Existential Dread • Body Count • Retribution Reels Sometimes it’s easy to award points for character depth or plot continuity; other times, a film can do everything "right" and still fail to resonate. As I’ve mentioned [in previous reviews], The Cell (2000) utterly ruined how I gauge a legitimately "good" movie. The Girl Who Got Away (2021) is a prime example of a technically solid flick that nonetheless misses the mark of a cinematic masterpiece.
It’s not often that I find a genuinely decent horror movie on Netflix. Nothing against the platform, but until recently, their horror and horror-adjacent releases often felt geared toward a "Young Adult" demographic—relying on sanitized tropes and rudimentary character development. However, The Girl Who Got Away distinguishes itself through a more sophisticated psychological lens.
