Women

This has been done before a few times and they were all better. This film is supposed to be about psycho professor who is SOOOOO terrifying that the college students he abducts don't even try to escape after 3 days of silent torture, despite no real abuse or trama inflicted on them. I mean they do suggest torture but I'm conditioned to seeing more brutality so its takes real skill with timing music etc to scare us with no violence. Just long periods of hearing drones and loud alarms while a girl is tied to a chair I guess just didn't cut it. Occassional opera over dialogue also made it even sloggier. (if thats a word) Maybe people who watch less horror will enjoy this at the level of a police procedural on TV. There IS the good detective doing the usual profiling of victims and the UNSUB and it was so boring even from THAT point I felt like I'd rather sleep. It was 6pm so not bedtime.

I just didnt find the villian scary or threatening and the women never seemed in so much jeopardy and that 1 or 2 could just smash him over head with ANYTHING. Its would be like if Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs is kidnapping college girls, for companionship+ but he didn't have a dog, or a dungeon pit, or a sexual identity crisis, or a bizarre hobby making original meat dresses out or real human skin. Nope just a man who looks like the guy who buys a scratch & win ticket while he's paying for gas. Not menacing in ANY way. There's a detective who asks the one question that every killer dreads to be discovered from: Are you married? Wow. The detective is as badly drawn a character as the women who are an insult to our intelligence and the ending is the cherry of this mud cake of a film. Made no sense at all. I feel like this whole movie was a tax write off but they hired real actors and its too bad but they had nothing to work with. Honestly skip it. Your time has value.

The worst-written episode of Criminal Minds, dragged on for 92 minutes.

There are movies that are produced worse, so I didn't score it 1 star, but it legitimately deserves -15 stars for writing. The writing is SO stupid it becomes insulting. I kept watching because I had chores to do around the house, and I didn't want to be too interested by what was going on on screen. It turns out that this movie, dialogue, story plot points and acting were so bad, it made me angry enough to get going on my errands. That's why this didn't get turned off in the first few minutes of dialogue, the next few plot points, the continuing dialogue, every insufferable monologue and that godawful piano scene.

There was no way to make that piano scene stupider and more unrealistic. The piano scene made me want to punch the movie quiet.

The acting wasn't great, but PALES in comparison to how terrible the writing was to begin with. Every spoken word made me want to track down the person(s) who wrote the script and just scream "NO" into their faces(s) for a few minutes.

That said, there are worse movies out there. So if you have chores to do around the house, and you want to support low-budget movies; have at it and turn it on for a bit.

I would have given this about a six if not for the idiotic ending. The storyline was different, the movie itself good, not great, but the ending ruined anything good it had going for it.

Like watching criminal minds, but one of the boring episodes, that weirdly left you wanting... more of an ending. The Stockholm syndrome and cops past stories could have been more defined and brought together a little more smoothly.................... I don't have anything else to say so here are a bunch of . To make up the right amount for a review ...........................................

Very like 'Kept Women' movie. Completely the same really. But I watched it all. Cheesy but ok drama.
