I love this movie so much

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

PROS: For starters, this movie knew exactly what it was and it didn't stray from that. There was nothing fancy, nothing creative, however, there was just enough to keep you engaged. The problem I find with horror movies today is that they try to pave their own path instead of making the path they already have more detailed. To further explain why I love this movie, is the fact that the acting was terrific. The whole idea of who the characters were supposed to be had just enough pizazz and just enough stability for you to like and then dislike some of them at the same time. The last thing that I liked was the plot. Everything that made up the movie had its own personality. I liked that KEPT WOMAN followed an idea and gradually grew from upon that idea.CONS: The thing that I would say was most disappointing was the end portion of the movie. The climax of the movie, although very intense, was also quite predictable.www.chorror.com

Not only was this movie believable, it was the best Lifetime movie I'd seen in the last 5 years. I had become so bored with the way the movies have morphed into the same online girl looking for love or adventure, or compromised teachers, or killers so silly that I didn't care what they did just as long as I could turn the channel. This story line was carefully written and pieced together, with great acting, so that it kept be on the edge of my seat throughout. The foreshadowing and clues leading to the climax and ending couldn't have been better. The movie deserves a second viewing to catch every aspect of the suspenseful writing. Wonderful...can't say enough good things about this movie.

After a frightening apartment robbery, attractive graphic designer Courtney Ford (as Jessica "Jess" Crowder) and her handsome fiancé Andrew W. Walker (as Evan Crowder) move into a picturesque suburban house. They are immediately welcomed by quirky-looking neighbor Shaun Benson (as Simon), a professor in "Men's Studies." He comes from a 1950s "traditional background," having a father who worked and a mother who cooked. Also an amateur crime investigator, Ms. Ford does not cook. She doesn't watch "Lifetime" TV Movies, either, or she would have known better than to get too chummy with quirky neighbors..."Kept Woman" follows the formula for making these television movies fun. A great looking cast in an abduction fantasy, with some subtle humor; it's marvelously played. Michel Poulette's direction and the cool set design are quite nice, so stay tuned. The opening scenes are not strong, but they move the story along quickly. It would have been nice to build up more suspense between Ford and Mr. Benson, who is positively delicious as the male chauvinist professor. The "family" formed by Benson could have been further developed, also. Still, it's better to leave viewers expecting to see more, than wanting to see less.****** Kept Woman (2/28/15) Michel Poulette ~ Courtney Ford, Shaun Benson, Andrew W. Walker, Rachel Wilson

This is such a diabolical plot. Having walked in on a burglary in their home, a young couple move to the suburbs to escape the so called crime in the city. What they come upon in their new digs is just too incredible to believe. Their neighbor is a young college professor who waits until the couple has a tiff and invites the woman to his home.He then proceeds to kidnap the woman and place her in the basement in a bunker like atmosphere. Another woman, totally complacent and in a trance is also being held there.The only way our recent victim can survive is to play along with her captive. This provokes eventual jealousy from the other woman and gets the latter killed.A cop friend of the couple meets a similar fate when he begins to suspect what is occurring. Our killer sends emails to her boyfriend telling him that she has left him for another man.Playing along is the only way for survival and eventual freedom. Quite eerie to say the least.
