Don't Move

I didn't expect much from this movie, and in the end it was actually better than expected. That's not to say it was anything fantastic, but it killed a couple of hours (no pun intended...), and wasn't boring.

The story took many liberties, so you really need to suspend disbelief and even your logical thinking, but in general, it was entertaining, if that's a word to be used for a film with this subject matter.

The best thing about it was probably the acting. The two leads did a great job with the limited material they were given.

All in all, it was worth watching. It will probably be forgotten in an hour, but at least it won't be remembered as a bad movie.

I'm confused why people hate on this movie. It's not the best, definitely flawed but I swear it's so entertaining and NOT BAD!!!! This movie did what I needed it to do; entertain and make me nervous. I had a couple moments in this movie where my heart was racing and I TRULY cared for the protagonist throughout. This movie is not evil dead or hereditary status by any means but if you love horror or thriller movies this one you should see!

The ending is not bad as well (contrary to what some say) definitely reccomend watching this especially since the runtime is extremely short! (1:32)

(Still confused by the 5.8 rating this movie has right now)

Though the movie is relatively mediocre, I have to say, it was worth watching because I got to watch Finn Wittrock run around as a killer again for the first time since essentially the forth season of american horror story. I believe that Wittrock is an increble actor when it comes to playing deranged or psychopathic characters and I was happy to see him portray this again. Overall, the plot is very different then regular films but it explains why this plot is never used. Frankly, its unpredictable to a fault and is just not a movie that needed to be made. I would have rather just watched Finn Wittrock scream for an hour and a half and called that good.

A grieving Iris climbs to the top of a mountain, with one thing on her mind, Richard follows her up, and does his best to stop her making a huge decision. Unfortunately Richard's motives for helping Iris aren't well intentioned.

It's that film that everyone at work is talking about at the moment, and of course it's number one on Netflix.

We've had don't breathe, now we have don't move, I wonder what's next, don't listen, don't look? There's definitely a pattern forming.

It's a fairly effective thriller, albeit one that's fairly flawed. More plot holes than you can shake a stick at, and if you start asking how, why or what, you'll lose the plot, just enjoy it for what it is.

Several moments of tension, a couple of thrills and spills, and it's fairly well acted.

Lots of threads sadly just don't go anywhere, and unfortunately we don't learn much about Richard, his past, his motivations etc, but as a snapshot it's quite effective.

An ending that made Halloween Kills seem almost realistic, he's one tough serial killer.

6/10.

Don't Move brings a refreshing twist to a well-known horror formula, proving that familiar themes can still feel exciting when given the right touch. The film delivers non-stop tension, pulling viewers into a world where the terrifying concept of paralysis is explored in depth. This unsettling theme is central to the story, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere that leaves audiences feeling as trapped and vulnerable as the characters on screen.

The way the story develops around this idea is truly gripping, playing on primal fears and giving rise to moments of pure, heart-pounding suspense. While certain elements of the plot may feel a bit predictable, the intensity and well-executed scares more than make up for it. The film manages to keep the viewer invested from beginning to end, blending strong visuals with a dark and eerie mood that elevates the horror experience.

Don't Move offers an enjoyable horror journey that both frightens and fascinates, striking a great balance between classic tropes and innovative ideas. For fans of the genre, this is definitely a solid choice.
