A night of unimaginable terror awaits twelve-year-old Bobby and his best friend, Kevin, when they are abducted on their way home from school. Managing to escape his confines, Bobby navigates the dark halls, praying his presence goes unnoticed as he avoids his captor at every turn. Even worse is the arrival of another stranger, whose mysterious arrangement with the kidnapper may spell certain doom for Kevin. With no means of calling for help and miles of dark country in every direction, Bobby embarks on a rescue mission, determined to get himself and Kevin out alive... or die trying. (Shudder)

A mindless "horror" film about a couple who kidnap two boys, one of whom escapes, wanders around the house, occasionally stumbles upon the kidnappers, sometimes there are chases, sometimes some blood is spilled, a little suspense here and there, and once a new character appears. A huge problem are the uninteresting characters, to whom you don’t manage to form a bigger bond, and so all the tension fizzles out, as you don’t really care deep down what happens to the boys. The cinematography is good, the visuals are mediocre, the gore and atmosphere are scarce, the behaviour of the characters is sometimes insanely stupid. It might not be a huge bummber in the end, but it's definitely not a good movie experience either. Bland, without any point and I won't remember it the day after tomorrow. I'd like to say that the directors have improved their reputation after the failure of The Djinn this year, but unfortunately I don't see why I'd give this film a boost in the ratings.
