Stay

I'm sure if you're reading this you're one of us. You know, we love to scour through Prime hoping to find a worthwhile and sometimes even an excellent unknown film. Well this is just that. Excellent I thought. I agree with others that I'd like to have seen the actual story leading up to the imprisonment, but not a deal breaker by any means.

Brooke Devlin, whom I'd never seen before was fantastic. I'll admit it was difficult to suppress the fact that she is astonishingly gorgeous and just focus on her character. She made it much easier by portraying Claire so well. Her expressions, tone and mannerisms were exquisite. I really thought she was amazing and will be looking for her in other projects. By all means watch this movie. It's got many philosophical concepts that I won't go into. Watch and enjoy.

Predictable and totally ridiculous. Stay, crawl , beg, sit, bark, and fetch. I am surprised that brilliant piece of prose was not used or included in this dog of a movie. OMG! Feels like an NYU student flick. Woof.

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.

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 was REALLY wanting to like this movie. The acting is so bad; like, worse than a Lifetime Movie bad. Like, if acting students that didn't make the cut for a prestigious acting school made a movie... but worse. So... newbie actors that used their "lessons" too literally, and completely over-acted, but also just weren't good at it? Screenplay is a C-, at best. Not even laughable it is so bad. Plot holes are in the hundreds... but wait, there isn't really a plot what either. Remember that movie from a million years ago called KIDS... or have you ever seen an "adult film" that attempts a script and "plot?" It's like that. But so much worse. Giving it a 2 for effort.
