Captive to this movie for 85 minutes
Added 11/10/2009
I'm not a big fan of torture cinema, especially if the audience are the ones being tortured. This movie was so terrible I had to fight to sit all the way through it. Ms Cuthbert is easy on the eyes, but her character was so shallow she was hard to identify with. And there wasn't really a whole lot done to her. When the male captive is first brought in its easy to see where things are going, and the big reveal is a letdown. A better movie, with better acting, is BROKEN.

Captivity captures a young female involved in a bloody mess of a bad time.
The movie is about a young woman who gets kidnapped and taken to a house where someone who loves to torture young women is waiting in the shadows and constantly finds new ways to torture.
The guy is SO twisted that, in one scene, he takes the ears and eyeballs of a previous victim, puts them in a blender, and forces the young girl to drink a glass of fresh blood. Whether the blood tasted good or not, well, who knows.
Very interesting how every single time the girl tried to escape from the room she was trapped in, there was something carefully designed in the room preventing the girl from making a clean exit.
After a while she finds out that the room next to hers has a guy living in it, who supposedly is another victim. Yeah right...
You can't go in expecting a believable story because the odds of a room being set up perfectly for the ultimate torture story is almost impossible. I mean, come on, it's not possible most of the things that happened in the movie could ever really happen because it would require lots of perfect timing on the part of the victim. Everything was set up VERY conveniently for the young girl for storyline purposes.
There's lots of blood, violence, and excitement for all you horror lovers out there in Captivity. Great movie.

Expectedly terrible.
Added 6/30/2009
I expected this movie to be terrible, and it met my expectations. I imagine this is how the idea was pitched to the producer: "It's 'Saw' meets 'Hostel' with a little bit of 'Dexter' thrown in." The movie manages to borrow heavily--and poorly--from the 'Saw' and 'Hostel' franchises and blatantly steals--again poorly--from 'Dexter.'
This movie is so terrible that I honestly believe in the years/decades to come it will be seen as the film that killed the current horror trend. The horror genre is one that comes in and out of fashion with the general movie-going public and I believe this film might just be responsible for ending the most recent movement just as 'Saw' can be said to have sparked it. It's a true trend-killer; the film is so bad that it literally casts a bad light on the entire genre--that bad. It will be a few years before the next horror trend is kicked off and my guess is that the genre will go in a different direction from the extreme violence/gore/torture trajectory typified in films such as 'Saw,' 'Wolf Creek' and 'Hostel' which dominated the 2004-2007 horror landscape.
Don't get me wrong: I am not knocking the aforementioned trend. I am merely arguing that this film is so terrible that it destroyed the trend by showing everyone just how bad the trend could be if taken to its logical extreme. 'Touristas' and 'Hostel 2' also did their part in that respect, too; this dreck just happened to be the straw the broke the camel's back.

No Match For 'Saw' Or 'Hostel'

What is 'Killing Fields' director Roland Joffe doing throwing his hat in the torture porn ring? In the 'making of', he's convinced he's created a serious examination of the captor/captive dynamic. Any serious analysis takes a backseat to scenes of gore and torture. Jennifer Tree (Elisha Cuthbert) is a fashion model who gets kidnapped after a charity event. She awakes in a dark room and it doesn't take long for her torture to begin. This ranges from psychological (being buried alive in sand, thinking her skin is melting during a shower of acid rain) to physical (being fed a shake consisting of ears and eyeballs, and having her annoying dog exploding all over here). The film is a weak imitation of 'Saw'. The only glimpses we get of Jennifer are from interviews shown in flashbacks. She comes off as a spoiled blond so we don't really care about her. The plot takes a turn for the worst when Joffe introduces us to another captive named Gary (Daniel Gillies). Against all odds and logic him and Jennifer fall in love and hook up. The sex scene comes after Gary has just had his teeth yanked out with a pliers. If you had just endured that would your immediate concern be getting laid? Naturally Gary isn't who Jennifer thinks he is and the last part of the movie finds her learning his true identity. This was the only part of the movie that was mildly entertaining. My movie rule is that no matter how weak things start, if that last half hour is strong enough to make you rethink what came before it, than it's not a total failure. That's how I rank 'Captivity'.
