A clear steal from Last House on the Left, but it's an excellent, strategic horror bite from famous Italian king of scares Mario Bava.

A solid hostage thriller. I thought the camerawork was really excellent; for a movie that takes place in a car for about 75% of it, you forget that there's a camera there at all. Bava does a great job of putting you inside the tense atmosphere of the automobile. Also, the ending is dynamite, really took me by surprise and puts everything in a new light. But the characters of Bisturi and "Thirty-Two" were really obnoxious. All that gratuitous psychopathy and evil cackling was way over-the-top.

Considering the subject matter, the film is pretty timid and lacks the bite of films like "Last House on the Left" without being any less trashy, really. But the ending is pretty excellent (I'll admit it caught me off guard), and it does have its moments.

Crushingly claustrophic with a cruel sweaty intensity, Bava proved again here that his non-gothic seventies pictures were considerably more powerful. A rich vein of bleak nihilism courses through the picture and it remains gripping all the way to the black hearted conclusion, a must for any fan of Bava.

See past the occasionally goofy acting and cheesy dubbing, and this movie is actually very intense and engrossing. With Kidnapped (as well as with other films), Bava proves his ability to direct a variety of styles and genres. Here he creates such a feeling of dirt and grime and immorality. First we dislike these immoral characters, then we are sickened by their depravity, only to have the tables turned upside down on is in one of the best endings in movie history. Bava is just fantastic.

Bava establish a harsh mood, an unyielding rawness through fervent close-ups (and ultra close-ups) and smart use of a simple, naturalistic mise-en-scène in this fraught bastard. Brilliant and sweaty.

Decent suspense film. If it wasn't for the ending I would have forgotten about it immediately though.
