    not bad at all

    Worth a watch and good acting. You are routing for her the whole time. A good storyline almost believable. The lead lady is a very good actor but i cant really remmebr seeing her in anything else.

    A solid little thriller

    I was actually very impressed with DJ Caruso's cinematography and how he was able to make great use of the very small location.

    About 50-60% of this film takes place in a pantry, with the rest happening in the surrounding single house, yet it never feels like Caruso uses the same camera angle twice. The perspective is constantly shifting, and it makes this location feel bigger and this story feel more eventful than they are on paper.

    So, I never felt bored. The script gives Jessica just enough to do and just enough to say so that we can really understand her as a character and get to know her goals and her thought process.

    But the script also tries to give her a redemption arc, and these are unfortunately the parts that came across as really cheesy to me. Whenever the film focused on this, the dialogue was very forced.

    The ending also leaves something to be desired. It goes from gritty thriller to corny fairytale ending and it was kind of laughable.

    Still, I'm impressed that The Daily Wire made something apolitical and competently helmed. Props to them!

    Average

    Not bad. Some suspense and some plot holes. Overall entertaining, but the amount of 10 ratings is laughable. We're not talking the next Shawshank here. The Daily Wire homers giving it (10's) or the hater's that give it a (1 ) is ridiculous. I'm pretty sure it's neither the greatest or the worst movie these reviewers have seen.

    Really Good - I'm Stunned

    Don't listen to the haters who have clearly not seen this movie and still gave it a rating. I saw it and I'm actually quite surprised at the high quality of the production value. The entire cast but especially the lead was outstanding. I'm talking award-worthy. Everything is intense and every scene is riveting. The third act was genuinely surprising as was the entire film. I highly recommend this endeavor.

    Shut In

    It wasn't bad at all, it was pretty much what I expected. It was boring in the beginning until the half of the movie but then it became more intense, the performances were great though, I think I needed some more tension to like it more but it was okay, I don't think I would watch it a second time though.
