Shocking! & not in a good way.

Whoever wrote this must have broke their pen & scribbled the script with some crayons. A woman held hostage in some woods (handily lit up at night with added smoke machine effects) by a nutter who seems about as scary as Mr Bean.

There are some brutal scenes but they are more screw your face up than turn the lights back on. The pace is slow & I've seen better acting in porn movies. I don't get the Saw comparison either. The only task I saw her undertaking was how to keep his garden filled with some nice veg. No, really!

Dull all the way, the only good bit is near the end where she beats his head in with a pipe, which by the end you'll want to do to the entire cast & crew for wasting your time. Rubbish!

The tension never lets up in this brilliantly atmospheric and chilling movie. The writing is tight and the low-budget grittiness of the production seems to add to the viewer's sense of the victim's ordeal.

Overall, if you like a disturbing yet intelligent watch with a dollop of gore and no hope of a happy ending then this is for you.
