All of you people complaining how bad it was are so blind you can't even see it, we were basically brainwashed through the entire movie. It made you believe things you never thought could be.it told where every person shed ever met, what they were doing in her moments of need all over the planet.it was brilliant by writers and directors I kept telling myself this can't be real, now I had ingested some THC bit I watched it 2 days In a row cause it was messing with my brain, through the entire show I felt strange trance like state.

I don't know how they writer and directors can get in someone's head like that, it's kinda scary we could be brainwashed watching a lifetime movie. I've never in my 54 years seen a movie that had this effect on Ms and it's been 4 days since the 2nd time I watched it and still can't make since of it all.

This movie deserves a big ol' ZERO, but IMDB won't allow a 0 rating. This was absolutely one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen. Maybe they were trying to be arty or take a Paige from "The Flight Attendant," but it wasn't working.

I would have given up after the first 20 minutes or so but I wanted to see if the movie could get even dumber and, in that regard, it didn't disappoint. The ending got really dumb and there weren't enough clues (none for that matter) that would allow a viewer to even guess what was going on.

The lead wore so many extremely low cut V neck tops that I wondered if she was trying to advertise something. If so, she wasn't pulling it off.

The one highlight of the movie was something I have never seen on an LMN movie in the closed captioning. "Upbeat harpsichord music!"

This was a truly terrible movie. The rentsl scenarios were completely unbelievable. And when she's knocked out and first comes to, she's too calm given that she's tied to a bed. And her panic, when it comes, is so fake. The whole saga of playing out in her mind the possible culprits was overkill and honestly just became boring...and of course the culmination of the revealing the culprit was just so pathetically cliche and ridiculous. This might have been one of the worst lifetime movies I've ever watched. Just truly bad from beginning to end. Hopefully whoever wrote this doesn't have another one...lol.

I agree with the other reviews. This was the worst movie I have ever seen. I had no clue what was going on. Nothing made any sense at all. It just kept getting worse and worse. Can someone please tell me the point of this movie and what was really happening? Watched the full movie and still have no clue what was going on and what it was about. It was also gross the way they kept zoning in on the ants the entire movie. Once you see them you don't need to see them again. Totally gross! Weird! Bizarre! The main character seemed relatively calm despite all of the craziness going on. I feel bad for the actors having to include this movie in their resume.

**Movie Review: *Held Hostage in My House* (2024)**

In my 53 years of watching movies, *Held Hostage in My House* is, without question, the worst I have ever seen. Directed by Anna Elizabeth James, this film is a complete letdown on almost every level. I went in with the hope of being engaged in a thrilling story but was instead met with a tedious, poorly written plot that felt both incoherent and pointless.

The pacing is painfully slow, with long, drawn-out scenes that fail to build tension or intrigue. The characters are shallow and uninspiring, with dialogue that often made me cringe. The lead performances lacked any real emotion, and there wasn't a single moment where I felt invested in the protagonist's journey or the supposed "danger" that should have driven the film forward.

The movie's attempt at suspense comes off as lazy, It feels like no effort was made to deliver a fresh or compelling story, and the ending was so anticlimactic that I couldn't help but feel completely robbed of my time.

Having experienced *Held Hostage in My House*, I can confidently say I will never watch another film by Anna Elizabeth James. This movie left such a bad impression that it has ruined any interest I might have had in her future work. Save yourself the frustration and skip this one entirely-it's not worth the effort.
