You'll Never Find Me

This year has seen the release of another slow-burn horror film that is underrated. This film is not only underrated but also quite entertaining but it's slightly close to a 7/10 unfortunately.

The cinematography is well-paced and smoothly delivered, ensuring a steady and unshaken viewing experience. This is undoubtedly one of the strangest horror films I've ever watched, but it's not bad. It could have been worse, but about 60 minutes in, the third act took an unexpected turn. I thought I was going to give up, but I persevered. 'You'll Never Find Me' almost feels like an experiment exploring the modern erosion of societal trust. Its themes and messages are as clear as day, even under the cover of night. Bell and Allen masterfully play with every situational expectation, from Patrick's reclusive behaviors to the innocent young woman who seems destined for a missing person's photo on a milk carton. There is enough bubbling tension and otherworldly suspense to keep us engaged, even if the concept tests our patience at times.

In Conclusion: 'You'll Never Find Me' finds horror in the mere existence of humanity. Despite this, it doesn't fail to be both relevant and horrifying. The third act, in particular, gave me a jolt, as if I'd been kicked in the boot, but it only added to the overall suspense and intrigue of the film."

Well made smaller Horror flick from Australia!

Good and slower paced, what a nice surprised this one has been. Good acting, minimalistic and well worth the watch.

Wasn't expecting much but it was very enjoyable. The ending wasn't perfect but as with most movies that I end up enjoying alot, the adventure to the end was the best part.

Taking its time to sink its teeth into you instead of going crazy right off the start like many horror movies do these days. They don't earn all the crazyness, but this movie knows how to do pacing very well. Some might find it a tad to slow but for me these are my favorite horror movies, taking there time to sink there teeth into you.

Also its caustrophobic, it takes place pretty much mostly in one small trailer home and it works very well doing it like that. Good, but not great, do to the average ending.

I feel sorry for those who can't develop critical thinking and understand the meaning behind what's shown to them.

This movie is meant for those who can catch simple details AND PAY ATTENTION to the dialog. Everything you'll need to know is there, between the lines: the reason why Patrick thinks the woman's face is familliar, the reason why the woman "changes" her story (where she came from, why she initially says she wants a lift...).

The movie got me hooked till the very ending, when it all made sense.

For me it's a solid 7, they made the best they could with what they had, and succeeded....

The challenge with single-location thrillers or Chamber Pieces (as they call it in cinematic term) is the scarcity of inciting incidents.

Due to the narrative being confined to a singular space with limited number of characters and resources, there is minimal room to expand or experiment

As a result, stories often become repetitive, caught in tiresome cycles. Only exceptional performances from the ensemble and a captivating script with impressive dialogue writing can elevate these elements beyond the anticipated stillness.

I'm pleased to report that "You'll never find me" possesses all of the above qualities and more.

The remarkable cinematography and stunning sound design immediately draw us in from the opening shot, The narrative style keeps us on our toes, with morsels of information prompting us to question the unfolding events. Not to mention, the dynamic between the two central characters maintains our interest until the very end.

There were indeed some moments of ambiguity in the storyline that mandated clarification, I still consider it to be one of the standout psychological thrillers that came out in the recent times.

If twisty turny stories are your thing, then look no further.

Is it an arthouse movie? Is it a horror? A psychological drama? Is it all of the above?

Without giving too much away, I would say that some people will hate the very slow and deliberate script, direction and editing of the 'action'.

I loved the to and fro of the dialogue in the first hour which makes you think the story may go one way or another. Then, when the movie makes its decision it is still compelling, The end was a little contrived for my liking but still, those with a little patience will love the movie.

Has to be said the acting is first class.
