I love a good home invasion film, but, wow, <I>Kidnapped</I> was something else.
A family, a husband and wife and their 18-year-old daughter, have just moved into their new home, when, on the evening of their arrival, a group of thieves enter.
<I>Kidnapped</i>'s incredibly brutal once the action kicks in, which is almost immediately. Think <I>You're Next</i> meets <I>Funny Games</i>. Throughout the film, the director, through their lens, gave us scene after scene where we felt as if we were there with each family member or villain, experiencing what they were going through.
<B>Final thoughts:</B>
Get taken away with this brutal home invasion flick!

A visceral home invasion that traps you in escalating brutality as a family's fight for survival becomes something darker. The confined setting and mounting violence create relentless tension with no clean resolutions.
