Roland Joffé creates a visually interesting and aurally unsettling vibe, and the story from B-movie maestro Larry Cohen keeps it simple.

Roland Joffé brings an artful video-grunge look, and not much else, to this "Saw" clone.

Watched this movie so much when I was a kid ;-)
I remember it messed with my psyche so much when I watched it the first time I felt like the main character. The ending of this film is a sinister plot twist.

Seen worse, seen better, either way it kept me entertained for an hour or so. The acting was very good for this sort of movie which is why I've given it such a positive score. Quite liked the twist as well.

The movie has been thoroughly eclipsed by "Captivity" the marketing.

Thoroughly irritating little film.

A wan, derivative entry in the torture-porn cycle.

It's the movie business equivalent of encountering someone you once knew begging for money on the street.

If there is another challenger for worst entry of 2007, I don't want to see it.

Saw meets Hostel in this entertaining, but painfully predictable film. Elisha Cuthbert is the difference between Captivity and the dozens of lame horror movies produced every year. Don't get me wrong, Captivity is full of gore and has a ridiculously stupid storyline, but it's not that bad, and Cuthbert is the reason. The veteran actress, best known as Kim Bauer and The Girl Next Door, is very methodical with every move she makes and that really manages to keep your attention. The maze of traps, moving walls, and pitfalls were also really cool, but outside of that and Cuthbert, Captivity is your typical gore fest, with zero character development, and a chilling story that really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I liked it for the little things, but overall, there's nothing special here, just another lame horror movie, that happened to land the right star.

A film with a very small cast that has a very claustrophobic feel to much of the action. I have seen it described as just another

I dont like this movie. Its quiet boring with a standart twist in the middle of the film. And iam disappointed that there is not much gore or splatter. I wanted a movie that is a torture porn movie and not a teenager movie. Saw and hostel by far better that this.
