#Captured



In the age where we can just type in a name or a few chosen words and up pops a profile, a picture, even a video someone has posted and we get a look into their life. Some choose to use it to be heard, others choose it to be famous, but what happens when we abuse this luxury, and what happens when someone decides such sinful acts don't belong on the internet?

Being filmed from the point of view of the killer and through images captured by computers, phones, even a droid, we watch the lives of seven teenagers unfold as an unknown killer stalks them.
Ashley (Lizzie Gordon) a senior who has transferred to a new school after an incident at her old school is soon befriended by Hailey (Gabrielle Romanello) and Jenn (Megan Mendellin) who are looking for a replacement for their ex-friend Nicole (Cody Renee Cameron) to join them in their broadcastings of them with their other friends Brock (Charlie Ian), Tony (Cody Bruno) and Cade (Evan Sloan) using drugs and participating in sexual acts.
While they've kept anyone who knows them from learning their dirty secret, they have attracted the attention from an unknown individual that wishes to cleanse the world of their explicit acts and begins plucking them off one by one as he documents their terror until the last moment.

I've seen a lot of documentary-style films taken from the point of view of the electronic device and this one stood out to me like an ominous warning. While it kept the storyline simple and the characters under-developed, it preached the dangers of what you post, for you never know who might be on the other side of the screen. While it didn't terrify me, the reality of it scared me. Lizzie Gordon who also wrote this in my opinion touched on that and brought real fear to life with not much to work with. So to honor that hard work, I'm giving three G.M.Stars and hopefully when this gets posted, it finds all who view it well.
