"A deaf writer who retreated into the woods to live a solitary life must fight for her life in silence when a masked killer appears in her window."
I Say...
^That's about the size of it.
Horror Type...
Slasher, Serial Killer, Thriller
Main Players...
Kate Siegel as Maddie Young (Fighter)
John Gallagher Jr. as The Man (Coward)
Michael Trucco as John Stanley (Smart Neighbor)
I liked...
- the way the story unfolded
- how Maddie strove to use every tool she could think of to survive
- the jerk villain who was a pleasure to hate
The Meh...
- why the heck would anyone opt to live in the woods ALONE??? I mean, c'mon!!!
- though it's a brisk 1 hour, 21 minutes, and the writers did manage to vary the routine a bit, there was still a lot of cat-and-mousery in a fixed setting that didn't quite manage to keep my attention 100% of the time
- I would've liked to've learned something of the killer's motivation
Would I recommend it...?
Yeah, it's definitely a good slasher flick! Caution to the faint of heart: the first time you see The Big Bad getting all stabby, it's not overly done but still somewhat sickening.
Miscellany...
You may remember the gal who plays Maddie as one of the siblings in Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House (which I've *just* learned is getting a second season, W00T!).

I must say no to slasher films.
ReplyDeleteCan't say I blame you. For me, it's clowns.
