New to Netflix thriller called Prisoners was excellent

I watched it about 10 years ago. I remember freaking out about how great the make up looked on the beating that they gave the van guy

tons of tie ins throughout the movie

Tie ins to what?

Probably one of the darker, grittier movies I've ever seen.

I remember seeing it in theaters. It didn't seem to get a lot of attention when it came out but it's definitely a good one.

Probably many people's first introduction to Denis Villeneuve.

Great film.

Villeneuve doesn't miss

Anything Directed by Denis Villeneuve, watch it.
- Dune
- Blade Runner 2049
- Arrival
- Sicario
- Enemy
- Prisoners

I watched this movie last night based on this thread. Great Movie. Makes me paranoid as frick to let my kids go out in the neighborhood unattended though. realizing who the retarded guy really was...But I still could not figure who the abductors were until the mazes started popping up.

Watched last night for the first time. Enjoyed the movie and prob needs a rewatch. Got some questions (spoilers):




Never understood the maze thing. Was never explained?

The woman at the end when putting the dad in the hole mentioned ‘they’d come back and kill her’. Who were they???? I’m guessing part of the bigger cult? In the little black girls images there were multiple men chasing after them.

Never fully understood the purpose of the kidnappings. Not a sex trade scenario. Not an adoption scheme. Why were they kidnapping and killing kids? Usually serial killers will have an explained motive.

and the side show copycat was just sorta weird and over the top considering he had no involvement.

At the end of the day I can’t imagine being caught in this scenario. The van guy specifically. I could never bring harm to a human like that without absolute proof. Even then. I’d wish them dead, not witness the horror of torture.

Very disturbing movie.
