Fairly standard paranoid thriller fare.

The plot:
Jill’s a bit bonkers. A few years back, she was abducted and thrown into a deep hole, only escaping when the man responsible came to do Christ knows what to her, smacking him on the head with a bit of spare bone lying about from a previous victim.
Now, popping pills, the police refuse to believe her when her sister suddenly vanishes. Not being the vanishing sort, Jill is convinced that the abductor is back, and using her sister as a lure to finish off what he started…..

It’s Ok.
Bit silly, but Ok.
Everything just kind of falls into place as the movie works along. Jill finds out a bit of information, goes to point A, finds out a bit more information, goes to point B, and so on until the movie ends.
If you haven’t guessed what’s going to happen after about five minutes, please, go seek help. You need it.
Amanda Seyfried puts in a decent turn as Jill, a paranoid, once institutionalised young woman whom no-one believes when weird things start happening around her. Seyfried is, of course, best known for her role opposite Megan Fox in Jennifer’s Body in which she plays a paranoid, institutionalised young woman whom no-one believes when weird things start happening around her.
Fancy that.
Efficiently directed.
Efficiently performed.
Efficiently written.
This is some efficient shit.
But that’s all.
