lin-34942 So we started watching this and right from the start taking a dog down just ruined the whole movie for us. That was so stupid for the writers to do that. We are dog lovers and have 3 and all I could do was think about through the whole movie. That was so NOT necessary! Booooo
sol- 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.
lora-jen A very very sad movie in the end IMO, quite frustrating and absolutely no justice, only depravity. Extremely messed up 'love story' with some great twists, not a movie where you can guess where its going from the beginning, but by the first third in you can predict what will happen. A movie to leave you disgusted and depressed. A physiological horror for sure, not the slasher kind, but far more disturbing. Another movie to show that with the desired looks, you can get away with anything. Is the main character able to get the outcome hes after? Well kinda. Can be slow moving, but the twists are from left field. Great acting.
Reno Rangan The last time I saw Dominic Monaghan was pretty impressive in 'The Millionaire Tour'. This film was not bad. But it kind of reminds other titles like 'Tusk', 'Eyes of my Mother' et cetera. Only thematically. The screenplay should have been improved by extending more dramatic events. At present, it was simple, though the twists were the saviours. Not the mind blowing twists, but for a small storyline like this, everything justified. I liked how film characters switched nature of their roles while story progressing. That was nicely designed characters for a thriller which added a bit of mystery flavour.The character Seth was really interesting one. Drawing a story out of him lacked depth in the later parts. Especially after the first twist revealed. The second half was unexpected, but also that's where the narration stared to fall off the track. One of the reasons was predictable. Though enjoyable film, until the finale. I thought it was overall a better film than I expected, but the end was not any good. Too cliché. You can easily spot they are interested in a sequel, so they kept it open. But closed conclusion would have made it a decent film.5/10
