"CIP gives ABDUCTED a boutique rescue that transforms a once-fleeting VHS curiosity into a remarkably vivid regional thriller. CIP's Blu-ray release of ABDUCTED exemplifies the significance of boutique labels. They rescue films that were previously confined to inferior formats and provide them with the respect they deserve through high-quality presentation."
"The slipcover is awesome, as always with anything VS or their awesome partner Labels release! It is a cool movie that was a lot of fun to watch! I always love the unique VS service of allowing you to stack as many movies as you like in your cart during any release period and ship them for free! The peerless VS restoration process was on full display with stellar sound and picture! Thank you, VS, for continuing to lovingly restore and release so many wonderful films from every conceivable genre! You are keeping physical media alive in this streaming world we now live in! Highly recommended!"
"It's the 1980s, a movie about a woman kidnapped by a madman might make you think that certain things might happen to the woman in the film. But this Canadian picture subverts your expectations in several ways, and the story is actually all the better for it. Dan Haggerty does play a tough mountain man, but his character actually has a small arc and a surprise relation to the main story that I didn't expect, and the movie was a richer experience for it. Great scenery, though some of it stock footage. Come for the 1980's woman in peril and stay for a complex psychological drama."
"A solid thriller with a great score."
"Good film"
"CIP is rapidly becoming one of my favorite sub-labels. I've always been a casual fan of Canuxploitation but was mostly unfamiliar with the indie film scene it sprang from. Abducted might be my favorite of this favorite. This is a survivor thriller that doesn't play around, despite the comforting presence of Grizzly Adams. The slip design is immaculate, the transfer is beautiful, and the extras are voluminous. Recommended."
"Good suspense, and totally worth the buck !"
"Nice release of this great flick with excellent artwork"
"A bit on the slow side, with beautiful scenery and at least one go-for-broke performance. Nice to see Dan Haggerty show up!"
"I used to watch this one all the time on up all night in the 90s. I wish part 2 would come out but at least we have the first!"
