Connor Beaton writes: "Not scary but deeply unsettling is Chained, Jennifer Lynch’s dark story about a young boy kidnapped by his mother’s killer and slowly raised to become a misogynistic murderer. The film is framed by one question: will young Tim, renamed with the nickname Rabbit, succumb to his new paternal influence and become another homicidal rapist, or will he find a way to end his host’s reign of terror and escape?"
