Despite the fact that Denton, and everyone else involved, is guilty of scores of felonies, including kidnapping, assault, rape, and murder, he locates his secret plantation inside an amusement park with apparently no security around it, not even a wall to prevent the abducted people from escaping.

User Reviews

This is my first review on IMDB. I saw the movie yesterday and found it very good. The negative comments are in no justice to this film. Sure it's not a horrormovie and the adds around this film are misleading.

Antebellum is an original movie, has a great performance of the lead actress, an unpredictable script and an important message. Don't expect to see a gripping horrorflick, but a gripping good film
