New Release Review - "Don't Move"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2024-11-04

With Don't Move, directors Adam Schindler and Brian Netto, and writers TJ Cimfel and David White, have created a thriller that's literally the stuff of my nightmares. Like the dream I can't shake, it features a prone protagonist, but there's nothing ambiguous or metaphorical about the antagonist, who is simply another predatory man with a God complex.
