You'll Never Find Me

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....

Great first act of tension building and mysterious intrigue... starts to lose itself pretty quickly and by the final act it's a complete and total mess with zero resolve. There seems to be this recent trend of writers just completely unable to create an ending. In this case it feels a bit like they not only ran out of ideas, but budget as well- as the finale just ends up being a disjointed pile of cheap horror imagery. Great performances, and there's probably a movie in here somewhere that could have been great- sadly it just feels like it has no idea what it wants to be, and never recovers from the confusion. Ends up being a waste of time unfortunately.

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.

What a mixed experience this turned out to be! The writing constantly keeps you guessing for the first two acts, and the fantastic sound design and lighting choices add to the underlying mystique. The two lead performances are deliciously first-rate, making us question their inner motives with each passing scene.. at least for a good chunk of the film's first hour. The framing in these sections consists of several uncomfortable, unforeseen close-ups. But by the time it moves into the final act, a sudden wave of "oh no!" just takes over, replete with overblown edits and messy color patterns.

And to think, the same film effortlessly made me feel on edge during the initial (often philosophical) exchanges between the two characters, further deflates the experience overall. The woman character, especially, is oddly written. There are stretches where we as audiences are made to think she's harboring some dark secrets (or questioning if she's even a real person or just a manifestation?), and a little later, the same applies to the man. This leads to random jumps in character perspectives, albeit for short periods. Also, while the man's state of mind gets somewhat better detailing in the final act, the woman's side of things lacks a finite arc (..and was that even intentional?).

This movie had the potential to be something amazing with the initial one hour that it takes to set everything up. However, in the end the creators went for a weak ending which didn't stack up to all the investment made by the viewers upfront. It almost seemed like theu ran out of ideas on how to end the movie and took the easy way out. The acting is on point and the tension is always there. The camera work and the lighting is also done super well. The ending for horrors or thrillers are hard to set up, but the disappointment becomes even more pronounced when the story holds a lot of promise upfront. This is such a case.
