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.

Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org 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. Jun 23, 2023 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting 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. Rated: 3/5 Jun 12, 2023 Full Review Terry Staunton Radio Times 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. Rated: 3/5 Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Pop Culture Reviews In this psychologic horror/thriller, Lloyd encapsulates trauma and paranoia with sensitivity and care. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Chad Collins 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 Apr 1, 2024 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Picking up where many horror movies leave off, this tightly wound psychological thriller is a powerfully unsettling glimpse into trauma and paranoia.

Unicorn C This isn't a horror. Those saying that this is a psychological thriller are more accurate but also unsolved mystery. This movie has blink and you miss it key details that make you piece together what might have happened without ever actually explaining what's happen to Meg(our main character) past and present. She was kidnapped but you only get that detail in the gas station on the TV to start off with. And again, blink and you miss it. Her perspective is unreliable, this movie isn't sure which stereotypes it wants to play into so it dips it's fingers into multiple. I was left with sooo many questions!! Is the grandmother a hallucination or an apparition? Who was actually sleep walking? Is Madeline actually the husband's cousin and if so did they actually kiss? Did they have an incestuous affair while Meg was missing and presumed dead? How long has the grandmother been dead? Who actually kidnapped Meg? Why did Scott go up to the cabin while she was missing? How does Maddie know what Meg did with the fisherman? Maybe a second watch would do some good but.. if you wanna be left puzzled and with several loose ends untied this would be a great watch for you. But fair warning, nothing is truly explained, and don't tear your eyes off the screen or look away. You will miss these clues-- the broken plate and in who's trash, the hard drive, sleep walking, grandma, meg cheating, auditory hallucinations, Scott saying MEG was sleepwalking (what??), meg's charade paper, the legal papers, and meg's journal. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/24/25 Full Review Junger F I think the branding of "Horror" is what has garnered much of the unjustified negative criticism for this film. As a psychological thriller it truly shines. Most of the ire for this movie is centered on its ambiguity, but the confusion and lack of clarity is the entire premise and without it there is nothing. Don't watch if you're expecting cheap scares or excessive violence and gore, this is a thinker's thriller. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/25 Full Review Stephen G There is so much tension created by our actors portrayals of their characters, I find it hard not to throw my remote. I'm not enjoying the vibe, but I really want to see my main character say "enough is enough" and so something about the indifference by her mate and his cousin's sociopathic behavior. The film is giving off some horrible family secret vibes, dread folks my mind trying to figure out the next play. The deception is masterfully played, all my hopes for this one are validated by how this is played out. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/13/25 Full Review Karen L. It was very awkward and was very misleading And a lot of questions where never answered Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/08/25 Full Review Jen J It’s a brilliant modern gothic. Perhaps it is too deep for others rating this movie so poorly. If you enjoy movies like Rebecca and you don’t need every move or inference explained - then this is your movie. That’s what a psychological thriller is. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/25 Full Review laurent b I loved this movie because I also loved its cinematography and acting. It is very nicely filmed, in an elegant way, very slow, but gripping. So, I wouldn't recommend it to persons that have attention problems (concentration problems), which is sadly often the case now, especially with the new numeric habits, as we all know. The acting is also very good, with a great casting that is perfectly fit to the characters of the movie. The Storyline is also interesting, not for the suspense which exists but can always be predictable for people who are only attached to the surface. But the psychological side of it is incredible. Very deep. And that is to me, the most interesting feature of this movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review Read all reviews
