Captive

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.

Ehhhhh I love the main actress same from "Bury the bride" her role on this one is more kick Butt! Was interesting all and all was a bit better I think than bury the bride. I do love the cameo of Brendan Fehr At the end it was left open of course you would have to see it.... I did enjoy it though would I rate it 10 nope a good 6 would I see it again no! Lol but I still highly recommend if you are bored or have nothing better to do with your time...most of the actors are unknown. The only one I recognized was the lead Scout Taylor Compton. I thought she was a bad ass on her role the part was good.

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.

I've never really rated Scout Taylor-Compton as a scream queen and figured it wouldn't be too long before she started to appear in low budget garbage like this (as opposed to the higher budget garbage she is best known for: Halloween and April Fool's Day).

In Captive, Taylor-Compton plays Ashley, one of a group of stoner friends who break into a house while the owners are away; while exploring the property, they discover a man chained up in the basement and release him, ignoring the crucifixes on the wall and the line of salt that encircles him. Whaddya know? He's a strigoi (that's a vampire in layman's terms) and he wants Ashley for his mate.

Predictably plotted, badly directed, poorly acted tosh, Captive is bottom tier vampire nonsense that I imagine will only appeal to Scout Taylor-Compton fans desperate to see the actress in a swimsuit. There's little in the way of special effects or gore, with blood sprays being of the badly composited digital variety, and the film's twist at the end is easy to guess.

2/10.
