Captivity Website and Trailer

[Andrew]

Interesting looking film.  People are abducted, in this case an attractive young woman, and then their captor plays serious mind games with them.  You can see the trailer on the website (it plays once you enter).

Is this the same film which sparked controversy a while back with their poster advertising campaign?  I remember seeing some interesting movie posters of people 'trapped' such as one which looked like a bus-stop ad which made it look like someone was trapped against the window by some concrete or something.

If so, I was interested just based on the fact that they posters looked pretty good, nice to have someone try and push things a bit, even if it is controversy for the sake of publicity.  Gotta mess with the status quo everynow and then...

I hadn't heard of this one before the press release hit my box.  It looks like a pretty serious story.  For some reason, people who make thrillers always get campy at some point (think, "Sliver") and this didn't give me that vibe.
