Featured reviews
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.
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.

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.

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.
