Description
When an apparently exemplary cop abducts and secretly imprisons a beautiful dancer, a deadly battle of wills between captor and captive ensues.
Policeman Krebs is considered a respectable figure in his town, but he has a hidden sinister side he’s waiting to unleash. When he comes across badly beaten exotic dancer Gina one night, he lures her into his car, promising to help her, then forces her into a tiny homemade cell in his basement. Krebs proceeds to psychologically torture her, putting her through relentless mind games. Gina fights to remain mentally stable as she devises a plan for escape.
“Sublime, strange, and hugely entertaining. For fans of Hopper and Argento, it’s an essential curiosity.” – Alexander on Film
“The film is much more entertaining than I thought it would be. Argento, Shaver, and Hopper can be very watchable and the script strays off into some unexpected directions.” – Movie House Commentary
“Hopper at times carries this film on his back with his highly compelling performance. Asia Argento is easy on the eyes and does a perfectly capable job in the role of the captive. Overall it’s a pretty decent and entertaining little movie. It will hold you to the end and not leave you feeling ripped off.” – IMDb
