Bound to Vengeance is a 2015 American horror-thriller film about a young girl who escapes her confinement in a basement by a sexual predator.

Plot

The film opens with a young girl, Eve, played by Tina Ivlev awakening to find herself filthy, raped, chained and alone in a dark, dank basement. When her captor Phil (Richard Tyson) appears and tries to feed her, she manages to escape by hitting him brutally in the head with a brick. She then manages to snare his neck and unarm him. She soon discovers she is in a remote area and the house does not have a phone. She sees a van parked outside and begins searching for the keys. Before finding the keys, she finds Polaroid pictures of other captive girls with their names on the back. After finding the photos of other girls she must decide whether to escape or stay and try to rescue them as well. Eve decides to stay and in the process brutalizes Phil and gets him into the back of the van where he attempts to manipulate Eve by telling her that the other girls will starve to death if he dies because they are hidden and he is the only one who knows where they are. He offers to take Eve to each of the girls if she will take him to a hospital and not kill him.
