Captivity
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.

Does exactly what it says on the tin, grabbing viewers unawares and keeping them in its thrall for an hour and a half of non-stop, heart-pounding exploitation kicks

Only for the faint hearted
For a horror in the torture genre it was pretty lacking in gore. Most of it is psychological torture which is disappointing for anyone looking to be freaked out... read more »

All kinds of absolute crap!!
Firstly, I’m a big fan of Horror, I love it.
But this just comes across as a studio hopping on the “torture porn” bandwagon.read more » - 1092522

AVPR: Aliens vs Predator � Requiem
- 14 Jan 2008
"Requiem" is right: this deadly sequel could kill off a horror franchise that goes back nearly three decades. As someone who grew up with the Alien series (hell, I don't mind telling you I misted up at Alien 4) it's depressing to see just how far the mighty have fallen. Course, as soon as they announced the first AVP flick, it was obvious the aliens had already lost the battle. Certainly in terms of prestige, it was game over - you can't mix it up with trash like the predators and retain even... Read more
