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.

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.

This was so bad I have no words. So much happened yet there was no plot. Also an unnecessary amount of characters. The script gave Reddit it was so ass.

Starts off very strong and then becomes mediocre and unfocused. Some scenes are just not well executed and feel forced. The twist doesn't make much sense at the end. The dialogue is very bland and generic. It was so bad when the main character says "the serial killer" instead of using the name of the character just to explain the story to the members of the audience that weren't paying attention anyways...

This was slow at first but the deeper it gets the better it becomes. It has many twists and turns. When you think you know you don't really know anything. Great movie.

A very mediocre poorly acted horror movie. Flimsy and predictable.

The build up was slow, once the plot thickens the pace picked up rapidly! The twist was good I didn’t see it coming however the amount of flashbacks and suggestions made it confusing, by the end I needed to look up some explanations just to get clarification.

Phenomenal hidden gem. Keeps you on your toes and thinking throughout the whole film, it has a good story and even adds twists. Those who rate it low clearly just didn’t pay attention. Definitely recommend.
