65+ Best Kidnapping and Hostage Movies Ever Made (Creepy Catalog.com)

"Kidnapping is a horrific crime because it involves the complete capture of someone else's body and their freedom of physical movement. This is why incarceration is considered punishment—because even though it bears the mark of legality, it involves torturing someone for days or weeks or years by kidnapping them. Or worse, as in many cases with these films, using the captured person as a hostage or negotiating technique. Controlling someone's freedom of movement is also the dominant feature of slavery, which is why kidnapping often results in longer prison sentences for any other crime besides murder. In the following films, the terror of kidnapping plays a central role to the plot. Let's get into the films." - creepycatalog.com
