Captivity: Review

If critics offended by the rise of the horror-movie subgenre derisively tagged "torture porn" need a prime suspect to haul before a morality court, the first 20 minutes of this brutal kidnapping thriller from Roland Joffe (the fiend who cast Demi Moore in the 1996 adaptation of THE SCARLET LETTER) should do the trick. Successful actress/model Jennifer Tree's (Elisha Cuthbert) pretty face can be seen plastered across buses, billboards and magazine kiosks all over New York ... read more leave a comment

Out of Captivity, Elisha Cuthbert Is Ready for More 24 | Today's News: Our Take | 7/12/2007
Maybe Kim Bauer didn't have it so rough after all. In the new horror flick Captivity (hitting theaters this Friday the 13th), 24 alumna Elisha Cuthbert stars as Jennifer, a cover girl and America's sweetheart. The beauty meets a beast, though, when Jennifer is drugged, abducted and held captive in a cell, where she is subjected to a series of terrifying tortures born of a sadistic mind. So perverse is her peril that the promotional posters for Captivity came under fire a few months back and even jeopardized the film's fate. TVGuide.com stole a few minut read more
24's Elisha Cuthbert "Shocked" by Torture-porn Flap | Today's News: Our Take | 6/21/2007
Come mid-July — Friday the 13th, in fact — the latest salvo in the "torture-porn" genre hits theaters, though for a moment there, it was questionable whether Captivity would ever see the dark of the moviehouse. In March, MPAA-unauthorized ads for the flick leaked out, drawing more than a little controversy for their depiction of Elisha Cuthbert in assorted states of grisly distress. Appearing Thursday at the Times Square Planet Hollywood to immortalize her handprints in cement, Cuthbert told TVGuide.com she was "actually shocked" by the outcry, "because a lot of films out right now, like [the] Saw and Hostel [series], have sort of 'raised the bar' as far as the genre goes." That said, she readily admits the controversy is of "the good kind that goes along with a horror film."I then steered the topic to 24, which, with what is rumored to be a mostly CTU-free "new day" coming up, may call for Kim Bauer's return, should Jack be desperate for a lifeline. "I'll be waiting by th... read more
