I Came By

This movie was fun to watch. I was yelling at the tv the whole time feeling mental! Good acting, I didn't know what was going to happen next which is rare. They took a lot of risks which made the film way better. I just couldn't wait to see what happened next.

I recommend to anyone that enjoys psychological thrillers or serial killer movies.

It says my review is too short but it's not so I'm adding some nonsense below to push it through. Great movie, should have more that a 6.0 in my humble opinion. Netflix was kind to bring this movie to my living room screen. Thank you Netflix for giving me a fun Saturday night. You are officially my best friend. More movies like "I came by" please.

Netflix has produced a better sort of film with I Came By. The strength of this film lies in its performances. Hugh Bonneville is terrifying and dangerous in this film. He easily transforms from the prim and proper characters he has played so well to a scary figure. The direction is not too bad. The scary music in key scenes and close ups and various camera angles sets a terrifying setting. We get this impression from the start of the film. I liked how the film was somewhat realistic as well. It would have been unrealistic and fan service to show all the main characters were alive in the end. If a person was in a situation with such a careful, paranoid and dangerous person, do you think they would be kept around? The film does not make that mistake and we see the main characters disappear because they were not prepared enough. I feel the storyline could have been stronger. Maybe there could have been a deeper motive for the retired Judge's behaviour? Why did they not explain his sociopathic tendencies for trapping and/or killing people? I feel they could have explained who the man he trapped was and why he was kept alive? These are just the gaps they could fleshed out to make a stronger thriller. Overall a captivating watch, I found it hard to put down and wanted to see how it ended. There was some form of justice but the realistic kind you could imagine in real life.

I started watching this in the background. The two graffiti kids are not much to look at and you don't have a reason to care about them... until you do. This thriller was unexpected and while the ending could have been better, it was just right. I hear what other reviewers are saying about cliche themes, but I didn't feel like this tile was pandering to that. Bonneville's performance as the ex-judge living a double life was spot on. The police were once again disappointing but not for lack of trying, the bad guy does bad things well, the entire supporting cast did their job to perfection! Give it a shot.

I did not do any research on this film or read any reviews so I thought this was going to be a political drama. After watching the 1st 15 to 20 minutes I then thought I was correct that there was a political drama but then the story took a turn and then it clearly became more of a thriller/horror.

I really like how this film kept you guessing and kept away from the simple cliches that many thrillers that fall into. This was good because it kept you guessing what was going to happen throughout the entire film.

My only couple of downsides were: The seemingly rushed ending, and the lack of motive for the main antagonist. The motive should've been explained properly. Decent film though.

Had not heard of this movie, until my girlfriend found it on Netflix tonight. Really enjoyed this movie without knowing much about it!

It's a thriller which has a completely fresh storyline, which I don't think we've seen yet. The movie starts off following two working class graffiti artists, who break into rich peoples homes to vandalise them, to make a social statement. But one of them, breaks into a home, where the owner could possibly be a psycho.

As a thriller I think this movie has a lot of golden nuggets - unpredictable storyline, jump scares, good build up of tension and a decent level of interest in characters.

Some people might not like the ending, but personally, I think it's nice to watch a movie, where not everyone has a happy ending.

Overall, I think this is an excellent thriller, if you're not asking for too much. It does check a lot of boxes and I think 7/10 is worth the rating for the fresh storyline.

(I say fresh story, as a lot of thriller plots these days are usually along the lines of a demented ex, or demented husband, or a serial killer/police cat and mouse movie) and it's just nice to see something different!
