The real victims in Organ theft in Kosovo (sometimes also known as the "yellow house" case) were believed to be mostly ethnic Serbs of Kosovo, killed by perpetrators with strong links to elements of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). Various sources had estimated that the number of victims ranged from a "handful", up to 50, between 24 to 100 to over 300. See more »

I do not know how many movies similar to "Captifs" that I have recently seen. Only in Brazil, three different films have been released with the same Brazilian title in the last years ("Captivity" (2007); "Captifs" (2010); and "Open House" (2010)). I was discussing with a friend of mine about the lack of new ideas and screenplays in the cinema industry, reason why for so many remakes and films with the same storyline.
Back to "Captifs", despite the well-known storyline, the film has good acting, make-up and keeps the tension until the very last scene. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "O Cativeiro" ("The Captivity")
