Girl in the Box is a 2016 psychological thriller based on the true story of Colleen Stan. The movie stars Addison Timlin as Colleen, Zane Holtz as her kidnapper, Cameron, and Zelda Williams as another victim. The story follows Colleen, a young woman who is hitchhiking to a friend's birthday party when she is abducted by Cameron. He forces her into a wooden box in the back of his van and tells her that if she makes a sound, she will be electrocuted. Cameron then takes Colleen to his cabin in the woods, where he keeps her locked up in the box for 23 hours a day.

As time passes, Cameron gradually introduces Colleen to his girlfriend, Janice, and their infant daughter. He tells Colleen that she is now part of their family and that he loves her. He also begins to allow her out of the box for short periods of time, but always threatens her with electrocution if she tries to escape.

The movie goes back and forth between Colleen's time in captivity and the investigation that takes place after she is eventually freed. The investigation is led by a female detective who becomes convinced that Cameron is responsible for Colleen's disappearance. She and her team work tirelessly to gather evidence and eventually bring Cameron to justice.

Throughout the movie, we see the psychological toll that Colleen's captivity takes on her. She begins to identify with her captor and struggles to accept that what he is doing to her is wrong. She also suffers from flashbacks and nightmares, which help to piece together the events leading up to her abduction.

Girl in the Box is a harrowing portrayal of one woman's experience with captivity and abuse. The performances by the three main actors are powerful and realistic, especially Timlin's portrayal of Colleen. The movie explores themes of power, control, and manipulation, and leaves the viewer with a sense of the lasting trauma that can result from being held captive.

Overall, Girl in the Box is a well-made movie that sheds light on a true story of survival and resilience. It is not an easy movie to watch, but it is an important one that encourages viewers to think critically about the issues of consent and abuse.

Girl in the Box is a 2016 thriller with a runtime of 1 hour and 28 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.2.
