Captive

I assumed that this would suck because it's a Tubi Original, but I was pleasantly surprised. If you've watched enough horror movies, especially slasher movies, you already know all of the story beats--though I appreciated the way that the script makes some creative detours that defy expectations. The cast is uniformly strong, even if the set up beggars belief. You could do a LOT worse than CAPTIVE.

I gave this movie a 5. It's not something you're going to remember years from now, but it's good enough to hook you in and keep you watching. And kudos to Tubi for bringing this worthwhile original to their platform.

1-3 Don't waste your time 4-6 Good 7-9 Excellent 10 Outstanding.

I thought it was enjoyable and camp. It's quite not horror comedy, so it's not tense or scary. I expected a more traditional slasher film, but I enjoyed what they did with it instead. It felt a bit refreshing, and had fun with it.

I thought it had some nice touches, like the ouija board turning out to be them messing around, but it alerts them to the captive banging the pipes. The twist at the end was also fun.

The acting is very reasonable, the overall quality is decent, no issues with the sound quality or anything like that. It's not the most amazing film, and if you want something scary it's not going to scratch that itch. But it's fun.

This was a great film. It has the feel of a late 90s stoner film. For example idle hands (but not as funny, more serious). Mixed with a similar feel that you get with your slasher movies. I think it's good that they left alot of the politics plaquing movies recently and just made a fun, not to long, bloody, funny, unique And sometimes scary horror movie. And some people have said the acting was bad, well I 100% disagree. I think they did a great job. And I enjoyed how they changed up the vampire stuff a bit. I really hope tubi keeps doing horror movies and also I love Scout so yay! So please please please keep up the good work with the horror genre tubi.

Definitely a B-movie, but I didn't mind it.

It has a lot of the usual tropes for this type of movie (i.e. Young people together in a house, who have internal conflicts). The acting seems fair, at least fair when it doesn't seem like some of the actors were deliberately trying to go over the top.

My biggest complaint is that, even though there are a million different 'vampire rules' in a million different books and movies, it bugs me when a movie doesn't follow its own internal rules.

If you can't find anything else really on, I'd give it a go. One can't only watch 9s & 10s; if so, one wouldn't be watching a lot of movies.

From beginning to, well, I didn't make it to the end, this film is horrible. Throwaway writing poorly executed by lazy directing and stale acting. I feel like this movie was written AND filmed in a weekend. Nothing in this film provokes any sort of interest. It felt like a chore to even make it as far as I did. I found myself more interested in my neighbors moving out and found myself watching them from my window more than I watched this movie. I can't, for the life of me, understand how movies like this get made. Also, it seems as if the actors in this movie are pushing forty but have nothing better to do than break into a house for the weekend? A movie with no redeeming qualities and a complete waste of everyone's time. Including the viewer.
