Kidnapped - You Thought You Was Safe at Home ( Secuestrados ) is a Spanish-French psychological horror thriller from 2010.

action

In the opening credits, a tied man wakes up with a plastic bag on his head in a small forest. He walks around haphazardly and enters a street where he is hit. He asks the driver to call his family for him and put the cell phone to his ear. The son answers and is warned by the father that she should close the garage as there will be a break-in soon. The son says it is already too late and points to her mother's screams in the background. The opening credits have no direct reference to the film.

A family of three has moved into a new house. On the first evening, three intruders came into the house. While the father drives a burglar to the bank to withdraw money from the family's credit cards, the other two keep his wife and daughter trapped in the house.

When the daughter's friend rings the doorbell, he too is overwhelmed. The two women use the time to hide in a room. The burglars threaten to shoot the friend if they don't open the door. When that doesn't happen because the mother helps the daughter through a window, the boyfriend is shot. One of the burglars intercepts the daughter outside the window, the other hits the door with a sledgehammer.

When a police officer rings the doorbell, one of the burglars pretends to be a husband and asks him to come in for coffee. However, since he cannot find the sugar for the coffee, he panics and stabs the policeman to death.

While one of the men rapes the daughter, the other handcuffs the mother. Since he wants to help the daughter by dragging the other off the bed, a scuffle breaks out between the two intruders. The daughter holed up in a room. When one of the burglars gained access, she kills him with a metal sculpture and then smashes his face with it.

On the way back, the father deliberately had an accident shortly before the house in which the burglar was injured and passed out. When the father arrives at the property with his pistol, the remaining burglar comes out of the house with a sports bag and the policeman's pistol in hand. Both pass each other. The father and daughter untie the mother and the friend who is also bound. When the father tries to call the police with his mobile phone, the awakened burglar with whom the father had caused the accident comes to the house and kills the father with a sledgehammer. The mother shoots him but cannot handle the pistol properly, so the burglar takes it from her and shoots her and her daughter's fleeing friend. Then he stabs the daughter.

criticism

"Spanish psychological thriller, which at the beginning cleverly makes the fears of the threatened family understandable, but then escalates into violence and stylizes the well-fortified citizens into heroes."

Trivia

  • The film has very few cuts. Most settings take tens of minutes.
  • In two places the picture is split in two and two actions take place. There are no cuts in the meantime.
    1. The first two-part scene begins when the two women enter the room in which they are holed up and ends when the daughter is snatched in front of the window and the door is broken through, with a cut to the father. Through the dichotomy, you can see the action of the women and that of the perpetrators.
    2. The second scene begins with the father accelerating for the car accident and the daughter holing up. The ending is organized in such a way that both halves of the picture unite again when the father and daughter meet. A large part of the father's scene, which is filmed from the back seat, consists of the fact that nothing happens a few minutes after the accident and you can hear the continuous sound of the horn that hit his head.
