Another typical Saw/Hostel copycat that builds up well in the beginning. Exciting dark build-up with that sinister music from Rockers Hi-Fi, then we get the theme what to expect. That woman who, as promised, ends up in a cellar and from a distance a sadistic game is played with her again. But the tension wears off pretty quickly after a while and you eventually know what's going to happen. The film still wants to be quite shocking here and there read: those hydrochloric acid scenes but Captivity doesn't really have a structure and content. It's not really more than just stupid weekday entertainment.
3.0*

I didn't think the beginning was very special, it was all rather slow and the torture didn't come across as gore. It got a bit more entertaining for me after halfway through, probably due to the twist that I honestly didn't expect, but could have come across as predictable!
I think there are also quite a few films that rely on this story, so I recognized some things from the horror film Otis (2008). When it comes to such stories, I like it. In this film, this also started a little later in an entertaining way.
2.5*

Film looks rather amateurish and messy and that is unfortunately the dominant feeling. I missed the necessary tension because of this.
