Aping the format and tease of a novel that you just can’t bear to put down, Locked In is instead a film you wish you would have stopped far earlier. Go to Full Review

Locked In is exactly what you think it's going to be. The plot is contrived. Predictably, the dialogue is eye-rolling, and the character behaviors are over-the-top. This erotic thriller could ruin your Netflix and chill. Go to Full Review
Dustin Rowles Pajiba 11/09/2023
Locked In is heavy on plot and light on character, the kind of movie designed to shuttle you from beginning to end before you notice how bored you are. Go to Full Review

3/5
There are elements of gothic fairytale, psychological horror, and illicit revenge thriller, but Locked In ultimately feels like it could have had its tone a little better locked down. Go to Full Review

Locked In is the type of made-for-TV thriller you’d expect to catch on Lifetime on a Friday night. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Go to Full Review

Lee H @Leesa007 2d I would have been better off watching paint dry for the hour and a half. The characters are boring. The plot is predictable and tired. The whole movie was just dark and dreary and I wish I would not have stuck it out. Total garbage. See more David Lee K @RT17066284 06/24/2025 Locked In tries hard to be a psychological thriller, but what begins with a bit of promise quickly spirals into a sluggish, uninspired mess of clichés, wooden dialogue, and characters so thinly written they might as well be shadows on a wall. Despite its attempts to build tension, the film mistakes slow pacing for suspense and confusion for complexity. The twists are clumsy, and by the time the credits roll, the only real mystery is how this ever made it past the editing room. A forgettable watch, best left unwatched. See more JT J @RT27441320 06/02/2025 This movie is such a drag I couldn’t even force myself to get past the first 40 minutes. A complete waste of time that I’m assuming leads to a predictable ending. Don’t waste your time with this one. See more Stone W @RT44094796 05/25/2025 An interesting mystery with some fun twists and turns! See more Natan V @RT37393111 01/27/2025 The cast isn't horrible but the dialogue is overall quite boring. The chase was pretty exciting until they dragged it out by constantly switching back and forth in time, which normally, I don't mind but in this case, it was just way too long. The story is all over the place, you could easily predict it was Robert who hit Katherine, but you just didn't know why, the motive for Jamie's murder was there, but the characters just aren't those kinds of people. Some things in this movie just don't make sense, I still don't understand why the nurse is so involved in what happened, all she needs to know is why Katherine is in the hospital and then take care of her. Why she got hit by a car isn't any of her business yet she tries to force the story out of Lina completely, as if she thinks she's a detective. And why Robert wanted Katherine instead of Lina all of a sudden. Maybe when he figured out that Lina wouldn't sell the house, so he wanted to get rid of her thinking that Katherine would become heir to the mansion? I don't know because the movie doesn't tell us. See more Kara C @RT83738703 12/16/2024 The film itself is shot beautifully and the acting isn't awful - fundametally, the plot brought the film down. It started off rather promisingly however started to decline midway through with twists contradicting each other. Ultimately, this left you feeling a bit confused and underwhelmed by the ending. With that being said, the film kept me gripped and it was an easy one to watch. See more Read all reviews
