It would have been much more honest of the production company, After Dark Films, to say it was a thriller with slight torture porn inklings (very slight). Maybe, the folks at After Dark didn?t actually see the movie. What I saw was psychological in nature and dealt much more with assaults on the mind of those captive than it did with actual assaults on the bodies of those captive. Yes, there is some blood and some nasty gore but nothing like Saw or Hostel or even Touristas. It?s not a great movie but adequate. A solid B-movie endeavor. Fun, kind of stupid at times, pretty good acting by the luscious Elisha Cuthbert and the director, Roland Joffe imbued the entire film with a look that worked very well to be creepy and ominous. It moves fairly quickly, lags a bit in the middle and ends with a slightly predictable twist but really you don?t care at that point because, surprise, you?ve been entertained. Well, at least I was even though my hunger for gore was only slightly abated.

First off, I am a fan off cinema, regardless of genre. I especially enjoy B movies and this film looked to fiit the bill. The acting was ok, but the story line was exceptionally weak. The movie was easy to figure out from early on, with few, if any heart pounding scenes. To me, it almost felt as if the director was trying to rely on gore scenes to pull the movie through. Usually this type of movie injects some sort of humor, but the general tone was serious. In the end, this movie turned out to be one of those movies that elicits a "so-what" or "glad it's over" after spending hard earned money to be entertained. Marketing did a good job with the release of the trailor since it made this movie look fantastic, but what's new. Go see the movie, but you should lower your expectations!

It started out slow, but picked up and ended up to being a very scary, intriguing movie. I would recommend seeing it.

I didn?t really want to see this movie. I?m not much into the genre and frankly I was kind of angered by the billboards that got taken down. But there was not much else to go see if you?re not a Harry Potter fan. I was pleasantly, rather, unpleasantly surprised. This is good thriller. I loved Elisha Cuthbert. I thought she did a great job. I was plenty scared and truly worried for her. There is some pretty hot stuff between her and Daniel Gilles. Gilles has a chance to be another Hollywood heartthrob. I believed in her character and cared about what happened to her. It?s not at all what I expected from this movie. Though there are pretty gratuitous torture scenes most of the movie was internal and really tackled fear unlike I?ve seen in a movie before. It not anything like Hostel or Saw both of which I didn?t care for. I?d recommend this for anyone who wants a good thrill and doesn?t mind blood and gore.

Probably the worst movie this year. I'm sure I was dumber for having seen this movie.
