    For the people saying this movie isn't out.....

    For the ignorant people in here saying this movie hasn't been released & questioning how they managed to watch it before they saw it at some "special screening in Washington" garbage..... This movie was a straight to DVD release & has been sitting on Blockbuster Video shelves since at least July, 2009, if not earlier.

    As for the movie itself - don't bother. It's a horrible rip-off of other movies in the same vein & not done nearly as well. As others have mentioned - plot holes big enough that you could drive a bus through, incoherent storyline, below par acting at best & overall terrible quality movie. This one is destined for the $2 bargain bin and even that would be over charging, to be honest.

    awful

    This was by far one of the worst attempts at psychological horror i have seen that actually tried to be serious. The sound and dialog was extremely sub-par, even for a lower budget film. No character development leave you not caring for any of the major characters, and the numerous plot holes leaves you guessing half the movie. Avoid at all costs. As for anyone that says to see it for the fun factor or anything like that, I would definitely look elsewhere, as the visual effects and gore are horrible and sometimes non-existent. The obvious seems to escape the characters at many times and make them seem extremely one dimensional and forced.

    Maybe with a better story and talent involved, this would have been good.

    The premise had promise (human capture and slavery in middle America) unfortunately the execution was off. Stilted characters that reeked of horror movie clichés and an overly long tedious opening that almost made me turn the movie off in boredom did not help the film (and continuity issues with blood covered ripped up shirts don't help either).

    Buckets of blood do not make a good movie, no matter how many teenagers tell you it does. Perhaps given better actors, editors, writer and director, this would have been a decent film, but in this case, it was poorly executed by the cast and crew that were in over their heads from the very start. And the goofy twists in the last fifteen minutes are simply that…goofy.

    And as a note to the writer: if you are going to make a point of the main protagonist saying that he can break a human in a mere three days...please follow through with it. Nothing happened to even remotely break anyone.

    Annoying, Derivative Film... Avoid at All Costs

    A group of college kids must decide what price they will pay to gain their freedom after being kidnapped by a ruthless White Slave trader.

    This film is described on the DVD case as "gutsy", but that's just about the last word I would use to describe it. The film quality is low, seemingly on purpose to give it a gritty look, and this only adds to the frustration of trying to watch it. Aside from the film quality itself, the movie is just plain bad.

    If you like watching people being tortured, there are a few scenes you may enjoy. I, for one, have grown bored with it. I wasn't a big fan in the first place, and if you want to cover up a weak plot with torture, that's just a poor idea and you shouldn't have made the film in the first place. "Saw" and "Hostel" said it all.

    There's a plot twist here or there that is kind of interesting, but hardly worth getting excited about. Personally, I think it would be in your best interest to just keep walking and forget this film was ever made. I know I will soon forget.

    Amazing...

    how someone can pull such a bunch of crap and believe there was "writing" involved. Take all the clichés avoided by even the most amateurish wannabe, cram them into a night-shot film with one of the most dreadful lighting for night I've ever witnessed, throw in some sloppy characters without soul or possible empathy-connections, spend a large sum of money in film, lighting and post, and you have -mileage may vary- this "film". I feel sorry for the poor actors that may have thought this was a opportunity to do a nice job.

    If you teach whatever you teach, you can use this thing to show your students haw not to do things in life.
