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.

...a misfire of decidedly mammoth proportions...

The Wolfman Cometh

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

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.

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”.
