Confined

You know, I really thought this was going to be a BAD movie,and I watched it anyway because nothing else jumped at me, and the fact that it's based on a true story was intriguing to me. A young couple moves to a nice suburban Seattle neighborhood, and immediately weird things are abode next door. The young pretty wife gets interested in the goings on, and begins a quazi-investigation. the things that make this movie work are the understated performances, which is really hard to do, ana a strong script, story arc, and premise. Not so great: a sort of predictable ending. This easily could have been a breakout movie for this director along the lines of an M. Night Shylamon (SP?), but it narrowly misses the mark. it's worth a watch, though, but don't expect the Sixth Sense...

Good not great. Seen better and seen worse. But the pace was pretty decent so it keeps you tuned in.

Some good action sequences and decent suspense. It's pretty much what I look for in a Lifetime movie. No Emmy here, but you're probably not expecting that from this network.

Was hoping it would stick a little closer to the true story but I guess there's only so much you can show on television. Liked the performances all around, which were above par for the course.

David James Elliott should be working more. Looking forward to his Hallmark movie.

Good: Acting Dialogue Sound Score

Not so Good: Some of the casting

I was pleasantly suprised! Not bad for a lifetime movie, kept you guessing til the end, unexpected twist ending. There were a couple of holes along the way but those plot holes were feel towards the end of the movie. The person who you thought was innocent turned out not to be so innocent after all. I was glad to see them both pay.

This is exactly everything you'd expect for a suspense film. Perfect plot, convincing characters, a simple set that draws you in to the connectedness of the neighborhood. The focal point of the film is centered and moves timely. You are drawn in from one moment to the next by items that gradually reveal themselves. Ominous soundtrack and imaging effects. The only thing that could have improved this film would have been more unique depth to the characters. Highly recommended for anyone who loves the suspense genre without all the gore or added drama. I found this movie on FreeVee - the Amazon sponsored app.

Victoria is almost your usual everybody-thinks-I'm-crazy Lifetime heroine, but puts in a better performance than most as do the rest of the cast. there's good chemistry between the husband and wife, and the daughter was a lot less snooty, as Lifetime usually dictates. their family actually seemed to truly love each other.

The dialogue and shooting style are what separate this from most of these women in jeopardy thrillers that Lifetime has cornered the market on.

And wait, what a truly suspenseful character?... Michael Hogan plays probably the creepiest neighbor ever. Good monologue about his dead dog, kind of like a Kathy Bates Misery unstable character-feel. Would've liked to see more of his character. He's the kind of actor that when he talks, you lean in and listen. All in all, Confined is a fun ride for a small budget movie. I was pleasantly surprised.
