Rating: C- -- [Joffe] brings an artful video-grunge look, and not much else, to this Saw clone. Full Review

Rating: 0/4 -- What a loathsome, reckless and sickening glimpse into madness this is. Full Review

Rating: 0/4 -- Rarely have I found myself so uncomfortable viewing anything over such an extended period of time. There's nothing redeemable here. It's not tense or scary; it's just demented. Full Review

It's not scary because not one second is believable. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Joffé's interest clearly lies in society's obsession with celebrity rather than the nuances of the genre, but Cohen's precision script succeeds in keeping him on the terror track. Full Review

Little more than a grungy-looking TV movie of the week with some pointless gore tossed in. Full Review

Rating: 1/4 -- The real horror here is how anyone, especially a two-time Oscar nominated director, could be this hard up for work. Full Review

Product Description:

Another unsettling contribution to the torture genre spawned by films like SAW and HOSTEL, CAPTIVITY treads similar terrain while bringing something new to the table. Elisha Cuthbert (THE GIRL NEXT DOOR) is Jennifer, a celebrated runway model who leads a relatively lonely life. One night, after being stood up at a club, she's drugged and wakes up much later in an intricately constructed dungeon. The captor is a mysterious presence who has clearly done this before. As time goes on, the taunting and torture reach nearly unbearable proportions. But before she gives up all hope, Jennifer discovers Gary (Daniel Gillies), another victim, who is determined to break them both out of their horrific prison.

A shocking departure for director Roland Joffe, who is best known for helming the 1980s classics THE MISSION and THE KILLING FIELDS, CAPTIVITY is more recognizable as the work of co-screenwriter Larry Cohen (IT'S ALIVE, MANIAC COP, CELLULAR). Stylish and brutal, and featuring another haunting score from Marco Beltrami, CAPTIVITY features a mid-film plot twist that takes the picture to a whole new level.
