Months after escaping a brutal kidnapping, Meg travels with her husband, Scott, to his family's isolated compound in Cape Cod, hoping the early winter quiet will give her space to recover and for them to reconnect. Shortly after they arrive, however, the couple discovers they are not alone on the property. Scott's charming but overbearing cousin, Madelin, is staying next door. To Meg's surprise, the two are quite close and soon Madelin's presence is inescapable. With each passing day Meg and Scott's already fragile relationship begins to fracture, while Meg is haunted by vivid nightmares, visions of an old woman lurking in the woods, and a growing suspicion that Scott and Madelin are hiding something from her. As the tension in the house grows, Meg begins to act out in increasingly reckless ways, setting into motion a series of disturbing events that shatters the thin barrier of civility between her and the cousins. Subtle manipulation gives way to violent confrontation as Scott and Madelin reveal their troubling history and Meg learns the truth about her abduction.

This movie offers an extraordinary sense of indefinable visceral dread and a deeply satisfying mystery, all framed through the lens of Lloyd’s radical rethinking of the final girl.

For those that don’t mind wading into the darker recesses of a fractured mind, Somewhere Quiet offers a melancholic, intimate, and moody seaside epilogue of a Final Girl’s story.

Kim does well as a survivor trying to process trauma and cling on to her sanity, and Audley confidently blurs the line between sympathetic and potentially menacing.

Dread Central

Somewhere Quiet is a promising debut from Olivia West Lloyd even if it’s regularly constrained by the horror convention of today.

Rated: 3/5

Cinemalogue

Picking up where many horror movies leave off, this tightly wound psychological thriller is a powerfully unsettling glimpse into trauma and paranoia.

I've never posted a film review online before, but this movie was so bad that I felt I must let people know. It's really terrible and I don't recommend it.

I enjoyed this slow burn, and also enjoyed filling in the large gaps the director left between the lines This seems to be what others didn't like about the film, but there is actually alot of information in there, just seen through the paranoid and disassociating eyes of Meg who has survived a brutal kidnapping. I would enjoy a follow up, to see what actually happened at the end of the film, as the audience is left wondering ..... and also, of course, to find out the truth behind the kidnapping. In fact I will be disappointed if there is no follow up and this was a one off study of the effects of trauma.....

Terrible movie that had no tense scenes and a plot that couldn’t keep me interested.

This movie lacked any kind of plot. The single interesting or surprising twist was painfully apparent from half an hour in. The atmosphere was nothing, and as for the "horror" part of the movie, my brother gets nightmares from the harry potter movies and I would still show this to him, because this movie lacks any horror. I would not recommend it, but its only an hour and a half long so at least you wont waste too much of your time.

An absolute pile of dog crap. Everyone giving this movie a good rating just wants to feel sophisticated. Every scene was pointless. The only thing "Horror" about this was the god awful direction and writing. The acting was pretty good. Its too bad that Rotten Tomatoes allows completely disingenuous critic reviews. This movie should be a 10% across the board.
