    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The film was heavily re-shot to turn it from a thriller to a torture/horror film. This is extremely evident in Elisha Cuthbert's hairstyle. It changes throughout the movie. In the first shoot her hair was more of a shag style, while in the re-shoot it is all one length. Her hair often changes in the middle of scenes (e.g. running from one room with a shag style but entering the next room with different hairstyle.)
    • Goofs
      Right after the car goes forward and rams the garage door, the view from inside the car when it starts to back up shows an undamaged door.

      Ben: [to his younger brother] You're the insider, I'm the outsider.

    • Alternate versions
      Much of the gore has been edited out to get an R-rating in the United States and also for the UK release. The Spanish release is uncut.

    Reasonable effort
    You see I saw another movie yesterday (9 July 07) about being trapped in a room which may have been to the detriment of Captivity. While in general the idea was good there was something not quite thrilling enough. Captivity borrowed from a smattering of other movies without really living up to any of them.

    It was nice to see Elisha doing something different, and as always pleasant enough to see her in a film.. but I felt little empathy for her character or indeed, that of her companion.

    Not psychological enough to be another Silence of the Lambs or 1408, and not horror / gore enough to be another Saw, Cube or Hostel.
