Last Updated on July 23, 2021

Just a few days ago, we got word that Jennifer Lynch’s nasty NC-17 thriller CHAINED will be receiving an OCTOBER 2nd release on DVD and Blu-ray. Now we’ve got the trailer to go along with that tidbit, and boy… does it look like the feel BAD movie of the year!

From the visionary mind of director Jennifer Lynch (Boxing Helena, Surveillance, Hisss) comes the dark fable CHAINED from Anchor Bay Films. With a stellar cast including Vincent D’Onofrio (Full Metal Jacket, “Law and Order: Criminal Intent”), Gina Phillips (Jeepers Creepers, “Ally McBeal”) Conor Leslie (“90210”), Evan Bird (“The Killing”), with Jake Weber (Dawn of the Dead, “Medium”) and Julia Ormond (My Week With Marilyn, “Mad Men”), CHAINED is an unforgettable ride into the darkness that can reside in the human heart – no matter what your age.

It ends up being their last ride together. Bob murders the young boy’s mother and keeps Tim as his unwilling protégée, making him clean up the mess following each murder he commits. After a couple of aborted escape attempts, Bob chains Tim – now renamed Rabbit — allowing just enough length to move freely within the house. As the years pass, Bob starts instructing Rabbit, teaching him anatomy and human behavior. Now a teenager, Rabbit (Eamon Farren, X: Night of Vengeance) is slowly being pressed by Bob to start his own homicidal spree. Slowly but surely, he must soon choose whether to follow in Bob’s serial killer footsteps or make one final, desperate attempt to break free…
