Reviews:
“Most of the action is arguments between the main characters, even with a bunch of possessions, which helps crank it up a notch. Arooka is keeping busy taking people to his CGI world and bringing most of them back with a bit of alterations, which help move the story and the conflict along. There are some other flaws I have found, particularly the sound quality…” Indie Horror Films
“This is a great example of an “A” for plot, but a “C” on delivery and execution. There are several shining moments during confrontations between these accessories to the crime and the evil entity stealing each scene. Although few and far between, the light of The Hostage is owned by the darkness of LaSardo. He’s just so damn good at being bad.” Upcoming Horror Films
