 A Lonely Place to Die
comment
A Lonely Place to Die (2011) is an action-adventure/thriller film directed by Julian Gilbey.The plot entails a group of climbers finding a kidnapped girl buried underground, with a pipe extending to the surface to give the girl air to breathe. As the group attempts to bring the child to safety, the kidnappers literally hunt the group down one by one. It's a bit more complex than this, however.Proving to be both critically and commercially successful, the film features Melissa George, Ed Speleers, Kate Magowan, Alec Newman, and Garry Sweeney as our doomed protagonists, Sean Harris and Stephen Cole as the kidnappers, Holly Boyd as the girl, and Karel Roden, Eamonn Walker, and Paul Anderson as associates of the girl's father attempting to negotiate her rescue.

comment
The Sociopath: Kidd and Mcrae, besides being serial child kidnappers, have no problems in killing any innocent bystanders with no remorse at all, and they're also willing to let the children die if their demands are not met.

Ax-Crazy: Mcrae is shown to be the more psychotic and murderous of the two kidnappers, unlike the sociopathic and pragmatic Mr Kidd. In the climax he flies in a violent rage killing not only his intended targets but also anyone who's an inconvenience and tries to stab Alison with his hunting knife.

Would Hurt a Child: Kidd coldly tells that some years ago he kidnapped a boy for ransom and when the parents tried to fool him by not paying he shot the boy as retribution, although admitting he did bond with the boy.

Monster Threat Expiration: Mr. Kidd and Mr. Mcrae range from being crack shots with their rifles to being hopeless marksman, depending on who they are shooting at. They are hopelessly unable to hit the fairly nearby heroine as she slowly climbs away from them in broad daylight, but a few hours later, Mr. Mcrae can effortlessly hit someone (twice!) through a window at night with fireworks going off around him.

Lack of Empathy: Both the villains Kidd and Mcrae. Kidd in particular taunts a dying Alex after having him mortally wounded that that's the "price for [his] nobility".

Villain Decay: Mr. Kidd and Mr. Mcrae, most definitely. While aggressive and ruthless hunters initially, they start to be portrayed as inept, especially considering that they can't seem to retrieve Anna for ransom and attempt (unsuccessfully) to negotiate while she's at large.

Asshole Victim: Subverted. Alex seemed like an asshole, but he ultimately sacrifices himself to help the remaining group escape the kidnappers. Played straight with child kidnapper and killer Mr. Kidd when Anna's father has him stripped naked and tossed into a pit to be buried alive.

Language Barrier: Anna is Serbian and does not speak English, and is terrified of men. They eventually deduce that she was kidnapped at school given her uniform, being kept for ransom given that she was buried underground with a pipe extending to the surface to keep her alive.

Soft-Spoken Sadist: The kidnapper Mr Kidd always talks in a chillingly calm tone of voice. This makes him quite frightening, especially when he talks about killing a young boy long ago when his ransom demand was not satisfied. He sounds so casual like he was just another day at work.
