the minute. Clocking in at only around 90 minutes, the filmmakers could certainly have done more with characters' psychological tug-of-war. Either way though, this is not the typical captivity thriller that one might expect based on the title and promotional artwork. The film finishes on a memorable note too with it left up to us to consider whether the protagonist unexpectedly achieved his deepest desires or not. To state much more might ruin a fresh experience; suffice it to say, this is a film best entered with as few preconceptions as possible.
As you can surmise from the title and cover art, this is a story about a man, Seth (Dominic Monaghan) who keeps his unwilling precious, Holly (Ksenia Solo) in a cage. What is slightly different is that he doesn't torture her, he wants to "save her" from herself. The cage is located underneath an animal shelter where Seth works, but is close to being terminated. The second twist is that the captive appears to be crazier than her captor, and then there is the question of who is really in control.The film was good for what it was in a crowded genre of "B" films. Claire (Jennette McCurdy) added a depth to this genre you don't normally see, making the film more of a psychological thriller than a horror.Guide: F-word. Brief sex. No nudity.
