Captifs (2010)
2/10
The hell was that?
29 August 2023
First off, i'd like to say, that the people that are playing the Serbians, are not SERBIANS. They casted people from OTHER COUNTRIES to play the two gangsters, and the doctor! A SERBIAN FILM (That i have problems with as well), was made before this movie, couldn't they oh maybe pick people from that movie, to act for this one the Serbian criminals, or other Serbian actors???

Now lets get into the writing. The idea of the movie, a gang group capturing people, in order to sell their organs, sounds creative, and would of been fun. However, this was made in such a way, that it turns really, really boring.

None of our characters have any depth. All three of these French people, mind you yes, FRENCH medical staff in KOSOVO, have zero depth, i did not care for any of these people, because why? The movie does what a lot of other films do, zero personality, zero anything, you have to care because they are human beings.

There was a scene in this, with an eyeball that was supposed to be removed, i was actually waiting for the eyeball to be pulled out, but no. They managed to ruin that scene as well, i was hoping for a disturbing scene, there wasn't a single disturbing scene in this movie.

The actors that play the Serbians, barely speak Serbian. They mumble for the most of the movie. Couldn't they casted Serbian actors for this??? This movie made my brain melt. If you want to watch good torture, fictional snuff, go watch Martyrs, Grotesque, Hostel, Guinea Pig 1, The Butcher, American Guinea Pig 1, Undocumented, at least those movies are either interesting or disturbing. This was neither interesting or disturbing.

You know, i was really hoping to like this, because that cover-art reminds me of MARTYRS, the only movie in my life that i have seen too many times, in a quick period, and i still love it. But no, sadly did not enjoy this at all.

However, this is still not the worst thing ive seen this year. Oh hell no, there's really terrible stuff i've seen this year like: American Antichrist, Shopping Tour and The Big Feast for example.

You know, if this movie was cut in half, i think i would of been better but sadly, it drags too much for me to enjoy it. This is for the same people that like The Evil Dead, The Collector, Wrong Turn, all of that plotless boring, annoying horror.
