- ርልዪረApril 10, 2025Elisha Cuthbert was perfectly fine in the recent House of Wax (which was the same kind of role), but occasionally seems totally adrift here. This is the fault of the director (Roland Joffe - who was once a decent film-maker), but it's hard to single him out for criticism as every single aspect of this film seems to be just as lousy and half-arsed as the next. The look of the film, the story, the characters and the dialogue have no personality or life of their own and instead are clearly uninspired wholesale rip-offs of those found in the likes of the Hostel and Saw films and then reassembled into this dull, turgid, mess. If you want an example of an inept, unloved, souless, studio-funded zeitgeist cash-in flick then here it is. Avoid.
- Joe FinsternisNovember 5, 2026Let's get it out of the way, this is a Saw cash-in. And it's trying way too hard to shock you. There are a couple of scenes that are effective, the one with the tooth gets me every time, but the one with the video tape is just...edgelord territory. At the same time, Captivity is one of the funniest comedies I've ever seen, the bit with the dog right down to the reveal with the note had me falling over in my seat as well as the ridiculous sand thing, oh yeah I'm sure you're going to kill the main character off this early. The laugh factor alone gets five creepy kidnapping clowns out of five 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
