SO, MOVIE REVIEW. TW: MILD TALK OF BLOOD, DEATH, AND INTRUDERS. NOW NORMALLY I DONT WATCH THESE KIND OF MOVIES, AND IT COULD DEFINITELY BE CALLED HORROR OR PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER, IM NOT SURE. BUT FOR THE SAKE OF IT LETS CALL IT A HORROR. ANYWAY, THE.MOVIE STARS A YOUNG DEAF/MUTE AUTHOR NAMED MADDIE. SHE LIVES IN ISOLATION IN THE WOODS, AND THE SETTING IS HER HOME IN THE MIDDLE OF A PICTURESQUE FOREST SOMEWHERE IN NORTH AMERICA JUDGING BY THE ACCENT AND SCENERY. ONE DAY A MURDERER WHOS MADE 11 OR 12 KILLS ALREADY SHOWS UP AT HER DOOR, AND DECIDES SHES A GOOD TARGET. LONG STORY SHORT, HE TORMENTS HER AND TRIES TO KILL HER, *HOWEVER* SHES A BADASS DEAF/MUTE GIRL(DUE TO CHILDHOOD MENINGITIS) AUTHOR, AND REALIZES GOING OUTSIDE, HIDING, AND WAITING, ALL RESULT IN HER DEMISE, SO THE ONLY OPTION IS TO FIGHT BACK AND KILL HER TORMENTER. I LIKE THIS MOVIE, NOT FOR THE PLOT OR GENRE SPECIFICALLY , BUT FOR THE FACT THE PROTAGONIST IS A STRONG, INTELLIGENT, AND INDEPENDENT DISABLED GIRL WHO FIGHTS FOR HER LIFE NO MATTER THE COST, AND EVEN OF SHE WERE TO DIE SHE LEAVES EVIDENCE AND A DESCRIPTION OF WHO WOULD HAVE KILLED HER FOR THE POLICE SO HE COULD BE CAUGHT AND NOT HURT ANYONE ELSE. WHEN SHE FINDS OUT HER FRIEND IS KILLED BY SAID MURDERER, SHE ALLOWS HERSELF A FEW MOMENTS FOR A BREAKDW, BUT PULLS HERSELF TOGETHER SO SHE CAN CONTINUE TO WORK OUT HOW TO SURVIVE. SHE BANDAGES HER WOUNDS AND BARRICADES HER HOME VIA LOCKS WITHOUT STAYING IN ONE PLACE LIKE DEAD MEAT, WHICH ALL SHOW QUICK THINKING AND INTELLIGENCE AND THE WILL TO SURVIVE. THE WRITERS I THINK PORTRAY HER INTELLIGENCE AND RESILIENCE WITHOUT DIALOGUE ON HER PART FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE MOVIE AND THE ACTRESS DOES THIS WELL TOO. THERE IS A BENEVOLENT MALE CHARACTER BUT ITA NOT WRITTEN AS A "DAMSEL IN DISTRESS" TROPE. HE HELPS HOW HE CAN THOUGH HES DYING TO BUU HER AS MUCH TIME AS HE CAN, AND THROUGH THE SCENE THE FOCUS SHIFTS BUT ITS STILL OBVIOUS THAT HE KNOWS HE HAS TO DO WHAT HE CAN TO HELP HER, BUT ITS STILL VERY MUCH ABOUT HER AND *NOT* HIM SAVING HER. (WHICH DOESN'T HAPPEN, SHE SAVES HERSELF THANK YOU VERY MUCH.) IVE ALREADY SPOILED A LOT (MOST OF IT, SORRY) AND I DONT PLAN ON SPOILING ANY MORE, BUT SHE IS STRONG AND GOOD. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND IT TO PEOPLE WHO CAN STOMACH BLOOD, INJURY, MINOR CHARACTER DEATH, AND RELATIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR(ITS NOT VERY STRONG, JUST THE SIMPLE "MURDERER HAVING FUN WOTH THEIR 'PREY'" TROPE AND SHIT). HOWEVER, IF YOURE SUSCEPTIBLE TO PARANOIA AND FEAR OF INTRUDERS I WOULD BE CAUTIOUS. FEEL FREE TO TALK TO ME IF YOU WANT TO WATCH IT AND DETAILS OF THE MOVIE WOULD HELP YOU, OR EVEN IF SOMEONE TO TALK TO DURING THE MOVIE WOULD HELP IF YOU'RE DEAD SET ON IT, AND WE CAN SCHEDULE A TIME TO TALK OR EVEN RABBIT STREAM IT. ALL IN ALL I GIVE THIS MOVIE 5/5 CRABS AND I WOULD WATCH IT AGAIN FOR MADDIE, THE BADASS RESILIENT, SMART, STRONG, DISABLED GIRL, WHO STARS IN THE MOVIE WITHOUT HAVING IT BE ALL ABOUT HER DISABILITY AND LACK OF HEARING. THIS HAS BEEN KARKATS MOVIE REVIEWS. STAY TUNED IN THE "REVIEWS" TAG ON MY BLOG FOR MORE, AND YOU CAN EVEN REQUEST MOVIES TO BE REVIEWED IF YOURE UNSURE ABOUT IF YOU CAN HANDLE CONTENT BUT WANT TO WATCH IT ANYWAY. THANKS FOR READING, HAPPY VIEWING.
