I watch a lot of movies and shows, figure why not put my binge watching to good use?

I’ve been thinking about sharing whumpy movies and creating a “Whump Movie Spotlight” series, if you will. I’ll keep them spoiler-free and as objective as possible (this isn’t a review). I'll share bullet point details (and their 2-3 sentence copy/pasted descriptions) that go over the basics. If y’all want specific information, feel free to let me know what you would like to see going forward: leave a comment on this, shoot a message or an ask, or even add your own two cents in a reblog if you wish.

(These aren’t my favorite movies and I won’t even particularly like all these that I share; so if you don’t like them, that’s totally fine, I’ll have my scruples too. Just trying to showcase some lesser-known films featuring whump themes.)

Without further ado:

Whump Movie Spotlight:

ALONE (R) 2020 / 1h 37m

When a lone traveler flees the city looking for a fresh start, she meets a sadistic stalker who tries to make the wilderness her final destination.

A thrilling fast-paced psychological-suspense drama.

Cabin in the woods vibe: seclusion, isolation, man vs. nature, hunter vs hunted (lost in what I’m assuming is the Oregon wilderness)

Has an on-the-edge-of-your-seat feel

Low budget but doesn’t feel like it where it matters

Better than expected cinematography 

No NSFW/sexual scenes (sorta alluded to for a sec but nothing comes of it)

No torture. Just some mild beatings, a drugging, and a couple scramble fights.

Serial-killer-esque

Brief captivity

Run for your life

Nightmare roadtrip

Fleeing from the demons of your past only to run into the Devil

2022 JOURNAL » Alone (2020) dir. John Hyams My name is Jessica Swanson and if this is the last time you hear from me, it’s because your husband killed me.

Note: Top ten hottest characters, part sixteen. Hiram would probably be top five if I actually watched Riverdale. At the beginning of Yesterday, I was actually planning on putting Jack on here. 

10. Hiram Lodge (Mark Consuelos) from Riverdale

I don’t watch this show, but evil businessman hot. 

9. Quirinus Quirrell (Ian Hart) from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone 

Imagine the head game. Why is his obsequiousness so attractive? 

8. Valiant Thor (Cody Fern) from American Horror Story: Death Valley

Finally, an evil male sexbot. 

7. Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) from Justified

If anyone had to be consensually handcuffed to a bed and have P-A-N-T-I-E-S shoved in his mouth, it should have been him.

6. Gavin (Alexander Arnold) from Yesterday

Poor guy. It was a jerk move for Jack to confess his love for someone else’s girlfriend IN FRONT OF MILLIONS. 

5. Evan Smith (James Earl) from The Belko Experiment

He’s secured my heart. 

4. Nothing (Evan Jonigkeit) from The Night House

When he’s not disguised as Beth’s husband in the raw, he’s a geometric menace. And still hot. 

3. Roberto da Costa (Henry Zaga) from The New Mutants

Why did they delete his fanservice scenes?

2. Bill Gambini (Ralph Macchio) from My Cousin Vinny

He’s a cute little thing. 

1. Aidan (Tyler Posey) from Alone

I watched this intently and I don’t even like zombie movies. All for the Posey booty.

Note: Previous part. Gavin was the Pete Best of the AU. Anyone remember Justified’s Tiny in Fixer? MY KINDA MAN. I would write for him if his scene was on YouTube. :(
