Kidnapped (Secuestrados ) (2010)

< 100: Overlooked, Intriguing or Boombastic! (40 movies items)

" An intense experience on par with movies such as Funny Games and Mother's Day, and I would argue in sheer terror this is much more terrifying than any of the other representatives of the home invasion-genre. There is minimal set-up and the story is a polar opposite of something like Funny Games. Kidnapped sets out to do nothing more than make your hands shake like hell after it's over, and it has a great bag of surprises to achieve that, that I won't spoil here."

"24.6 SD Ja minä kun luulin tämän genren huipentuvan Mother's Dayhin.

"Thiller/Horror film from Spain. Similar to "The Strangers""

" Spain makes a remake of "The Strangers"??? Home invasion turns into a blood bath. This has been done before. Sadly the artistic use of the split screen does little on the standard large screen home tv. So, perhaps it was more interesting in a theater."

“Kidnapped left me feeling ill, rattled, and deeply disturbed, but this does not make it a bad movie. On a technical level the film is flawless, being done in only 12 extended takes and great use of split spring, the tension is built to nearly unbearable levels. But I can't stress this enough, this is not for the faint of heart, this movie will gut you with a knife. However, you'll never forget it, even if you may want to.” read more
