Homebound

About This Movie

Homebound drips with an eerie tension that grips you from the start. The premise is simple yet claustrophobic—a young mother finds herself bound and gagged in the trunk of a moving car, racing against time and her own fear. The film creates a palpable atmosphere of dread, heightened by the minimalist setting and the clever use of practical effects that amplify the realism of her predicament. The pacing is relentless; it doesn’t let you catch your breath. The performance of the lead is raw and visceral, capturing that primal fight for survival. What stands out is the psychological game at play, as the mother must outsmart her captor from such a vulnerable position. It’s a gritty, intense watch that sticks with you.

Homebound has seen limited releases that make it somewhat elusive for collectors. There are a few indie pressings out there, but original formats are hard to come by. Interest in this film seems to be growing among genre enthusiasts, especially considering its intriguing premise and the intense atmosphere. It's one of those hidden gems that doesn’t get the spotlight it deserves, but it’s certainly worth keeping an eye on.
