Stay

I couldn't get over not knowing where/how he saw her to know he had to have her, and how he captured her or lured her into his apartment in the first place and got the contraption on her neck. Had that been integregrated I may have developed enough empathy for either character to want to see the film through. Major plot hole that annoyed me and lost my interest. Shut if off after 15 minutes.

I agree with one man that a more detailed events of how she got there would be interesting but it may make you have even less sympathy for the man to see that all acted out. This film about showing you events from a specific point.

Although only shot in one location and minimal characters this low budget film impressed. Wish I could have seen more backstory, but still enjoyed the 90 minutes. The actors are definitely something to watch, their performance kept me "captivated." Thanks for this cool little indie film!

The premise is interesting. Can a kidnapper make his victim fall in love with him? Sadly, the film doesn't do much with it. Most of what goes on in the film is dreadfully dull. The stakes felt oddly low given the situation. It's clearly made on a budget so you just kind of have to accept some things. The acting is okay though. I liked the characters. Though they never really get developed. The story, especially the ending, is predictable. I wanted to like this one but there was so little here that was worthwhile. I just spent most of it bored. More needed to happen or the stakes needed to feel higher. It needed something that wasn't there. I wouldn't recommend it.

I've seen my fair share of "girl captive" movies, and much of this was predictable (not all of it). However, the actors were so good, I couldn't take my eyes off of the film. That was also due to its thriller, "escape," angle, of course. You'll miss a lot if you look away. MISSING-- I wanted to KNOW each of these characters as people a lot more. We learn almost nothing. BERLIN SYNDROME was an excellent, bigger budget film that did this well. However, considering this was a low budget indie--I was impressed.
