Not bad, but...
planktonrules26 January 2009
This film is about people held captive and by the end of the film, the lady does what she must to escape.

This film seems to be based on a theme that has apparently become a cliché in short independent films. During the last three or four days, I have seen two other short films about people who have been abducted and held prisoner (ANOTHER LIFE and CAPTIVE). So I have to ask "Why do we need so many similar films and what possible excitement can you get from watching this again and again?!". I haven't even looked for these films--I'm just looking at various shorts posted on IMDb. In addition to this theme, the cold-blooded killer theme is also getting a bit overused as well. I am NOT saying every film needs to be happy, but it is odd that within small independent films, too many are about murder or kidnappings--yet not very many mainstream films are. Something to ponder.

Overall, pretty well made but perhaps they should choose a different topic next time.
