Top
cover girl and fashion model, Jennifer Tree (Elisha Cuthbert) has it
all - beauty, fame, money and power. Her face appears on covers of
hundreds of magazines. At the top of her game, Jennifer is America's
sweetheart. She is loved and adored and sought after. Everyone wants
her. But someone out there has been watching and waiting. Someone wants
her in the worst way. Out alone at a charity event in Soho, Jennifer is
drugged and taken.
Held captive in a cell, Jennifer is subjected to a series of
terrifying, life-threatening tortures that could only be conceived by a
twisted, sadistic mind.
Inspired by the fact that over 850,000 people are reported missing
every year in the United States, many of whom are never seen again,
'Captivity' follows the story of one woman who is abducted and
tortured, held against her will in a place where days turn into weeks.
Her will to escape and survive is challenged every moment by a maniac's
desire to demoralize innocent victims and play out his sick game that
has been played many times before Jennifer was taken.
A combination of 'Saw' and 'Hostel' meets 'Silence of the Lambs,'
'Captivity' is a psychological thriller/horror film that shows us the
true terror of the crimes of abduction and confinement that are
committed every day by serial killers and psychopaths at large.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Roland Joffe ('The Killing Fields,'
'The Mission'), 'Captivity' delves deeply into the minds of both captor
and victim with a fresh and terrifying view of this epidemic horror.
Being released this summer in theatres nation-wide, 'Captivity' has
been called one of the most controversial films of the year. It's a
disturbing and raw, yet classy and thought provoking film which will
leave you terrified, and looking over your shoulder as you leave the
theatre wondering if you could be next.
