SYNOPSIS
A night of unimaginable terror awaits twelve-year-old, Bobby, and his best friend, Kevin, when they are abducted on their way home from school. Managing to escape his confines, Bobby navigates the dark halls, praying his presence goes unnoticed as he avoids his captor at every turn. Even worse is the arrival of another deranged stranger, whose mysterious arrangement with the kidnapper may spell certain doom for Kevin. With no means of calling for help and miles of dark country in every direction, Bobby embarks on a rescue mission, determined to get himself and Kevin out alive…or die trying.
REVIEWS

- Schokkendnieuws.nl: Nét wanneer je denkt dat de film alle varianten van het kat-en-muisspel wel zal hebben uitgeput, geeft een handjevol verrassingen de film weer een nieuwe wending en spanningsboog. Zo houden Powell en Charbonier je de volle anderhalve uur op het puntje van je stoel.
