Jennifer Lynch, daughter of David, does the filmmaking equivalent of drunkenly totalling dad's prized Ferrari.

Chained is silly and nasty at the same time.

Plenty nasty but singularly lacking in clever new twists on a weary genre.

D'Onofrio's performance slightly elevates the overall experience but the ultimate execution fails to offer many surprises.

If you like serial killer flicks; this is an interesting turn. I did not see the twist coming; and the movie held my interest. Movie snobs may not want to lower themselves; but to hell with them, anyway!

Disturbing but interesting. I was told I would not guess the ending and that was true, I didn't. D'Onofrio is terrific in a chilling performance.

This is definitely a solid psychological thriller, might be a bit slow at times, but it makes up for it with its tense moments. I have to say, the acting was surprisingly good for a lesser-known movie. I liked the plot twist, but the ending was lame.

A interesting movie about nature vs nurture. Can be a little slow but the pay off felt worth that.
