One of the sleaziest movies of the year and certainly the most unpleasant.

Be warned: The Tie That Binds is the flick that flops.

The Tie That Binds suffers from a second half that feels as though it's emerged directly from a template for movies of this ilk...

A chilling experience

The Tie That Binds is an attempt to recapture the spirit of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, which was itself simply a more sophisticated variation on the slasher genre.

Audience Reviews for The Tie That Binds

A Brilliant Thriller! Janie's been adopted by the perfect couple. With their help she can find a new life. If her real parents don't find her first.

A fairly predictable thriller yet still pretty good. I closed my eyes twice!
