A Tense, Low-Budget Cat-and-Mouse Game That Punches Above Its Weight
Christie Stevens proves she is more than capable of carrying a one-location thriller. Stripped of heavy dialogue, she conveys terror, paranoia, and brittle strength through micro-expressions and physical tension. Her transition from victim to strategist is the film’s heartbeat. Vane, meanwhile, oscillates between boyish charm and predatory stillness—think a lower-rent Mick Taylor from Wolf Creek , but with unsettling whispers instead of screams.
★★★½ (3.5/5)
