“A seasoned killer injects a grieving woman with a paralytic agent. She must run, fight, and hide before her body shuts down.” This is the synopsis of Netflix’s new movie, Don’t Move, starring Kelsey Asbille and Finn Wittrock (American Horror Story). The film brings viewers into the chilling tale of a serial killer. If you’re wondering whether it’s worth a watch, keep reading for the answer.
The short answer: yes, Don’t Move is a good movie. Despite the familiar tropes of the “killer-chase” genre, where the protagonist must escape from her attacker, the standout performances by leads Asbille and Wittrock bring a unique touch. Their chemistry and on-screen presence carry the film, with much of the plot relying on their dynamic. Even though it may feel basic or cliché at times, you’ll need to pay attention—the situation can shift at any moment, and missing a beat could mean losing track of the plot. The production also plays with viewer impulses; despite the film’s premise of a paralyzed woman who can’t move, you’ll find yourself silently shouting, “Move!”
On the downside, there are the classic clichés: the police fooled by the killer, the supporting character who tries to help but ultimately fails to save the victim… the usual elements in this type of story. However, despite these predictable aspects, Don’t Move is still worth watching.
