Abduct

There is a delicious strangeness at the heart of this horror oddity, which strands a woman on what should be a tranquil mountain getaway and then yanks the rug out from under her. When her boyfriend vanishes, a naked stranger appears in his place, insisting he is the very man who disappeared. Director Chris Riggi, who also appears in the film, mines that impossible claim for unease, building a scenario where identity itself becomes the source of terror and nothing can be trusted.

The result is a tense, off-kilter chiller for fans of contained horror that thrives on paranoia rather than spectacle. Its remote setting amplifies the isolation, and the slow drip of doubt keeps the audience as disoriented as its heroine. Viewers who enjoy eerie, psychologically prickly horror with a surreal hook, and who like puzzling over what is real, are the ideal company for this one.
