You Don’t Own Me Written by John Madara, Dave White (as David Ernest White) Starring Deep Sea Diver Natalie Closner
“Don’t Own Me” left me torn between giving it a 6 or 7, but in the end, the quality of the acting made me give it a 7. The cast gives solid performances that ground the film, bringing depth and believability to their roles, adding much-needed intensity to an otherwise familiar story. Each actor seems genuinely invested in their character’s fear and vulnerability, which translates into a sense of realism that is often lacking in horror and thrillers.
Visually, “Don’t Move” does a great job of creating a creepy, unsettling atmosphere
This commitment from the actors helps to heighten the tension, even as the plot remains predictable. The setting is meticulously crafted and enhances the sense of confinement that the story demands. The cinematography makes good use of these spaces, using tight shots and dark imagery to draw the audience into the characters’ headspace, capturing the sense of dread that permeates the entire setting.
The sound design and lighting work hand in hand to heighten the tension
The constant pressure of “time” intensifies the tension and creates a constant sense of unease, making each moment more urgent and dangerous. The director skillfully builds tension with subtle sound cues, creaks, and echoes that enhance the film’s eeriness. The film makes effective use of silence, creating an unsettling silence that is only broken by sudden, jarring sounds that land with greater impact.
may not be groundbreaking, it still manages to capture some classic horror thrills
Ultimately, it’s a solid, atmospheric thriller that shines with production quality and acting, offering enough suspense and chilling moments to make it worth a watch for fans of the genre. No need to waste time scrolling endlessly — here’s a whole slew of new movies and TV shows streaming on Netflix this month.
