Review of Chained

Chained (I) (2012)
4/10
A little too creepy and depressing for its own good
28 May 2023
The movie started off excellently, very intense and creepy. The concept of abducting someone as a child and trying to raise him to be a serial killer is intriguing. Vincent Onofrio gave a chilling performance. His character totally disgusted me

But the movie really dragged in the middle portions, where Onofrio kills random victims and interacts with Rabbit in their home. I just had a feeling like, "Ok, let's move this plot along now"

I also did not like the twist at the end, which was so far fetched and Hollywood-ish.

Another issue is that, while Onofrio did his job by acting creepy, I feel that his creepyness at times got to uncomfortable. The setting was also so depressing (intentionally). I was tempted to turn the movie off because of my disgust, and I know for sure that I will never want to rewatch this movie ever again.
