Review of Captive

Captive (2020)
6/10
A satisfactory thriller
8 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The plot was a bit ambiguous and some characters needed more screen-time, but overall I was pleased with how this developed. This is a rare movie where the use of flashback enhanced the story.

A major loose end was when Uncle Jeff visited the home. Jeff is aware that Evan is mentally ill. Based on that, if he was under the impression that "Katherine" would in danger, shouldn't he have asked to see her? Based on the newspaper article that Lily found, we know the mother was killed in an accident, but it's implied that Katherine is still alive and possibly ran off with her boyfriend.

Despite the confusion, I enjoyed the show. It was a slow burning psychological thriller. Limited violence and horror, but enough buildup.
