Held

Starting off well, it actually kept my attention until the end. Once I figured out the plot, I still liked it, which is not so common. Not a masterpiece though but much better than traditional splatter/horror movies. A suspense film with a low budget wrapped in a nice well-played package, reminiscent of "Sleeping with the enemy". Sometimes less is more and that is definitely the case with "Held". Good choice for both him and her.

Somewhere around the hour mark it becomes apparent what's about to be revealed and it's very on the nose about it, as is the case with most agent pushing movies nowadays. Too bad, because it could've been a decent horror drama about the complexities of marriage, but the script lacks subtlety and opts for familiar tropes.

This film is actually not as bad as some might think. If you understand the main point(s) of the film, it makes sense from that perspective.

This film isn't just about a married couple being trapped indoors over a weekend. There's an agenda and this takes life's most common problems with marriage/relationships and places it at the center. Of course the film also needs to include small elements of suspense throughout to keep it interesting.

...and then it takes an unexpected turn you don't see coming - controlled gratification.

Enjoyed watching this film from the guys at TREMENDUM pics as have enjoyed their other films as well! Love how this was filmed and the sound... fun wild storyline that has a crazy reveal at the end. Very horrific married couples film to say the least haha.

Overall a decent movie. It was definitely saved by the surprising turns at the end and the concept overall. Acting was pretty tough and it was definitely slow to start. Also, that girl is pretty brutal. Not sure who casted her to play the part.
