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.

Dread Central

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

Cinemalogue

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

'Somewhere Quiet'’s magic doesn’t lie in a multitude of jump scares (although there are swaths of disturbing images sprinkled in), but the fact that trauma acts like that piece of gum that never quite gets off the bottom of your shoe.

Somewhere Quiet may not quite reach classic level, but it’s a tightly crafted exercise in the art of seething.

Somewhere Quiet features some great subtle acting. The story does leave a lot for the viewer to fill in the blanks. I admit, I had to go back and re-read the synopsis mid-movie to recall the off-screen trauma that had occurred.

Definitely not light or relaxing, "Somewhere Quiet" induces subtle social commentary through a psychologically sophisticated journey into manipulation, trauma and its impact on relationships. Clearly more a drama movie than a horror one (which might explain the low ratings from the audience as due to mismatched expectations).

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

What an incredible job showing how real trauma works in this scenario. Well paced and scripted. You get to see the depths of the human psyche break down after such an event before, during, and after. Understanding how the story unfolds and how this happens is breathtaking and keeps you glued to the end.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

It was just OK. That's more than I was willing to really say, but if me saying less prevents you from wasting your time watching this movie, then you can thank me later and move on for now.

I am actually pissed at the fact that this movie was even made and released. This does not quality as a completed movie. Ultimately, it made no sense and was completely pointless.

Like being in a stylized fever dream. Lots of disturbing imagery, probably some symbolism, definitely some flickers of subconscious bias. But, when you awake, dazed and confused and vaguely annoyed, you realize it amounted to less than nothing, wasn't really scary at all, and it will all be blissfully forgotten by the time you have morning coffee. Acting was superb. Amazing to see what the incredible talent managed given a script that amounts to watching a film-school recreation of a third-hand account of your roommate's ayahuasca trip.
