Confined

This is exactly everything you'd expect for a suspense film. Perfect plot, convincing characters, a simple set that draws you in to the connectedness of the neighborhood. The focal point of the film is centered and moves timely. You are drawn in from one moment to the next by items that gradually reveal themselves. Ominous soundtrack and imaging effects. The only thing that could have improved this film would have been more unique depth to the characters. Highly recommended for anyone who loves the suspense genre without all the gore or added drama. I found this movie on FreeVee - the Amazon sponsored app.

I was pleasantly suprised! Not bad for a lifetime movie, kept you guessing til the end, unexpected twist ending. There were a couple of holes along the way but those plot holes were feel towards the end of the movie. The person who you thought was innocent turned out not to be so innocent after all. I was glad to see them both pay.

Victoria is almost your usual everybody-thinks-I'm-crazy Lifetime heroine, but puts in a better performance than most as do the rest of the cast. there's good chemistry between the husband and wife, and the daughter was a lot less snooty, as Lifetime usually dictates. their family actually seemed to truly love each other.

The dialogue and shooting style are what separate this from most of these women in jeopardy thrillers that Lifetime has cornered the market on.

And wait, what a truly suspenseful character?... Michael Hogan plays probably the creepiest neighbor ever. Good monologue about his dead dog, kind of like a Kathy Bates Misery unstable character-feel. Would've liked to see more of his character. He's the kind of actor that when he talks, you lean in and listen. All in all, Confined is a fun ride for a small budget movie. I was pleasantly surprised.

I agree with other reviewer. Story is poor and completely absurd. There is hardly any suspense and does not connect well. Emma suspecting the neighbor from the beginning of the movie, just having a glance at basement, does not make sense. Also in the end, neighbor coming to Emma house and attacking the David outside the house does not make sense, that too without wearing any gloves to protect himself. There are other things that are also not convincing are Michael keeping the girl in the cell immediately after his boy fell from the steps, Readily available cell, girl spending 12 years in the cell without restroom, Emma barge into Michael house to find the wall, etc.. there are so many points that are really illogical. Though movie is not convincing, it is not boring. So If you don't have anything else to do go ahead and watch..

I give this movie all stars because it really deserves it. It's not boring as it seems, it is suspenseful and entertaining. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a thrill without gore or sexual scenes. There were scenes that were intense that makes u addicted to continue watching throughout the entire movie. I love the music and special suspense sounds that spook you a lot. I would watch it again...I would probably buy this movie!

Very worthwhile plot to watch, it is Superb, Suspenseful and predictable!
