"CAPTORS" Certainly Is Not a 10, Nor 9 Or 8 Or 7 Or 6, a Low 5 At Best, It's Somewhat Haunting But Diffinitely Not Scary, Either You Are Crazier Than Two Left Shoes On a Persons Feet Or You Are Sane, Is It Real Or Not Real? The Main Character Doesn't Know Because She Can't Distinguish Between Reality And What Is Not Real, Is She Crazy? Maybe, I Haven Gotten To The End Yet, But I'm Betting, Than Two Left Shoes On a Persons Feet!

This movie was extremely blah. It had the potential to be a really good film but is riddled with holes. None of what is going on makes any sense. It kinda reminded me of Saw. Like there was some game going on but there was no real absolution. Maybe if you dive more into it, there's something I missed but I seriously doubt it. For a storyline based on one of the horrors of the world, it falls flat. There's no redemption what so ever and I'm not sure how this movie has ratings of 10. They are obviously fake reviews. This movie was no more than a four at best. Watch if you want but don't expect some amazing psychological thriller because that it is not.

I think 4-5 is a fair score. The first thing I'd say, respectfully, is when the main character is supposed to be penniless, don't cast someone who's clearly had work done to their face. She's a decent actress don't get me wrong, but it really took me out of the film. People who have never had money don't have lip-fillers. That aside, I thought it was okay overall. Some parts were ridiculous. The script could've been better. But the premise was good. Some cliche moments will likely make your eyes roll. But if you like a thriller, and aren't expecting the next Silence of the Lambs, then this film is serviceable.
it's a trap

It had potential

Warning: Spoilers
But the bad acting and the storyline just got stupid. Could have been a really good movie. Difficult to know what was from the past and hard to see who was who on the tapes. Don't waste your time on this one. Might be ok to watch if you literally have nothing else to watch.
Main character goes through so much trauma and violence
robertfritz-128603 June 2022
Okay, i have seen a lot of horror films. Captors was another one that i liked very much. I would love to see a sequel to this movie. The main character goes through so much trauma and violence from her captor. Will she triumphed in the end!?
Rich Uncle
nogodnomasters5 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Alys was brought into the US to be a sex slave. She escaped and managed to eke by for years. She discovers an unknown uncle living in this country leaves her a house. As it turns out, it was her former captor who still wants to torment her.
The story has some plot holes. She is told the food is drugged, but keeps eating it. She hallucinates and walks around in a daze which consumes much of the film. The film was supposed to be some kind of statement of sex trafficking but falls short there and on entertainment.
Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity. Women in bikinis have a man lay on them fully clothed in what was supposed to be a rape scene.

Very unique story
tylercipolla3 June 2022
Captors movie is a very good and one of the best thrillers and one of the most interesting and tense ones. Very unique story line and extremely tense and entertaining, it kept me guessing what is going on and how are things going to go. Very well done story and directing, good acting, great effects, and a great twist. Very well done and entertaining.
Time for wind
obi_wan_kenobi_UKR2 August 2022
I can say with confidence that it is a banal wasted hour and a half to watch.
There is still a stereotype that you can take a pretty girl with a mustache and a crazy maniac and bring them together. It already sounds trite. And when such a crooked performance also turns out, then what is there to talk about.
The actress of the main role does not play very well. In some situations, it can be seen that it does not pull out.
The main downside is that the script is imperfect and confusing. The authors were flying in their thoughts, so the creative team had to start from their understanding of the picture and shot a set of random scenes that the editing director put together. That's how this movie came out.
And the ending completed the misunderstanding.
Three is the ceiling for this project.

