Kidnapping serves as a central theme in various well-known films, spanning different genres. In action-packed thrillers or nerve-wracking horror stories, the portrayal of this terrifying act engages audiences profoundly. This storyline creates a thrilling premise that captivates viewers from start to finish. SSP prepared top 5 kidnapping movies.

 Fresh (2022)

Starring Sebastian Stan and Daisy Edgar-Jones, "Fresh" is a thrilling film that explores the mysterious dynamic between Noa and the charming Steve. What initially seems romantic quickly spirals into a terrible situation when Noa agrees to a weekend getaway.

Recommended by Reddit user PhantomKitten73, "Fresh" adeptly blends horror and thriller elements. Its engaging storytelling can be disturbing yet thoroughly entertaining, especially due to its satisfying conclusion.

The Disappearance of Alice Creed (2009)

J. Blakeson's film, "The Disappearance of Alice Creed," weaves a gripping tale about two ex-convicts (played by Eddie Marsan and Martin Compston) who kidnap the wealthy man's daughter, portrayed by Gemma Arterton. They hold her hostage in an abandoned apartment, demanding ransom from her father.

This film surprised many viewers, exceeding expectations. Redditor SanDiablo remarked that its quality astonished them. Another Reddit user echoed this sentiment, sharing its intriguing premise in a separate post.

 I Saw the Devil (2010)

"I Saw the Devil," directed by Jee-woon Kim, is an unsettling South Korean film. The storyline follows a private detective, portrayed by Lee Byung-hun, as he hunts for a serial killer to seek vengeance for murder victims.

On Reddit, user RCH2288 enthusiastically recommended this nuance-filled film. They noted that it perfectly combines both horror and kidnapping elements, capturing the audience’s interest through its thrilling story arc. This film immerses viewers in an intense and gripping narrative experience.

Room (2015)

Featuring Brie Larson in a critically acclaimed performance, "Room" tells the poignant tale of a 24-year-old woman and her five-year-old son. The mother, along with her son Jack (played by Jacob Tremblay), are captives in a windowless room.

A Reddit user cleverly pointed out that while "The Room" isn’t about kidnapping, it captivates its audience's hearts. Lenny Abrahamson’s film impresses with its emotional depth, making it a must-watch for anyone who enjoys thought-provoking dramas. The blend of adult and child performances enhances the storytelling.

Prisoners (2013)

In "Prisoners" director Denis Villeneuve crafts a gripping narrative about the abduction of two young girls. This compelling plot unfolds as Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) takes matters into his own hands. The film stands out for its thrilling characterization and exceptional execution.
