![]() When they arrive at his home town for a big celebration, a man's girlfriend is captured by his psychotic ex and tortured for stealing him away from her while he and his friends race to save her before it's too late. What did everyone think of this one? |

Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup? Some people are like slinkies: not good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one falls down the stairs. My review blog: http://donshorrormovieblog.blogspot.com/ | |

This one here is a rather curious thriller rather than an out-and-out horror effort. One of the main issues with this one is the really bland pacing, which has the abduction placed oddly later in the film than it should because it deals with the useless extraneous moments in the film where she's dealing with outside issues that have nothing to do with the main torture scenes. The majority of the scenes consist of either her attempting to get away only to be stopped without any kind of true punishment offered only to repeat the process again or his friends telling him to get on with his life, and it manages to plod along lifelessly instead of generating any interest. Rather than doing any kind of physical, damaging torture, it features only knock-outs or drugging and carries on in a series of lame parts that give off a thriller feel more than a true horror film, and the painful, agonizing moments of her trying to win him back or pining over a rejection don't help this one much. The finale does have some pretty decent moments, including the clever discovery of the kidnapping, some brutal confrontations down in the basement and a rousing conclusion, but it's all too claustrophobic and confining to really get where it could've gone. This is just too flawed and has too little right about it to really be of any importance. |

I like that the girlfriend is actually the biggest target (at least that's how it sounds in the description) instead of the usual 'crazy girl stalks the guy and the girlfriend thinks he's at fault until SHE is targeted at the end' sort of thing. |

It's kinda like 'Misery' actually, in the sense that she's held captive under the guise of healing a personal injury only for the deranged care-giving to account for the thrills here, and she's captured early on with most of the film being his search for her interrupted only by the occasional seduction attempt. There's barely any time here for her to go into that other mode, as it starts off with them attempting to be friends rather than thinking she's stalking him, and once she's captured and tied up does she attempt to stalk the guy which is all done without her knowledge so it's a little different but mostly just 'Misery' with inverted genders. |

A Nice build to the main characters, As we get to know characters and you will care for the characters (Well I did), After the good build up to the characters, then the movie really gets going and I was total hooked. I was actually shouting at the movie, I don't remember the last time I shouted at A movie, thats how much, I really enjoyed watching this movie. This movie has some really good scenes and one nasty scene, (some will think it a total ripoff Misery). This scene made me look away. The acting was great from Main 3, but office Billy Fletcher (You may know as officer Burke from Final Destination 2) his acting was not that good (and is character was pain in the a*s) also the ending, they tried to go for a shocking ending but it didn't work and it just fell flat. Also Shelby is one hell of an Evil Bitch (Mischa Barton, she did outstanding job on this movie). She was great. This movie will be compared to Mirsey as this could easily be passed as a sequel or even a remake of it. 6/10 |

Yeah, it's a remake of Misery. A lot of the same set-ups and same general storyline. |
