À propos de ce film

Newlywed Elizabeth (Abbey Lee) arrives with her brilliant scientist husband Henry (Ciaran Hinds) to his magnificent estate, where he wows her with lavish dinners and a dazzling tour of the property. The house staff, Claire (Carla Gugino) and Oliver (Matthew Beard), treats her deferentially but she can't shake the feeling something is off. Henry explains that everything in his world now belongs to her, all is for her to play in - all except for a locked-off room he forbids her from entering. When he goes away for business Elizabeth decides to investigate and finds she may not be who she thinks she is at all.

Notes et avis

As with all thrillers I never watch the trailer. I picked this film based on the director and a reliably good supporting cast. Abbey Lee is compelling and deserving of the lead role. The writer/director has skillfully and intelligently crafted a thriller which explores fascinating themes. You might think you know where this is going and you could be right. But you won't know how it will get there. The creative team have conjured an appropriate atmosphere to support and enhance the story. I'll definitely be experiencing this again. Looking forward to seeing what Abbey and the director do next.

A story that has no loose ends or dumb bits, which is all a psychological movie fan needs.
