There were multiple film styles in "A Party Gone Wrong" (a.k.a., "Trapped Daughter") with the horror genre sustained most completely. Two young women are made captive and locked in a freezer compartment in a warehouse. There is also a thriller element that focuses on a desperate mother seeking to find her daughter. Then, at the very end, it is revealed that the film is attempting to raise consciousness about organ harvesting and human trafficking. The different components of the film never meshed.

The most interesting character was Mrs. Tracey Bishop, a talented choreographer working in a new arts center. When Mrs. Bishop's daughter April does not arrive home after a party, she begins her search. That strand of the drama turned into a race against the clock and a horror scene in the cornfield, prior to the mother's discovery that April had been placed in an icebox.

The performers tried their best to rise above the shallow material they were given, especially the static scenes during the "big chill." In those moments, April and her friend Natalie bonded after a falling-out over a time Natalie spent a few hours in a hot tub with April's boyfriend.

The notes on the screen about human trafficking at the end of the film would have been positioned more effectively at the beginning, so that the audience would be prepared for the sadistic Dr. Sylvia, her demented assistants, and the unpleasant surgical scenes that follow. The message is an important one. But the method of delivery in the film needed rethinking.
