Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Chained is a 2012 psychological thriller written and directed by Jennifer Lynch (David's daughter) and based on a screenplay by Damian O'Donnell. It stars Vincent D'Onofrio, Eamon Farren, Gina Philips, Conor Leslie, Evan Bird, Jake Weber, and Julia Ormond.Bob is a serial killer whose occupation as a cab driver allows him to abduct young women and murder them in his home. When a young boy takes a ride in his cab, Bob has a different fate in store for him: the boy, renamed "Rabbit" by Bob, becomes his personal prisoner who must not only help with Bob's normal day-to-day activities, but is also forced to assist Bob in his crimes and clean-up the carnage Bob creates. Several years pass and the now teenage Rabbit continues to experience death and suffering on a near-daily basis, but Bob begins to show care for the young man, treating him less like a slave and more like a son. Bob's motives, however, remain less than benevolent and being granted freedom from his captor will require Rabbit to do something he won't be able to come back from.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: Unlike Bob's other victims, alcohol causes Mary to willingly come to his house and she remains oblivious to why she was brought into an empty room until Bob slits her throat.

Abusive Parents
 Chained / int_b11ac9f5
comment
Abusive Parents: Bob (along with Brad) was horrifically abused by his father, including being forced to have sexual intercourse with his mother, which led to him becoming a serial killer. As he considers himself to be Rabbit's true father, Bob also becomes one to his captive in addition to being an Evil Uncle. Fittingly, Brad turns out to be an abusive parent as well on account of him orchestrating the kidnapping of his son.

Awkward Father-Son Bonding Activity
 Chained / int_c6d0ce84
comment
Awkward Father-Son Bonding Activity: Some rather twisted examples. Bob and Rabbit play a card game, except the "cards" are actually the driver's licenses of the women Bob has killed and the game involves identifying their personal information. And they drive through the city together searching for a young woman to abduct and murder, with Bob even acknowledging he's happy that Rabbit is with him.
