Although her good looks DID somewhat help lift the movie from a hard zero to a 1/2, Ashley Greene's acting was completely dull, annoying, unrealistic and probably worse than any amateur I've ever seen. Now I understand why Alice never had more than two lines in the twilight saga. The rest of the cast was also so bad that it felt like a torture sitting through this movie. Seriously, can't stress it enough, the acting in this movie is simply quite pathetic. I could not find anything good about this low-budgeted production. The story is also just a pile of predictable crap that we've all seen somewhere before: Girl goes to find her dad but ends up chained in the basement by a family of tormented psychos. Even the blood looks fake! In short, I know a lot of people are gonna be pretty curious about this one but watch it at your own expense. It s a merciless bore-fest!

After discovering that his mother had hidden her birth to her unknown father, Summer tempered teenager (Ashley Greene, Twilight) goes off to meet the mysterious man. His only clue is a letter battered containing the postmark of a little town called Massey. Once arrived in the rural community Summer meets a charming local handyman Hoxey named Tom (Peter Mooney Falcon Beach TV's). Then she goes to Tom's house, where he lives with his mother Gaia (Barbara Niven), for a night of casual sex. Here the film is supposed to start... What can I say? Absurd, no rhythm, situations that can not even be ridiculous, certainly not scary. Actors unable to be credible, but certainly not their fault, given the inconsistency of the script. But perhaps a bit 'more expressive would help... Dubbing in Italian, if possible, makes things even worse. An hour and a half of boredom and yawning. No suspense, no thrill. We already know who is who and what will happen. The first part is slow, then the second is slower. I wonder who found it interesting just how they did it. Maybe they felt asleep and dreamed another film.

This was a movie that was predictable by description, but the journey to get to her meeting her father is interesting. Summer is a tough girl who is on a journey to find her father, who was told that she had been miscarried. The only thing she had to lead her to him was a picture and a card he had sent her mother. She hitches rides to the town that the letter came from. While running from a police officer for shoplifting, she meets a young man that hides her and takes her home. She has a great night with him, but when she gets up in the morning and tries to leave, she ends up in the basement as a victim. As the movie progresses, she gets more liberties in the house and stays locked there with her captor and his mother. The father of the family is on the road all of the time, but once he hears about Summer, he comes home to see the new captive. Then the movie progresses as I would expect it to. It was a movie worth watching. Ashley Greene is not the sweet girl from Twilight, but a tough girl with a will to survive.

After receiving the DVD today I thought it looked like one you would get free in a newspaper in a few years time.(Like 'The Night Caller' that wasn't so good).But nevertheless I watched it anyway and I have to say for a 15 day shoot it is very good. Predictable at times but then a lot of films are these days. There was some good acting from Ashley Green and most other actors. I especially like Stephen McHattie in the film, for some reason the way he delivered his lines was quite amusing. The film's ending wasn't spectacular but better than some I have seen. I would definitely recommend seeing this.......
