Way over the top in a ?Saw-like? type of way, but enjoyable all the same. Expensive contraptions and a pretty predictable outcome, but one that?s much worthier a watch to a lot of teen slasher movies, this one is based on the torture theme.

A very predictable torture porn flick which moves a bit slowly. Captivity lacks the punch and intensity of films like Saw. The acting is mediocre and there just isn't enough suspense. There is a scene with a dog which as an animal lover I absolutely hated. To each his own on ...( read more)

This fun addition to the torture porn genre certainly grabs your attention by ramping up the sadistic cruelty. Mostly predictable, but with some genuine surprises scattered throughout. The gorgeous Elisha Cuthbert does well in a fairly standard horror-type role and the writing is...( read more)

This was a really good film. Disturbing and scary at times to watch but it had a really good storyline and was really good.

Che sventura perdere un'ora e ventuno minuti della mia vita a guardare una pagliacciata simile! Non si sa bene se sono più irritanti gli interpreti o il regista!

It's a Saw rip-off with less smarts. (Take a moment, please, to allow that sentence to sink in.) full review
The film itself is sordid, unpleasant viewing, as promised, yet more tedious than terrifying. full review

April 4, 2008Yeah, i don't like the word "torture porn", the film is just stupid. Bad acting, bad direction (this is Roland Joffe we're talking about), bad film.

July 19, 2007This pointless horror film is just a Saw rip-off or wannabe without a good twist & dull performances that turn out to be predictable.At times the sound effects are loud & annoying besides the movie wasn't even that shocking or gory like it was intended to be.Don't expect this to be gory as the Saw franchise & Hostel or to be in the same level as these films because Captivity gives a bad name to torture porn.The director came up with his shock tactics to get a reaction of the viewers but some of the scenes turn out to be too silly.

June 27, 2007The twist is completely rubbish as well as the whole film. Honestly, you could see the twist 100 miles away!
