Synopsis

Applying his computerlike mind to the subject of dating, transplanted British mathematician David Grant (Tom Broadwell) searches all of Montreal for the perfectly compatible woman. But when he finds her (Caroline Brassard), Grant goes one step further and kidnaps her. Stealing a person's heart is one thing, but holding someone hostage based merely on statistical data seems like the antithesis of romance.

Lance Michel Congratulations to Dominique. Excellent writing and direction. Very believable. Judging by the comments on Youtube, this movie apparently strikes up some mixed feelings about the premise. Caroline Brassard plays a very convincing role as a kidnapped, fiercely independent that is probably too independent for her own good. Love the way this story unravels!
a t I read in the trivia section that the script was written in 2 days, which becomes deathlessly obvious in the first 15 minutes. Of the two leads only one, the female, shows any ability and emotional range. The actor playing David is dire - he delivers his lines in a wooden Manchunian monotone, making his co-star work extra hard to lift the film above the level of film-school graduation piece.The idea for the film is fairly standard misogynist fare - independent career woman is kidnapped by an apparent genius-level psychopath, who (gasp) knows just what's best for the liddle lady, keeping her captive in an attempt to make her fall in love with him. This means engaging in a series of painstakingly awkward "dates" designed to challenge her preconception of what she expects in a partner and result in true L-O-V-E. As these dates seem to mainly involve forcing his captive into excruciating dinners followed by fully- clothed shared baths and throwing popcorn at each other, in between tying her to a chair, one rather wonders what sort of eye-swivelling, sticky-palmed loons the poor woman was used too. Before we know it, our heroine (in a desperate attempt to push the plot to any sort of conclusion me-thinks) has submitted to her captor in a spot of rapey foreplay and, in a twist that I can't quite remember as I was losing the power of sight and hearing by then, declares undying love for Mr Monotone. One extra ridiculo-twist completes 1 hour 20 minutes of utter nonsense. I've only given it 3 stars as the female lead was good and had nice eyebrows.
Rox73 Here's a plot that has been covered a few times over the years - Stockholm syndrome. As creepy as the guy is (he really did his homework in stalking her before kidnapping her), I eventually found myself rooting for him over the course of the movie. And at the same time, right now, right after I finished watching it, I feel ashamed of myself for falling into the all too obvious trap. I don't know what to make of it.... maybe I should see a therapist. But the point is that this low budget movie, these first time actors and first time director (if I understand correctly) kept me glued to the screen the whole time. And I get easily bored with movies if they don't hold my interest, especially in the beginning.Great job! p.s. I friggin' hated 50 Shades of Grey.
groupgirl4 I saw Twisted Seduction at the Fantasial film festival in Montreal and absolutely LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT! I did not know what to expect from it, I thought it was going to be a scary movie but it turned out to be somewhat romantic. I went to see it with my girlfriends and we totally got into it. It started a bit slow, but then it got SO GOOD. The acting was strong, the dialogues very intelligent and realistic. The director did a good job to make the story believable. It was his first film. He was there with the actor and answered few questions after the film It was his first film. I can't wait to see more of his films.The ending was totally unexpected! One word to describe this film... ENTERTAINING!
