This is one hell of a slow movie with some very obvious plot-holes. And in my opinion, if you take away those plot-holes then the entire movie collapses.
If you are a woman and you realized that your creepy neighbour has been kidnapping girls and holding them hostage, would you wait for the cops to come and do their job or would you barge into his house and try to solve the mystery under his nose? Suppose the lead character had just waited in her house and directed the cops when they came, the movie would have ended without all that unnecessary drama.
And why do the cops leave without checking the neighbour's house even when the lead character has told them very specifically that he has been involved in kidnapping girls? Just in order to drag out the movie unnecessarily for half an hour more?
How does the wife of the kidnapper know that the small girl was held hostage by her husband and that too in the basement? Was she a mind-reader?
And just on the basis of some random hand-prints on the glass, the cops come to know at the end that the man is actually the kidnapper and they storm into his house in such an over-dramatic manner? Especially when the previous day, they left without even insisting on searching his house?
The kidnapped girl had some kidney related problems; but how did her daughter also have the same? And why did the kidnapper just turn her loose on the road?
The biggest plot-hole is that if the small girl was locked up in the basement since her birth, she would never be able to recognize the house from outside. Yet she recognizes it by looking at the window and she even draws it to indicate that it's where she was living.
Overall, a really underwhelming experience.
