Gripping story with well-crafted characters

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I read in the trivia section that the script was written in 2 days, which becomes deathlessly obvious in the first 15 minutes. Of the two leads only one, the female, shows any ability and emotional range. The actor playing David is dire - he delivers his lines in a wooden Manchunian monotone, making his co-star work extra hard to lift the film above the level of film-school graduation piece.The idea for the film is fairly standard misogynist fare - independent career woman is kidnapped by an apparent genius-level psychopath, who (gasp) knows just what's best for the liddle lady, keeping her captive in an attempt to make her fall in love with him. This means engaging in a series of painstakingly awkward "dates" designed to challenge her preconception of what she expects in a partner and result in true L-O-V-E. As these dates seem to mainly involve forcing his captive into excruciating dinners followed by fully- clothed shared baths and throwing popcorn at each other, in between tying her to a chair, one rather wonders what sort of eye-swivelling, sticky-palmed loons the poor woman was used too. Before we know it, our heroine (in a desperate attempt to push the plot to any sort of conclusion me-thinks) has submitted to her captor in a spot of rapey foreplay and, in a twist that I can't quite remember as I was losing the power of sight and hearing by then, declares undying love for Mr Monotone. One extra ridiculo-twist completes 1 hour 20 minutes of utter nonsense. I've only given it 3 stars as the female lead was good and had nice eyebrows.

Here's a plot that has been covered a few times over the years - Stockholm syndrome. As creepy as the guy is (he really did his homework in stalking her before kidnapping her), I eventually found myself rooting for him over the course of the movie. And at the same time, right now, right after I finished watching it, I feel ashamed of myself for falling into the all too obvious trap. I don't know what to make of it.... maybe I should see a therapist. But the point is that this low budget movie, these first time actors and first time director (if I understand correctly) kept me glued to the screen the whole time. And I get easily bored with movies if they don't hold my interest, especially in the beginning.Great job! p.s. I friggin' hated 50 Shades of Grey.

"This movie gave hopes to me and my friend ,who has a dream to make short film and movies on our own."Its basically a story ,I can can say short story about a genius British guy,who is a strong believer of science.He is socially introvert and a little uptight .After being a failure in finding a perfect match for him in so called traditional method of dating ,he decide to do its in way of science .He took the data of all suitable women in that area and put a algorithm to search and narrow a match down for him.And he find one .Now kidnaps a woman and convinced that by following certain psychological steps and well planned charm, her brain will have no choice but to trigger feelings of love towards him. Well lets see if science can calculate love.

When I saw this movie at the Fantasia Festival during summer I didn't really excepted a horror movie with gore like you can see at this festival. What really attracted me toward this film is what I like to call a "situation movie". In most of them there's a few character (2-4) in the whole movie, the story happen in almost a single place and mostly there's a character development/evolution through the whole movie. Which is the case in Twisted Seduction.One of the strength of this movie is in my opinion a well written story, the dialogues between the two characters were really good, funny, disturbing and somewhat cute in some part. It's a bit complicated to put this movie in a genre so to speak but don't let that stop you from watching it if you have the chance.
