Films similar to our idea

The disappearance of Alice Creed (2009)

This film is about a rich man's daughter is held captive in an abandoned apartment by two former convicts who abducted her and hold her ransom in exchange for her father's money. The kidnappers Vic and Danny convert a nondescript flat into a prison for their hostage, Alice. Our film, snatched is similar to this as the hostage is a young female whom is held in a room of a house that has been converted into a prison. As well as this, it focuses later on in the film how a future victim escapes, in a plot twist by attempting to fool the kidnapper, similar to Alice Creed’s attempt to double-cross her kidnappers. She also gets beaten and tortured which is similar to our kidnappers sick intentions.

Scrapbook (2000)

This film has similarities to ours, as the kidnapper collects photos of his victims and stores them in a scrapbook; which is comparable to ours because our kidnapper takes photos of his victims being tortured and hangs them on a line for him to enjoy looking at. This idea of documenting victims of a serial kidnapper shows a direct link from ‘Scrapbook’ to ‘Snatched’. As well as this, the film involves the hostage’s inability to escape and their methods to try to do so.

Memento (2000)

Our opening sequence idea took inspiration from this film as polaroid’s are used to convey a story to the audience. In this opening sequence a rewound video of a polaroid forming is shown, which has resemblance to the room where our film begins, in which polaroid’s are displayed which form a story of a young girls torture experience. This film provided us with an idea to display a story within single photos that ultimately formed a hostage’s experience.
