Well... it's oniric.
borgolarici15 August 2021
The premise is somewhat basic but still intriguing: a troubled young woman receives a call from a mysterious man who seem to have stalked her way too effectively to be real. What follows is a dream like, dark sequence of surreal events that barely make sense and go nowhere.

The ending is completely open to interpretation, as it is everything else. This is the movie equivalent of the Rorschach test, which is an annoying trick.

Poor rendition of "Repulsion" in a bar

(2015) Trapped/ Kristen (In Dutch with English subtitles) PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER

I saw this movie as "Trapped" and not from it's original title "Kristen" produced, written and directed by Mark Weistra that has Kristen (Terence Schreurs) being driven by her boyfriend, Ivan (Poal Cairo) to her dad's bar after hours after the new year, to do some cleaning up. The plan was that she would be dropped off while her boyfriend finds a parking space to park his car. And upon her going down in the basement and then coming up again, someone calls regarding the opening hours of the bar. And when she answers and that exact same person calls again Kirsten tries to derail him by telling him a different name, except that he already knows she is Kirsten.

This is not even meant as entertainment
DavideNit8019 February 2020
This movie is not mneant to be a product for entertainment. It is just a very long advertisement for religion. It is just propaganda, shallow, blatant and pathetic. So blatant that it is only hilarious to make fun of it... if only such a product was not outrageous as well. It is not even too scary, obviously, being just propaganda they probably wanted this movie to be accessible for younger viewers too. I tend to avoid horror movies because I don't like being scared and this one was rather light even for my standards. I would say that it would be depressing more than anything else if it could be taken seriously, but you just can't take seriously something that was so obviously meant to be just brainwash and pathetic propaganda like this movie is. Avoid it, it is only brainwash garbage and it is so blatant that it ends up being laughable.

Sliviastroni or something who gave this movie a 0. Pls come with good arguments what you didn't like about the film..

This is a wel maintained foreign (dutch) horror thriller about a girl named kristen who has to clean up a bar after a party with his boyfriend, but her boyfriend doesn't show up and she gets strange calls from a stranger who knows more about her then anyone alive should.. this movie takes its time to build some good suspence, and will probably raise some questions about why certain things happen and where this is going with the film, but in kristens case thats not a bad thing because this leaves room for the viewer to think for yourself rather then to be explained everything. This movie lends some aspects from other well made movies, but it adds something to the film rather that it tames it down. Kristen is it own little freakish thing that wil get you to the edge of your seat. Rate 7/10

Pleaseeee! Warning: Spoilers
Please!!! I have been looking for a ZERO to rate this....so called ''MOVIE'' but there was no ZERO to pick so I had to make a gift and rate with a 1 which is much for this totally boring,ridiculous and nonsense movie.I was something like expecting a good plot during the first 15 minutes ,but then.... the thing went worse and worse...And the ending is completely stupid.As I have said before,I chose a 1 to rate this ''movie'' because I saw there was no ZERO to pick.Regards from Argentina ...Do not waste your time.Watch ''Scream'' or ''When a Stranger Calls'' again and you will enjoy a real terror film with scary telephone calls...

Stick with it
kosmasp1 October 2020
The beginning is quite ... annoying or at least it may feel like it is dragging to a degree. And for some this may feel like the most part of the movie. If you stick with it though, you will get an interesting movie. An allegory and a lot of questions (that you can feel free to answer yourself). If you are into that sort of movie, that doesn't spoon feeds you things, you will cherish this. Especially when it comes towards the ending ... very well done visually and aesthetically speaking.

The central performance is great and you will be able to catch on, that something is wrong or what is wrong very early on I think. If not you will be a bit frustrated about certain decisions ... hopefully you're into the movie and enjoy the ride ... if not it can be draining for sure

Doesn't deserve more than a few lines
sonicaxy18 January 2021
No need to write more than a few lines about it. It's a really bad movie. Pointless scenes, meaningless conversations. A production that is kept too long and contains logical errors. I do not see it worth spending time.

Surprisingly interesting
victorpfigueiredo9 September 2018
It is practically a monolog... But the tense moments and suspense manage to carry the story and the viewers towards the end. I confess I was scared at some moments and afflict at others. In short, it was great to watch it on a Saturday night.

Scary and engaging
jose-216514 September 2019
I give it 9 stars for the ability of the director to create suspense and thrill, and the engaging, realistic and brilliant performance of Terence Schreurs in the role of Kristen.
