Talking to a family friend about my dad getting the Spanish Horror Timecrimes,I got told about a very similar movie starring Melissa George called Triangle. While finding out details between the two,I spotted a film starring George which has not come out on UK DVD, that was about to leave Netflix UK,which led to me getting set to witness the betrayal.
The plot:
Driving to the airport to pick up her husband Kevin,Jamie and her son Michael get caught in a crash that knocks them out. Waking up,Jamie finds herself being held hostage in a secret location. Screaming out to ask the kidnappers what they want,Jamie soon learns that Kevin has betrayed her trust.
View on the film:
Held captive in one room, Melissa George gives a captivating performance as Jamie. Terrified over the hostage takers watching her every move,George subtly expresses the sharp determination that grips Jamie as the betrayal becomes clear. Speaking behind a door for the opening 30 minutes, Oded Fehr gives a wonderfully creepy performance as Alec/"The Voice",whose voice is given a calculating menace by Fehr.
Initially looking like a "Torture Horror" flick,writer/director Amanda Gusack puts the saw down,and turns the screws to a psychological Thriller. Keeping Jamie in one room,the screenplay by Gusack brings to light brief flashback that delve into the things Kevin has kept out of Jamie's sight. Keeping the dialogue brittle, Gusack makes each revelation Alec makes one that coils Jamie's sense of betrayal. Locked in the room with Jamie,Gusack and cinematographer Roger Vernon cover the walls in a metallic grey cutting Jamie off from the world,as Jamie starts to plan her own betrayal.
