33 - The Cellar Door

    Summaries of this movie are kind of misleading, suggesting that it's more about a game of wits between captive and captor.  It's not quite that bright.

    A guy keeps a girl captive in a mostly wooden cage/box in his basement.  It's never clear what he intends to do with her, except that there's a gradual implication that he's just looking to make her into an ideal girlfriend.

    The movie starts slow, the middle is pretty decent, then the end of it changes into a very simple breakout and chase/fight movie.  The budget is low, and it's most evident early on.

    I did discover something interesting about it.  It was released as Broken 2 in Germany.  Broken was a similar premise, but was done very well, and was more about enslavement and the process of breaking someone to be a slave.
