Kept Woman-480P

Moviecut—Kept Woman

A good b grade level thriller which holds you until the end . The villain Simon is well played by Shaun Benson . The film has a few twists : it did remind me of a few real life cases where someone was kept in the basement against their will.

A couple have their flat broken into. They go inside BEFORE phoning the police, and promptly get more stuff stolen by the homeless guy still there, who holds them at gunpoint. Deciding to move house, they end up living next door to a weirdo who dresses like a throwback to the 50's. He abducts the female to keep as his own personal slave in an underground shelter, making her a 'kept woman'. Will she ever escape? Can she ever rid herself of the awful dresses she's forced to wear? And who'd thought the police force could be so stupid? Yes, I KNOW this is supposed to be a Made For TV Movie, but c'mon... the creep in the dapper suits and bow tie has been linked to the disappearances of students and has even been questioned by the police... So why isn't he linked to the investigation? Who knows. And the fact the husband believes his wife left him permanently after the most minor of arguments, leaving behind her phone and various other possessions... Hear that creaking noise? That's credibility being stretched to breaking point. Still, it's not all bad. The movie paints a picture of a claustrophobic environment well, where Stockholm Syndrome can easily set in and your old life could soon fade to a distant memory. The acting is of a higher calibre than usual for this kind of production, and the intense moments scattered throughout will probably have you watching until the end. Until the climax, that is... When all the subtlety and understatement goes out the window in favour of a brainless violent confrontation, not to mention the cheesiest of 'uplifting' messages tacked on as an addendum. Yawn. Still, seen much worse. Oh, yes I have... 5/10

I support all things Canadian so I gave this movie a go. Of course we all know that Canada doesn't have the huge Hollywood budgets. So if you go in knowing that, then you'll enjoy this movie. A bit far fetched at times, even a bit surreal. But overall a nice flowing story. Acting was solid, again considering the cast isn't Hollywood A listers. I recommend this movie to any true movie fan.

There have been quite a few locked in the basement abductions and kidnappings with Ariel Castro in the news. This is an obvious fictional but neat and slightly glossy version that works well in a TV movie. A young couple Courtney Ford and Andrew Walker flee the city after a break in and move to a suburb. Their neatly dressed, pleasant but slightly eccentric looking neighbor is well played by Shaun Benson. When he decides to keep her in the basement where there is a prettily set up home and another woman, the creepiness is quite well done. Things are kept plausible enough even if the basement is a little too attractive and efficiently done. Lesson: Sometimes the City is safer than the burbs.

Suspicious about 'extra groceries', really? Im a single woman who brings in 150$ (5-6 bags) worth of groceries at a time because I hate shopping. I end up with a lot of throw-away, unfortunately. He had 2 bags of groceries and she's suspicious of that. A stretch to produce a plot. That's the ridiculousness of this movie. I'm kind of shocked at the average 6.2 rating. This Is definitely a far-below-average movie. The dialogue is corny, the plot, stupid, the 'based on a true story', absurd, the acting, OTT and subpar, it's totally corny. I've seen FAR better movies with a lesser rating.. perhaps people are rating on a Lifetime movie scale? If you enjoy the after school soap opera, maybe its great. If not, don't bother.

very poor credibility, and bad acting by lead female. credibility: a woman goes into a house of her neighbor who she has suspicions about. her fiancée should have immediately been suspecting foul play by, among other things, the fact that she left he cell phone back. the police should have been more suspicious of her neighbor. I thought she did a horrible acting job, at least when she was first there, as she did not seem nearly as distraught as she should be at the potential of her horrifying fate. it was an intriguing story and did have its moments.
