Run Sweetheart Run

The plot and storyline was good. The execution and direction was terrible. I didn't know if homie was a vampire, a monster, the devil, a stalker. It was just a mess in my opinion. These new age thriller movies are just not the same as the old school ones. They use to really put it together. And put thought into it. In my opinion, all the new age movies try to focus on is trying to reflect the "modern day" lifestyle, and no real afford is going into creating the movie itself. Everybody in Hollywood now wants to be socially appeasing to the modern lifestyle, that no real thought is going into directing.

Starts well. Exciting, mysterious atmosphere.

Pans out into a dark survival mix of The Purge,The Hunt/Ready or Not montage promise.

Some great moments of 'oh no this is a bad idea' foreboding horror warnings.

Grows enjoyably with a dark atmosphere, a meeting / date / becomes more than with a good solid lead cast and support.

A good growing paranormal undertone develops then... bam! Turns into a mess of obtuse metaphors and old cliches mixed with modern life pressures worries and messages which are just runs out of steam and time rushed school essay ending' B movie I did enjoy it, despite some dragged out parts.

Some nice twists in the ideas but... Had so much more potential.

Try harder next time.

What starts out a very trivial plot turns in to an all out crazy ride of survival horror at night...

Where you kind of think the story is going becomes something completely different... With subtle clues leading to a discovery of a protected secret of one of our main antagonists....

I loved the feel of this movie, very stylish something similar to 'DRIVE' glossy... Very down town L. A with great music....

But it's the plot that truly delivers as the story unfolds, it takes on this whole new pace of movie with our lead 'Cherie' trying to survive, this film is made of 2 halves one lending to the other!

Run Sweetheart Run has a very simple concept, that works thanks to a great lead performance and an entertaining first two acts. Unfortunately it doesn't fully stick the landing.

The positives of this movie, of course Ella Balinska is great. She is easily the best part about this movie and did a really nice job. Pilou Asbæk was also pretty good as the villain. The movie is very well directed with some nice cinematography. There's some nice stylistic choices that give the movie a kinda fun feel. It's very fast paced and once the movie starts, it never really stops. Its constantly entertaining from start to finish which made this movie a fun watch.

However this film suffers from its final 20 minutes. It completely shifts into something quite ridiculous, and it almost steered away the first two acts. It suddenly tries to bash you with this message in the final act that just kinda felt a little too much. And finally I felt that the film had too many scenes of 4th wall breaking. It felt very strange and rather distracting.

Overall despite a disappointing final act, and strange stylistic choices, Run Sweetheart Run is a fun movie elevated by a great lead performance, fast pacing, and good directing.

This is the story of a girl who double-books his boss. Since one of the bookings is for her boss's anniversary, the girl has to go to the other event which is a meeting a client, and the story begins. The story is very innovative. It is hard to predict what comes next. I liked the ending. The acting crew was awesome. Ella Balinska, Pilou Asbaek, and Shohreh Aghdashloo played well in this movie. The special effects were wonderful. The background music and sound effects were in sync with the scenes. This is a well-made horror movie. You see unique movements of the camera, especially in the final scene. I recommend this movie to horror genre fans.
