The Girl Who Got Away gives away the hook in the title and then seems strangely unsure of what to do with that premise beyond running through unsurprising beats.

As long as you don't invest too heavily in its early promise, you'll find it a passable piece of entertainment.

The premise may seem simple, but the story is an involved one with great characters and developments.

B-

You might not have all the pieces fitting perfectly, but hindsight quickly fills in the blanks. That's a testament to an underrated script and a deceivingly worthwhile film.

Palyado. Isa sa mga worst horror movie na napanuod ko. Nagsimula na parang solid ang atake pero lumaylay, naging boring hanggang matapos

If I could give it zero stars I would. The horror was predictable and basic. Horrible acting. Horrible dialogue. I couldn’t sit through the whole thing even. Don’t waste your time watching this. Don’t know what the budget was but it came out in 2021 yet seems like it was from 2010…

The movie had predictable twists and plot holes. Bad acting and bad dialogue. It was a good set up but the movie went quickly down hill.
