Review of Captivity (2007) by Deborah J — 22 Mar 2008

I was told that this was just another torture porn flick, but -- call me insensible -- it actually isn't. I mean it isn't very gory and it doesn't feature awful torture scenes the way Saw or Hostel do.

Is it a good thing ? Well, I suppose so, since I'm not a fan of that kind of scenes. The only problem is that for hardcore horror fans, this movie is too soft and for people like me, well it really has nothing new to offer. It's predictable right from the very beginning, it isn't particularly scary, the acting is average and the end pretty lame... Even the gorgeous Kim Bauer - I mean Elisha Cuthbert - isn't able to rescue this crappy film ! Avoid !
