I went into the film knowing there were issues with audio, so I knew what to expect. The story was solid, and was shot well! The characters were believable and the locations were solid also. You can definitely tell the filmmaker has grown with each film he has done! There were also some strange transition choices that were a bit off putting, but there is a good film outside the audio and transition issues! If the filmmaker was able to take a couple of days with an ADR session, this could be a quality film! Audio is easily the most important aspect of a film and could make or break it. It seems that is the main issue for not ranking it higher!

Locked In
mmethodjr27 August 2023
Pro's. The Drone Footage is beyond Amazing!!, A Great Storyline and a few notable actors as well. Special Effects were Great.
Cons: Sounds inside the barn are alittle off at times. But don't let that throw you off.
It is a Great all around film. Great Action and Gore. Very NSFW and not good with kids around. Awesome Grotesque Scenes in this film and some even have a shock factor to them. Robert Mukes and Amber Dawn Fox make a Great Pair Acting in this film. I will keep watching it over and over again.
It was great to see some of the guest appearances from the great Mrs. Lowery. By the end of it I was rooting for the killer to kill them all.

Lock yourself in and get lost in this cut 2 the chase production!

It was nice to see Rob Mukes in a major role, even if it was a predator. He made it very believable and had me engaged in the story. The other 2 female leads also made you feel for them and kept the story moving. It'd sad we live in a world where stuff like this happens all the time, but this film is a good eye opener. Definitely going to be a hard watch if this is a sensitive topic, but very worth it. Other than the sound being off in places, this was a very well put together production. I really enjoyed all the drone shots used and had me feeling like I was really there! Excited to see chase's next project!
Anxiety vibes,couldn't look away,for good and bad reasons

Another good film from the creative Chase Dudley. No spoilers,but started off really fast. People went from having a good time to not having a good time. I'm a lover of gory movies and this one didn't disappoint. My only complaint is the sound throughout as it went from hard to hear to almost ear piercing in a split second. Great visuals as the women are beautiful even when they weren't at their "best". Great villain as I found myself wanting kick his teeth in from the onset. Not even in his actions but every time he spoke. Not for the weak of heart or stomach but that's what makes it stand on its own.
A terrifying tale of human bondage
bobgunner18 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
When two women are kidnapped and imprisoned at a hidden location by a psycho bondage freak, they are tortured and made to suffer psychological and physical pain by their insane and heartless captor. If you enjoy a good splatter type move, then you might enjoy this one. The two main female characters manage to bond during their imprisonment and take care of each other as they attempt to escape from their hopeless situation. There may be such human monsters in the real world (and have been), that gain masochistic sexual enjoyment and pleasure from torturing and causing trauma to other human beings. I wouldn't wish that kind of treatment to anyone. All in all, like I said, it is a good Slasher/horror film I would recommend to anyone who enjoys that genre.
A MUST SEE!!!!