Best horror movie
williamglasper3 June 2022
Captors is one of the best horror movies I've watched in a while. I didn't get any spoilers while watching this movie and the ending was thrilling. I am going to look for more Bressack films and Yulia Klass plays the victim splendidly. Worth a watch or two for sure.
nice idea and potential but...
Sparta2k2230 May 2022
I dont understand nowdays movies seem very predictable and every scene leading to be predictable, the acting is not bad but when it spredictable its boring and repetitive, its just a movie to not watch but keep it running on the background or fall asleep to..
Hilariously inept
haskel-729519 February 2023
I rented this by mistake. I had avoided it since it's release due to user and critic reviews. Tonight I rented it thinking it was another movie. I knew I was in for something truly awful when I saw "Directed by James Cullen Bressack." Bressack was once a promising young filmmaker, now he's a not so young hack who churns out cheap garbage by the ton. This one though, this one is next level lousy. Nevermind the plotholes so large you could drive an eighteen wheeler through them and then parallel park it. Nevermind the absolute impossibility of the plot. As much as those things insult the viewer's intelligence, the real crime against filmmaking here is casting the usually great Bruce Davison in role that wastes his talent completely. I would only recommend this dreck to true masochists who would like to experience an hour and a half of amateurish hell that feels lime it lasts for days.
Terrible Time Waster.
Horror_Flick_Fanatic2 June 2022
This film is a terrible time waster. The girl is pretty and has a passing resemblance to Angelina Jolie. However, the writing is absolutely atrocious. This film wouldn't even make it to a Walmart $1 bin. It would be more appropriate as a 25-cent item as a garage sale. If only a few things were bad about it, I would spend the time writing what was wrong with it. But every minute of this film is truly terrible. The true horror with this film is the time I spent watching it.
A sicko movie
waynemilbourn3 June 2022
A sicko movie whose nastiness is almost topped by its weirdness. So obviously any true horror fan worth their salt needs to see it! Tainted food, sex trafficking, drugged, deceit - The victim Alice goes through it all. Psychological thriller of the year hands down. Going to watch it again tonight.
Plenty of gore and violence to bombard eyes
eddieandrewss3 June 2022
I love this movie! I loved everything about it. Not only does Captors create an extremely tense atmosphere from start to end, it has plenty of gore and violence to bombard your eyes, not to mention the plot twists. I LOVE that ending too. With an unknown actress she did an incredible job acting in these types of situations. This film was, in my opinion, exciting, thrilling, and an overall entertaining film to watch. It delivered the necessary chills, to keep its audiences fully awake, and engaged. This was an enormous achievement for both Yulia Klass and James Cullen Bressack. The two have created a well-deserved horror/thriller, without the necessary cliches.
Create an extremely tense atmosphere
stevesullivan-073683 June 2022
Not only does this movie create an extremely tense atmosphere the moment it starts, it has plenty of blood and violence to bombard your eyes, not to mention that it has a shocking evil twist I had not seen in any horror movie. I watched this film alone at night with the lights off, expecting to be freaked out by it since I thought it was just another typical horror movie; but instead I was completely intrigued by the story line, and utterly drawn into the film for the whole 90 minutes. At the end I did not feel scared, rather, I felt something very few horror movies have to offer: satisfaction! This movie left me in a slightly disturbed but very thoughtful state. It did not give me nightmares, it plagued my day-dreams; for two days my thoughts could not stray far from this film, that's how powerful it is.
Really enjoyable
wallaceboyce2 June 2022
I accidentally stumbled onto this one when I was googling another film. It looked intriguing and I decided to stream it. I wasn't disappointed! I really enjoyed it. The main character is subjected to a lot of trauma and violence - great thriller!
Will have you on the edge of your seat!

A Gripping Movie
keachjon5 June 2022
The writer and director do a very good job in creating the story with compelling characters and achieving that with their actors.
The main character does an excellent job showing strength and perseverance and not allowing herself to succumb to the abuse brought on by her captor.
It is an interesting story and finds a way to achieve both aspects of a thriller and horror genre. It stays away from traits found in modern horror films that have become cliche.
A very good film to keep you gripped to see how the actress will overcome the torment she endures throughout the film.

Well Made Horror/Thriller
conspirotus22 June 2022
This film was, in my opinion, exciting, thrilling, and an overall entertaining film to watch. It delivered the necessary chills, to keep its audiences fully awake, and engaged. This was a great achievement for the director James Cullen Bressack. He created a well-deserved horror/thriller, without the necessary clichés. The film is not too scary that it becomes unwatchable, so the full potential of its enormity will not be missed. Actress Yulia Klass (Alice) plays remarkably well as the victim. There are twists and turns that keep you intrigued.
Definitely two thumbs uo for me.

A real gripping and tightly directed horror movie
troyromaine2 June 2022
Movies like Captors are the ones that makes us believe in the horror genre. It is because of such movies we like to see horror/thriller movies. Let me tell you that after watching Captors I wanted to watch it again because after a long time I got to see a real gripping and tightly directed horror movie. The movie is very exciting and has a lot of goosebumps.
Psychological horror films
kristopherplante2 June 2022
From the first minute to last this film twists and turns you until you feel bad for Alys played amazingly by Yulia Klass. Similar to movies like Saw, the all-round Grittiness that director James Cullen Bressack creates disgusts and enthralls. Without spoiling there is a H U G E twist that makes your blood curdle. Must see if you like psychological horror films!
Intelligent screenplay and shock value
albertwest3 June 2022
The movie Captors is something that comes around every so often like Saw. A small budget film with minimal dialogue but it is done with such intelligent screen play and shock value. Captors will be known for its incredible twists that no one saw coming and it blew me away.
BRILLIANT THRILLER!!
kshdzvgk21 June 2022
I love this movie. I just loved everything about it. Not only does this movie create an extremely tense atmosphere from start to end, it has plenty of violence to keep you on the edge of your seat. I LOVE that ending. With little known actors like Yulia Klass she did an incredible job acting in these types of horrific situations. This film was, in my opinion, exciting, thrilling, and an overall entertaining film to watch. It delivered the necessary chills, to keep the audience fully awake, and engaged.
The director created a well-deserved horror/thriller, without the necessary cliches. I don't care what anyone says Captors is a brilliant horror movie. 10/10. Love it.
