An interesting take on how trauma is the perfect cauldron for predators to use. Alex is the perfect victim for a monster who stops at nothing until he meets his agenda. Yes, there’s a reason for why he does what he does. You will be shocked.

Rated: 3.2/5

Midwest Film Journal

Strong character set-up and performances are let down by a third act that doesn't stick the landing.

Rated: 2.5/5

The sharp and violent road the film veers onto wasn't necessary, but the two lead actors make the journey worth taking.

Rated: B-

Absolutely ridiculous and corny. I don't know how it got an 86% rating. Usually Rotten Tomatoes is reliable, but this is one of the very rare times it failed. Maybe a Gen Z is impressed with an irrational twist that makes zero sense.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
