Chained (2012)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
A 9-year-old boy and his mother are kidnapped by a serial-killing taxi driver while at the movies. Mom is quickly bumped off and the boy, now named Rabbit, spends the next decade in miserable servitude and terror. Rabbit’s captor is relentless in his efforts to tear away the last vestige of ‘being alive’ that Rabbit stubbornly clings on to – his own humanity.

Directed by Jennifer Lynch (daughter of David Lynch), Chained is a psychological riptide in the middle of all those questions that seek to answer – Can a psychopath be made and if so, can some resist?

When I saw that Jennifer Lynch directed this I was apprehensive since I had previously seen “Boxing Helena” (1993) which Jennifer directed and I didn’t like it at all. “Chained” is different. It’s pretty good. Vincent D’Onofrio is very convincing as a crazed violent serial killer. The ending seemed a little like it was thrown together at the last minute but it wasn’t bad. 3 and a half stars.

Honestly propably one of the best movies i’ve watched so far on this Topic.
I my self come from a childhoof of abuse and am trying to find similaryties of Unnormal behaivor from my past. I just relized watching this movie that its pretty much 100% Plausable for Rabbit to become that enraged against men who treat woman like shit when i just think about my dad my blood begins to literally boil and i feel so angry that i feel like that i’d might be able to forget morals if he did anything like what he used to do again and i dont even think id flinch anymore if i wintessed it.
Please to all who watched this take it as example of really really really really really inhuman parenting and never do anything he did to your childs dont let them see you be angry at someone you love or are close to bcs if they ever got to think that that’s normal you just raised a murderer who creates murderes out of his own children propably so please if you had a bad childhood and dont have a qlueue about what normal familys look like DONT GET CHILDREN THEY WILL SUFFER FOR LIFE AND IT MIGHT EVEN BE INTERCHANGABLE BY THEN SO JUST DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT HAVING SEX WITHOUT PROTECTION IF YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HOW TO RAIS A CHILD THAKN YOU ALL FOR READING AND UNDERSTANDING

The guy could have killed the kid, but instead takes him in under his wing, gives him a roof over his head, feeds him, only to be betrayed. What an ungrateful little shit. The only language kids understand these days is back of the hand language. Good movie, but that kid Rabbit will make you want to punch babies, disrespectful little piece of shit.

I really like this movie. Great acting- D’Onofrio’s weird speech impediment was a great touch. Great directing, good job little Lynch (the cameo in the TV commercial was a nice touch).

Rabbit, this kid needs so much hug. QAQQQQQ

Such a great plot twist at the end of the movie.

BTW, what happened now to Angie? Also, I think it needs some incest tag here for that one forced scene with the killer driver and his mom(?).

I really liked the movie, and it was really good. The sad truth about this, is that it can and it probably happens a lot irl, with the criminals never being found out. Lots of missing girls cases never resolved and etc.

Is incredible, how all those mentally disturbed potential criminals are out there in the streets, doing whatever they want. There’s always some kind of trauma or trigger, involved in their motivations, and of course, sexual related too. Guess people should be careful while being around men that shows their resenment towards women or people in general, or some weird sexual fantasies. Those always turns out to be a total danger to society and people.

It’s a good movie. pretty original. There was a reason behind the madness of the killer which is revealed at the end. Too bad it took langer than 15 years for the kid to grow some balls despite what he went through. That said, the Killer could’ve just told him, use his anger to exact revenge. He probably woud’ve became loyal. That, and coupled with Stockholm syndrome.

heyyy you posted one of my suggestions. Love this movie! Vincent is one of my favorite actors in recent memory! I know Im not supposed to post suggestions here but Listening 2014 by director Khalil Sullins is another excellent movie. I mean as far as blood and guts go there isnt any there, but as far as whats happening in the real world today this movie hits home.
