Deep and Intense
An Abused woman who managed to bring back her life into order and became a fine successful woman raising a beautiful daughter.
She thought she conquered her past with the psychopath she was married to ... The psychopath who controlled,abused and brainwashed her in order to thrive his ill self.. David Moore took advantage of an eighteen years old girl and left her with a Lifetime scar and trauma.
Once he reappeared she went insane.. her life turned upside down.
No one can really feel her terror, fear and panic ... All the horror came back from the past .
Rebecca hall was genuine in the movie .
She made me feel her deep agony,anger,fear and suffering.
She was not free till she killed the Beast who took her life as well . - Howling_at_the_Moon_Reviews - 11 July 2023
Get in my belly!
I thought this was an extremely interesting glimpse into the world of abuse, trauma and grief and the way it manifests physically and psychologically. This is such an extreme example of what is possible it is jarring and frightening.
With that being said, keep in mind this is much more a thriller than anything... and a slow moving one at that. It teeters the line between suspenseful and too slow, but edges out on the successful side. I think it was also on the verge of leaning repetitive at times as well.
Two major positives here were the plot and the acting. The story felt familiar yet so oddly specific and detailed that it twisted into something quite original. Unfortunately, the entire backstory was given to us in a spoon fed monologue spilling it all onto the table which felt just a little... odd and lazy. On the flip side of that it was an amazing opportunity for that actress to just smash a large chunk of dialogue that she killed. The acting across the board was superior in this film. Especially the mom, she killed it.
While keeping these positives in mind, something about this left me hanging a bit as a whole... I wanted more. I wanted more backstory, I wanted more intent on proclivities, I wanted more struggle and fight. I also wasn't a huge fan of the ending. Don't get me wrong, I understood it and appreciated it for what the last two scenes were giving us... it just felt a little lack luster and anticlimactic to me.
Regardless, this movie had a lot of positives, particularly the acting and was definitely thrilling. 5.5 rounding down to a 5. Would recommend.
