The Girl Who Got Away

This is a visually captivating psychological thriller that I really enjoyed. This is def more silence of the lambs then Halloween though.

I am all about imagery and the cinematography here does a great job of showing the emotional weight of the story, making you feel the trauma and fear that the characters experience.

The play between shadow and light is particularly effective, with dimly lit scenes that create a sense of unease. This visual style reflects Christina's inner struggles, played by Lexi Johnson. You can really feel the weight of her past which helps you connect with her journey.

The settings throughout the film-ranging from tight, shadowy interiors to wide, empty landscapes-enhance the mood.

This film is probably not for everyone I will say that but If you appreciate films that use visuals to tell deep emotional, sometimes crazy stories, this one is definitely worth a watch!

This was an interesting one and done for me. You have to be patient as it is quite slow moving, but it does move and slowly reveal some twists and turns in the plot. If you want full on terror and horror, then you may not be so thrilled here. :( The acting was pretty good and the storyline was creepy, but they really didn't let us see what happen all those years to those girls, so that was left to your imagination. Which I found irritating.

Overall, a decent slow burn mystery that people with patience and not here for a gore-fest will probably enjoy watching, at least once.

Without giving much away - this is a brilliant movie for what it is. Was pleasantly surprised that what i thought was happening was close but the twists left me guessing until the very end. A few jump scares but builds a good storyline and the thriller/psychological terror is more the backburn to that. Strong cast performances.

I felt like there were a lot of spaces i had to assume and fill in the blanks but not necessarily in a bad or tiring way. I got confused but then would think it was going one way and then confusion again. It was worth the watch but for the length of the movie i would expect them to be able to add in more details or explain things better because there does seem to be an issue with getting the storyline across without any plot holes/doing it smoothly. The acting was also... questionable at parts?? Overall i wouldn't watch it again but i'd definitely recommend it to other people if they want a good mystery/horror movie.

**The Girl Who Got Away** took me by surprise in the best way. I wasn't expecting to get so pulled into the story, but from the opening moments, I found myself completely invested. What I loved most was how the movie kept me guessing-it wasn't just a straightforward thriller, but one that really dove into the psychology of its characters.

Lexi Johnson's performance as Christina/Katie felt so real. You could sense the weight of her trauma in every scene, but she was never portrayed as just a victim. She had this quiet strength, and I was rooting for her the whole time. The small-town setting made everything feel claustrophobic, which added to the tension. The film had this eerie atmosphere, almost like the town itself was a character and existed outside time if that makes sense. .

There were twists that I didn't see coming, and I love when a movie manages to keep me on my toes like that. It wasn't just about the scares (though there were definitely some), but also about how the past can come back to haunt you in ways you never expect. It got under my skin and had me thinking about it long after the credits rolled.

If you're looking for a thriller that's more than just jump scares-one that makes you feel something and keeps you guessing-**The Girl Who Got Away** is worth watching.
