Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Jennifer Lynch, daughter of David, does the filmmaking equivalent of drunkenly totalling dad's prized Ferrari. Rated: 1/5 Feb 1, 2013 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Chained is silly and nasty at the same time. Rated: 1/5 Jan 31, 2013 Full Review David Hughes Empire Magazine Plenty nasty but singularly lacking in clever new twists on a weary genre. Rated: 2/5 Jan 30, 2013 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a misfire of decidedly mammoth proportions... Rated: 1/4 Oct 20, 2024 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh D'Onofrio's performance slightly elevates the overall experience but the ultimate execution fails to offer many surprises. Rated: 2/5 Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Chris Hunneysett The Sunday People shamelessly provocative, unconvincing and dull Rated: 1/5 Jul 25, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Joshua W Movie feels a little uncomfortable to watch at times due to the seriousness of the crimes but if you watch till the end the it all comes together. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/14/24 Full Review A. A Solid psychological thriller. Definitely worth watching., Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/13/24 Full Review Addi N started off strong…. definitely a weird film…. always something going on but boring and flat out horrifying. not to mention the ending of this movie was pure dog 💩. it was almsot as if the scene was cut short. stupid. after watching this movie with my virgin eyes i will be making my way to the chapel to confess the sin of watching this devilish movie. sending prayers to those who’s eyes have been exposed to the devils work. i hope from the bottom of my heart that the producers of such film rethink what they produce next….. i personally would recommend a therapist for this producer. if anyone’s looking for a good follow up movie, i am now starting, “The Passion of The Christ”. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review inta k pretty solid story and acting, interesting to watch Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/20/24 Full Review J M This is a mixed bag for me. Lynch has her father David's eye for creating an eerie atmosphere and unusual characters. The house where Rabbit is held captive becomes a character unto itself. And the beginning parts of the film are truly unsettling. D'Onofrio is an ideal actor for this type of role although I felt some inconsistencies in his performance. But his scenes with the actors playing younger and older Rabbit feel authentic and painful. The trouble is that it feels like there's nowhere to go with the story after a while. We are introduced to the characters and understand the dilemma, but the screenwriter doesn't know what to do with them. We are also burdened with a couple moments that stretch credibility including one of the most love-it-or-hate-it climaxes that I've ever seen - and I despised it. It's dark and depressing and ultimately feels like a missed opportunity for something truly memorable. That being said, there are lots of good qualities here that make this a close call. - Jeff Marshall, Movie Blogger (Facebook) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Audience Member SO CREEPY AND SO DEMENTED. Which equals GREAT FILM! I was creeped out from the start and it kept me on the edge of my seat! And a bonus it was filmed in Regina and Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan where I live!! Great acting and awesome twist! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
