‘Locked’ Review: Anthony Hopkins Terrorizes Bill Skarsgard In An SUV From Hell
A review of 'Locked' in which a petty thief Bill Skarsgard steals a SUV from Anthony Hopkins and lives to regret it when he becomes trapped in it.
This one has Bill Skarsgard as Eddie, a deadbeat but well-meaning dad to Sarah (Ashley Cartwright), and petty thief whose attempt to steal a luxury SUV turns into disaster because its unseen psycho vigilante owner named William ( Anthony Hopkins) has rigged it so bad things happen and there is no way out as he continues to pull the strings remotely in this motorized fortress as he carries on a conversation with the imprisoned Eddie. This concept came from Mariano Cohn’s 2019 Argentinian 4 x 4, and put through the remake machine by producer Sam Raimi who has given it a reason to exist due to the casting of its two stars, both no strangers to horror as Skarsgard is coming off Nosferatu and as Pennywise in It, and Hopkins of course won an Oscar as Hannibal Lecter, a character so vivid the current President of the United States kept bringing him up at campaign rallies apparently believing he was real. Certainly Yarovesky skillfully steers the action in such a confined space, sometimes quite cleverly, and Michael Dallatorre’s camerawork also does the job, although if you are claustrophobic this may not be the dream date movie for you.
