Once Upon a Crime
2025, English. Directed by Joshua Nelson.
Some stories should never be told
A kidnapped woman pleads for freedom as her captor tells three chilling tales. These disturbing vignettes blend into the hostage's reality as she seizes an opportunity to fight back. But with each tale the kidnapper tells, it becomes clear that the lines between fiction, manipulation, and psychological torment are dangerously blurred.
