Our take
In this 2026 thriller, Tommy, a foul-mouthed 19-year-old, wakes chained in a family's basement after a night of drugs and violence. Reviews describe captivity, mind games, one beating, smoking and social-media clips of bullying and joyriding. Psychological tension outweighs graphic gore, but drug culture, profanity and abuse themes stay mature throughout.
Uplifting themes
The story questions reform and attention-seeking more than offering clear lessons
Story (may spoil tone)
Tommy, a volatile 19-year-old, revels in drugs, parties and violence. After getting separated from his friends on a drunken bender, he is abducted by a shadowy figure. He wakes to find himself imprisoned in the basement of a remote Yorkshire house, inhabited by a very strange family. But what unfolds is not what he could possibly expect.
