See the films the platforms disagree about most →A nine-year-old boy is abducted by a serial killer after his mother is murdered. The killer, a taxi driver, keeps the boy chained in his remote house, forcing him to assist in cleaning up after his crimes. Over the years, the boy grows into a young man under the warped tutelage of his captor, who refers to him as his "son." The captive is torn between the instinct to survive by obeying and the desperate need to escape the horrific life that has been forced upon him.
