Restraint is a 2008 Australian thriller film, directed by David Denneen, written by Dave Warner and starring Stephen Moyer, Travis Fimmel and Teresa Palmer.

Two fugitives from justice, Dale and Ron, take hostage Andrew, an agoraphobic art dealer who might have a dark past of his own.

To persuade Ron to leave him alive, he offers leverage in the form of a photo that proves he had his father killed.

Ron knocks Dale out and leaves her in a locked car filling with exhaust, sadistically goading Andrew into braving his agoraphobia in order to save her.

Later, Andrew plays Wagner downstairs alone and seems to celebrate, while Dale gazes forlornly out the house's top-floor window.

The film was shot in late 2005 near Goulburn and Camden in New South Wales, originally using the title Guests, then Ravenswood.

Multiple test screenings resulted in the film's running time being reduced from 120 to 90 minutes, and the ending being changed to something more ambiguous.
