I watched this movie because I was looking for recent, highly-rated horror movies on IMDb. I felt pretty misled by the rating which was 6.9 at the time of watching.
The premise of the movie stoked my curiosity. I wondered how a woman being handcuffed to a bed could play out in a movie-length production since there didn't seem to be much to go on. Well, it's even more boring than you would expect.
Don't get me wrong, the acting is not bad and the cinematography was a bit above-average as well. However, the story and dialogue dragged on horribly.
At first, watching the interaction between the older couple feels incredibly awkward--and this is good because I think the film is intended to provoke this feeling. It's as if you are invited over to an older couple's house and they break out into an hour-long passive-aggressive fight in your presence. But it just doesn't stop. The characters make obviously stupid mistakes both in their relationship and in their kink-play. Since they make such stupid mistakes it is incredibly hard to relate to them or care about them.
I kept waiting and waiting for something interesting to happen only to find that there was no pay-off. Avoid this movie if you are a horror fan looking for something scary or exciting. This movie is entirely a drama with some dark elements so maybe watch it if you are more geared towards that genre.
