Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

stsinger Top-notch Dutch thriller. Story involves Eva, a first-year veterinary student and aspiring actress. Just after moving into a new apartment, she finds herself captured and chained to a cot by a nameless/faceless abductor. And that's really all you can say about the plot without giving too much away. The story kept me surprised all the way, and I've seen hundreds of thrillers. Every time you think you've settled in and know where it's going, it makes a twist, and every one of them makes perfect sense within the context of the film. The acting (especially from leads Carolien Spoor and Dragan Bakema) is solid and believable and this is an outstanding thriller from beginning to end.And just to make clear for those who might make assumptions based on my limited synopsis -- although it does involve someone trapped, this is in absolutely no way part of the "Torture Porn" genre (although I hate that name, you all know what I mean). Not in any way, shape or form. Overall, "Claustrofobia" is a superior thriller and definitely worth seeking out. Apparently, this was originally an on-line film, but it's available on DVD from Amazon with clear, removable subtitles.

jonny-gould13 Claustrofobia is a thriller film about the desperate extent to which a person will go for revenge on someone who played what is explained as a "practical joke" on him. The film makes sure that you never know what is coming next however, despite a few inconsistencies. When you think you know why everything is in its place, suddenly a twist happens and the viewer is made to rethink their theory, for example the fate of Danny de Koning the detective. The main problem I found with this film is that a lot of the characters' motives are unexplained, or the explanation given does not stand up when subjected to logic. On the whole though, I would recommend this film highly, as it keeps the viewer holding on, wanting to know what happens, and is tense and exciting at some of its best moments. A word of warning however. Don't watch this film if you are expecting a horror movie. There is a lot of blood, but it isn't scary, and I would classify it as a thriller over a horror movie.

trashgang Now and then out of the Netherlands comes a horror. They are called Netherhorror and I surely would add this one on that list. The story is easy to follow and even as it doesn't have gore or messy situations it still delivers. It starts with a young boy following a teenage girl. The girl promises that he may kiss her if he dares to be locked in a mortuary. He agrees, once locked up the girls ran away. We move further a few years with nothing explained. It's up to the viewer to solve the case. If you are a bit cleaver it is easy to follow. Even as we don't go too deep into the characters still you want to know what is going on. The acting was okay, only Dragan Bakema as Alex Purvis wasn't convincing all the time. All the thespians are known for people living in the Netherlands, but aren't big names. Somehow it reminded me of Caged (2011), another Netherhorror. Gore 1/5 Nudity 1/5 Effects 2/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

Wicky_be Don't be fooled by the high IMDb rating for this movie as it's just a sorry attempt at a 'thriller'.All thriller clichés pass the revue, so you're watching with a 'been there seen that' attitude. The 'script' (really, there was a script here ?) is laughable and has so many holes that you wonder at the end of the movie: "really, he did all this but couldn't come up with 1,000,000 easier solutions to avoid this mess ?".The acting is bad and none of the characters is portrayed in a way that you would sympathise with them. All of the above results in a movie that's watchable, but not enjoyable.
