Although I gave this film 2 stars and didn't like it as a whole, it did have some interesting moments. I think that if the director didn't include the B-storyline of the friend looking for Monica, it would've been a better film. The acting was pretty bad on that side of things. I would've liked the film to have focused on the dynamics between the man and Monica. 

I will also say that the ending was a little abrupt for me. I know this film was "based on true events", which makes it pretty tragic. But what I found more tragic is that the story wasn't presented to the viewer better.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

The thriller genre features suspense, tension, and excitement. These stories are known for keeping audiences on the edge of their seats and delivering intense emotional experiences by revolving around high-stakes situations, dangerous conflicts, and the constant anticipation of unexpected events.

Monica Andrews (Lee Anne Beaman) dreams of finding her soul mate -- and her handsome new beau, Scott Dawson (Hal Adams), may be the man she's been waiting for. But Prince Charming soon reveals his true colors as a veritable Marquis de Sade, holding Monica captive and caged like an animal in his basement. As Scott methodically saps his prisoner of her strength and sanity, her concerned best friend (Toni Zobel) may be Monica's only hope.