Chase Dudley has done it again!!!! I have been following his work since his first film and they just get better every time! This is a very important story, about real life situations and the acting is incredible. It's packed with blood and gore and all the other essentials for a great horror/slasher film. I saw this in the theater and it gave me chills and thrills and kept me on the edge of my seat. You never know what sadistic things will happen next and the girls did a phenomenal job with portraying the agony and pain that came with their situation. Give it a watch, i promise you won't regret it!
Locked In is an amazing concept!
lgbryant22 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Locked In is an amazing concept and overall I enjoyed the movie which focuses on an aspect of human trafficking. I know it is a lower budget Indie Film, but I do have a few quips. The first and most major problem was the sound! I had to watch the movie a 2nd time with the subtitles on to figure out what was going on. My second problem is with the underdevelopment of the main theme of the movie. I had to watch the movie a third time to understand that people were paying for a service. I think enhancing that part of the plot would have enchanted the entire story line making the main concept more understandable. The actors and actress did an amazing job portraying very sensitive subject matter which could have been emotional to film. Overall, I'd recommend this film!
Worth the wait
jodistultz1 September 2023
I absolutely loved this! I have waited so long and now have seen it three times! Amber Dawn Fox is a great friend of mine and this was a whole new character for her and she killed it! Both ladies did! Congratulations to chase Dudley and cast and crew! And it definitely gave that creepy but happens in real life vibe! People don't pay enough attention that this is the kind of things that really happen! Now I say maybe do a part two with kids to bring awareness! I am beyond happy and everything that I got from this movie! Everybody played their parts so well! Good chemistry between cast! And I will say the ending was a plot twist !
Awesome Movie
drakkosnake14 September 2023
The drone shots were amazing and the cast of the movie mixed well. Sound quality was a little off at times but didn't take away from the movie at all in my opinion. Liked the story of the movie and how it really could be based on a true story with such a believable topic. Wasn't over the top gore and had just the right amount of suspense and drama with a few laughs that made the story progress nicely. Overall was a great movie and a great addition to any horror genre with the spooky season approaching. It would make a great pick to have some friends over and watch a down to earth movie that will catch your attention and keep it.
Wow
lienmya4 October 2023
So, this is a very controversial movie. I don't like anything about anything that happened "in the move" because it portrays reality of what is really happening in the world now and it's horrible 😢. That doesn't mean I don't like the movie, Its like a love hate thing. But everything was very well done, some sound and lighting issues there in the barn but the main antagonist did an amazing job, he made it so believable that this is the real him. I've followed the director Chase Dudleys projects from the getgo and as time and projects go by he improves more and more. Look forward to seeing more movie made by him.
Excellent
jonathonlong-0309418 September 2023
This is the first movie that I have ever watched where the director of the movie was Chase Dudley. I have always been a horror movie fan since I was a kid and so I wanted to give Locked In a try. Given the amount of budget that was allocated for the movie I thought all in all it was really well done. I have to give it to the actors in the movie I thought they each played their role very well. The special effects in the movie was good as well as the story line. This movie did a good job at catching my attention and keeping it through the entire movie. I found that this movie made me think and I really liked the unexpected moments that left me with a feeling after. All in all I give this film a solid 9/10 and I do recommend it.
Low budget horror/suspense on point!
gunnernp6 September 2023
Locked in was extremely well written, directed and produced. It has all the components for a great suspenseful horror. It has gore, jump factor, suspenseful scenes, and a psycho, maniac killer. As well as scenes you never saw coming. The acting was phenomenal. I can definitely see all these actors having an amazing career in the industry. There is nothing low budget about the production, directing, or acting. The only one little issue is the sound at times but it will not stop you from watching the movie. The production company is a very talented husband and wife team who are based out of Kentucky. They definitely put their heart and soul into their company and all their projects. I'm telling you do not miss this movie if you like suspense and horror. Also be on the look out of their next indie movie Broken Innocence. That one is going to be off the charts!
great film, talented actors
awholeturkey11 September 2023
This is a great film, with unexpected twists and turns. The make up was great and the actors were very talented at the roles they portrayed. The sound was a bit wonky at times, however the movie itself made up for that. The scenery is stunning, a great choice for the film to take place. The actors really seemed to get into the headspace of the characters they were playing. Kudos to the director and all those who partook in this film! Can't wait to see more from this director! I do know of another film by this director getting ready to come out, and cannot wait to be able to watch it, and see all the new ideas coming forward.
Well Done!!!
agrimmfilm10 September 2023
Ok! Supporting each other is the name of the game! My friends Chase Dudley and Samantha Kristina Dudley have one of their movies out on Amazon Prime to Rent or Buy!!! I just watched this last night and I'll have to say it makes you think! I pray for all of those men and women who find themselves a slave to someone else. Their lives taken away from them. I did have to cover my eyes a couple of times but it's a brutally true reality whether seen or unseen that can kill and will kill if we can't keep it from happening! Great job on this movie. I enjoyed thinking what it took to put these scenes together. Well done. Well done!
Locked In
kingboseman26 September 2023
Phenomenal film well done and great acting. It had me hooked from beginning to end I'm really vibing with it. The way it ended definitely sets up for another one and I could see it having a sequel just as good. The actors really went all out and made it look and feel believable. I really see it continue doing really well moving forward, this is the type of work and productions that will go a long way and really can make a classic especially for the fans who are all for the horror genre. I didn't expect some of the graphic torture but it definitely adds the suspense and thrill to it for sure. Major congrats to all involved and continued success.
Roars to Life!
thejhorton8 September 2023
On a long, desolate highway of cinema, "Locked In" roared to life like a '49 Hudson roaring through the Nebraska night. Scripted with the burning fire of Ginsberg's poems and directed with the keen eye of a Cassady weaving through traffic, it's a symphony of horror that'd make the beats drop their bongos in sheer terror. The flick's got the blood, the thrills, the jolts, man, and a killer with the wild eyes of a mad jazz musician on a bender. You'll find scenes twisting and turning, just like our journey on this madcap road of life, and the actors, brother, they're the real deal, like those poets reciting verses in a smoky Greenwich Village café. Pure, raw talent that'll take them places we've yet to imagine. And, man, though the sound might waver like an old vinyl on a crooked turntable, don't let that stop you from diving deep into this cinematic experience.
And dig this, there's this husband and wife duo down in Kentucky - land of bourbon and bluegrass - pouring every ounce of their souls into the moving pictures they craft. It's a spiritual endeavor for them, and you can feel it in every frame. So, if your heart's yearning for a thrill, for that edge-of-the-seat suspense, don't sleep on "Locked In." And keep those peepers peeled for "Broken Innocence" - their next venture. Word has it, it's gonna shake the scene like a Ginsberg howl under a full moon.
