Victims

If you accept its a torture thriller drama from the get go and are fully on board with it it does what it intends to. The moral dilemma was well stated and the writing of the characters was a strength particularly with Katherine Isabelle channeling her best post-ginger fitzgerald character well here. I felt for her character because she understood the character she was playing well and was able to portray the emotions and nuances. This could've been a run of the mill stupid torture fest but it's actually a cut above. It was handled as a dark drama and thriller about what is often a horror. And the actors and writers were able to pull off what they set out to achieve. Some of it is of course in poor taste in theme. But the story right from the opening credits made no mistake in promising that it would be sad/dark. Despite that It leaves a somewhat good resolution or message in the ability of survival, and good over evil. and Katharine Isabelle.

Victims is one of those rare films that comes around once in a great while. It brings to life our worst fear, a home invasion gone wrong, and the aftermath. Leaving you to wonder how far you would go and what you would be willing to lose if given the chance for revenge.

From the first scene, you are captivated and held hostage until the credits roll. The lonely, dilapidated house is a stark representation of the game being played out within its walls.

Lindsay (Played by Katherine Isabella) has just survived a horrendous attack and the loss of more than her innocence. She is struggling to move past the tragedy, but she finds herself trapped in a prison she once called home.

Spencer (Played by Christian Campbell) Is Lindsay's husband, battling his own demons. He is unable to forgive himself for not being there to save his family, however, has now found a way to redeem himself. But we begin to wonder if he is truly the loving husband he claims to be.

We watch Spencer slowly spiral out of control while "keeping" his wife safe. Lindsay finds herself resenting the man she once loved and sympathizing with the man being held captive.

This film is a Must see. Everything about it is phenomenal from the acting to cinematography. It draws you in and there is no escape.

Chris Abell who wrote and directed this film is extremely talented, you feel the pain and vulnerability of the characters. The twists and turns of this story will keep you on the edge of your seat and when it is over you will be plagued by the question "Who are the real Victims?

This movie is A M A Z I N G, I couldn't stop watching from the beginning to the end!.

The acting, the background sounds, and the scenes are all at the highest level. I especially liked 'Lindsay', I got impressed by how she could handle that situation, she is an amazing actress!.

I loved the trama, with so much suspense on what was about to happen and that mysterious place. In fact, that made me thought about how was she going to escape from there, but what I never expected was something like 'Stockholm Syndrome'.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but, in the end, I asked myself: Who are the real victims?

You HAVE TO watch this film!. For sure I will be talking with my friends (with or without spoilers? We will never know) about it.
