There's some particularly nasty twists in this one though as to why Mr Nasty is detaining young ladies, so I won't spoil that one as the build-up to the reveal is quite well done!
We follow Noa as she's swept off her feet by Mr Nice Guy (later turning out to be Mr Nasty, with a mission) and lured into a nice (surprise) countryside weekend away. He purposely made it a surprise for reasons that become apparent (at least until her phone signal went away)! You'd like to think that girls would be more sensible, but this one wasn't!
She was played by Daisy Edgar-Jones (Twisters, Cold Feet) and very nicely too as her character leapt from desperately seeking love, to realisation of the horror she faced, to attempting to plot an escape. Yes, I guess it's a survival tale, but one with a gruesome twist and turn or three!
It's all very far-fetched of course, but many good grizzly thrillers are, so that's alright! Sebastian Stan (Captain America) plays the fruit-loop fairly convincingly and the rest of the cast keep up well-enough too. It's quite nicely constructed, fairly well shot and produced. Has a lot going for it, for this genre and worth a look for us fans of grizzle!
