Review of Chained (2012) by Amy W — 30 Sep 2012

Itâ(TM)s a shame Jennifer Lynchâ(TM)s terrifying family drama did not receive a theatrical release. Often, the horror genre is dominated by male directors and writers who spiral out of control with the gore, nipples, and Mickey Mouse plotlines that are packaged to overpriced ticket sales.

Lynch uses the absence of violence (there are some tasteful spats of blood throughout and one painful looking needle stitch scene) to propel the story about family - what a family is & how they manifest in our later adult lives.

Chained exposes the dark side of patriarchy with a side of abusive nature vs nurture and doesnâ(TM)t let go until its shocking conclusion. This film comes out on dvd tomorrow, so check out the trailer below and see for yourself why I gave it 5 stars.
