When initially released, Captivity was quickly thrown into the newly
created movie genre appropriately called ‘Torture Porn,’ movies that
give you maximum gore with minimal plot. Captivity doesn’t quite match
the visceral punch of Hostel, but it does have its moments. The plot is
simple. A beautiful, top model (Elisha Cuthbert) is drugged and
kidnapped by a sadistic psychopath, who of course, to our delight,
subjects her to all kinds of sick and twisted mind games. To keep
things interesting, there are a few minor plot twists sprinkled
throughout the movie. Unfortunately, most true horror fans will see the
inevitable coming from a mile away. That said; Captivity is still a fun
way to spend 90 minutes. –dark abyss
