Where to start without sounding like a paid endorsement?
It really is that good!
Do not be fooled in thinking the start of the movie gives away the ending, it certainly does not!
Emily Berrington and Ben Lloyd-Hughes brilliant and convincing leads - absolutely no typecasting to compare them to any non thriller previous roles. They absolutely nailed the tension, suspense and drama at every turn. The rest of the cast obviously fed off their energy and it would be wrong to just single out one or two without feeling you were doing the rest a disservice by not mentioning them by name.
Not my usual genre, but the casting made me want to take a look and I wasn't disappointed. Script was written by Samantha Lee Howe who apparently wrote the book, and the actors took hold of it, and we all went along on an intriguing and harrowing journey.
This movie kept you guessing and just when you thought you knew who and what... it twisted on an edge again and had you hooked, before deviating again.
Locations perfect, it was all beautifully constructed from the direction to cinematography to editing.
How they managed to create something this good in the middle of a pandemic is an amazing achievement in itself.
9/10 - Nothing can be truly perfect? Knocking off one star... IDK... it could it have been longer? Was there more in the book they could have included because I really wanted there to be more! Not saying I think they missed anything - the story was definitely well told, just really enjoyed the tension and for once I hadn't worked out straight away what would happen.
Definitely left me with a 'oh wow...' feeling at the end.
Highly recommended viewing!
