Trapped in the Farmhouse (2023 TV Movie)
7/10
An enjoyable movie but with so much missing information, unanswered questions, and plot holes

Warning: Spoilers
Because of the original movie idea, this earns a 7 star rating from me. But referring to my review title, there were just too much missing information, unanswered questions, and plot holes that made the story difficult to follow and understand.

Was Kylie's mom and Jack dating or something? Because it definitely appeared that way in the recording that Jack watched on the TV screen while Emma was handcuffed to the table. But then when we finally saw Kylie, it showed a flashback of Kylie opening the front door to see Jack, and they talk as if they have never met before. I was so confused at that point.

So that left me with the conclusion that either Jack was Kylie's real dad, or that he was a stranger who forcefully broke into their house and held them hostage. It's almost as if the screenwriters forgot their original script and decided to take a different route for their story, which ultimately confused their audience.

What happened to the mom? Did Jack kill her offscreen or something? Who was the other man that appeared on the recording that Emma look so shocked to see? Did she know him?

How did Jack not hear Emma fumbling with the pen and handcuffs, along with all the other noises she made? Maybe Jack is deaf in one ear.

Other than all of those I thought this was an enjoyable film to watch on a Sunday night. The special effects were good and it did leave me on the edge of my seat, or should I say, living room couch. I wish we saw more of the sister and the abusive ex boyfriend. The sister only had one scene and the ex only appeared in flashbacks.
