Shut it off halfway through

Difficult to watch. I guess I don't find watching a pedo kidnap, rape and hold hostage a 14 year old girl in an underground bunker entertainment. I don't know what purpose there was to make a movie about that poor girl's experience. I did a search online to read the outcome after shutting it off and was glad to see that the girl survived the ordeal and the pedo captor is rotting in hell. I love suspense films, but this was to much. I'm still giving it 5 stars though because the actress who played the kidnapped girl was good.

This film did not sensationalize the abduction, rape and kidnapping but I still think these types of films spur copycats

Great jobs by the lead actress Julia Lalonde who played Elizabeth Shaof the victim and by the lead actor Henry Thomas, who played perpetrator Vinson Filyaw. The film packed quite a bit of the true life crime events in the 88 minute film without ever over sensationalizing some of the more horrific moments this young teenager experienced while in captivity.

The stranger danger rule was ignored by Elizabeth Shoaf as she let her guard down when Vinson Filyaw introduced himself and pretended to be a police officer.

This should be a warning for all young girls/women and boys/men to pay attention to your surroundings and ask yourself the "what if" questions before allowing yourself to become thee next victim.

These types of abductions and rapes happen far too often and to some extent the producers have to share the blame for airing shows like these that give that very small percentage of whackadoodles ideas to copycat these heinous crimes.

I give the film a better than average 7 out of 10 IMDB rating.

This was something else...

First of all, I must say that the 2018 movie "Girl in the Bunker" is definitely a movie that is well-worth watching. Why? Well, given the storyline, despite it being something that might not sit well with everyone in the audience, but also because of some good acting performances.

I had not heard about writer and director Stephen Kemp's 2018 movie before now in 2021 when I stumbled upon it by random luck. The movie had an interesting cover which made me pick it up, and the synopsis seemed interesting enough, so of course I gave "Girl in the Bunker" a go.

Now, it should be said that the movie is revolving around a kidnapping and the perpetrator is somewhat of a foul character. But writer and director Stephen Kemp managed to serve the movie in a manner where it is watchable without crossing any lines, as he sets up the scenes that will prove bad and then skips to something else, letting the audience fill in the blanks. And that actually worked quite well in this movie.

I have to admit that I was enthralled by the movie, because it was a story that was well-written and well-told on the screen. The characters in the storyline were very believable and realistic, which definitely helped selling the movie quite nicely. And they had a good cast ensemble as well.

And speaking of the cast, then I must say that I was impressed with Henry Thomas portraying this character, given the nature of the character. Quite a bold move by the actor, but he nailed it with a stellar performance as Vinson Filyaw the kidnapper and sexual predator. And playing the victim Elizabeth Shoaf was actress Julia Lalonde, whom also put on a great performance.

"Girl in the Bunker" was a very entertaining movie, and it was one that definitely surprised me. I can highly recommend you spending the time on the movie, if you have the chance.

My rating of "Girl in the Bunker" lands on a six out of ten stars.
