Shelter in Place

Nowadays it's so common for films to adhere to strict plot structures, so I admired the director's restraint and ability to allow the audience to have space to breathe and reflect. It felt like a Kurosawa film at times or more modern, Norway's new "Slow TV" craze. The story points are thin at times but I'd love to imagine that was by design much like my favorite titles from Eastern Cinema. Overall, it isn't everyone's cup of tea, especially those looking for jump scares, but I had a good experience.

The storyline of a couple getting stranded during their honeymoon is what initially attracted me to this film, but it is so much more! What starts out as a romantic vacation unravels and gets SO creepy along the way. Thought-provoking and suspenseful, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I highly recommend this film.

Finally seeing reviews of a film where 100% of the first 15 reviews are fake (aka first-timers/friends of the film). It was watchable, but very boring almost all the way through. No sensible ending or backstory just makes you feel like a potato for watching it.

The plot line is what initially intrigued me in regards to the relatability of sudden lockdowns. This movie keeps you invested with the characters and eager to see just what is going to happen next!! Would recommend !
