‘Don’t Move’ Review: Sam Raimi Produces Modest But Effective Netflix ‘Psycho’-Style Thriller With Finn Wittrock Terrorizing Kelsey Asbille


A review of'Don't Move' from producer Sam Raimi and starring Finn Wittrock as a psychotic killer on the trail of a grieving mother Kelsey Asbille

Shot in Bulgaria which is doubling as California’s beautiful and remote wilderness terrain, we meet a solemn mother named Iris ( Kelsey Asbille), clearly depressed as she looks at the modest memorial with photo of her young son. Back on land her plight worsens as she basically collapses, unable to move or speak anymore, and is rescued by a kindly older man (Moray Treadwell) who takes her inside his very remote cabin to offer some help when…well….you can guess where this all might be going. Although not quite on the level of one of the best examples of this genre, Cape Fear(both versions, but I love Mitchum’s truly menacing and frightening work best in the ’62 original) , Wittrock ( American Horror Story) gets to veer back and forth from normal guy to conniving killer without missing a beat, and he’s effectively creepy because of the fact he seems like your next door neighbor.
