Captivity… isn’t terribly unique and there are some decent sized plot holes that might be a bit hard to ignore. There are some moments that are so ridiculous you’ll be screaming at the screen and begging for the characters to die. The cliched unseen killer in black gloves pissed off a lot of people off although I thought it worked and helped the tense vibe of the movie.

I guess what I’m trying to say is Captivity isn’t a perfect movie. It has many, many flaws. So why should you watch it? Because Captivity also has Elisha Cuthbert (TV’s 24, House of Wax) and she’s crazy hot. If that isn’t reason enough, there’s also some excellent gore and some real scares. It’s creepy, frightening and looks good. Plus… Elisha. Nuff said.
