What a film I have for you today! It’s exciting, weird and quite creepy. You need to focus on it 100% not to miss a thing and feel this awkwardness coming from the screen. Everything was done so well… and then… then the yellow scarf appeared… No spoilers for now. Let’s introduce you to the story. We get a cute little family, Ray (Sam Worthington), Joanne (Lily Rabe) and their daughter Peri (Lucy Capri). The parents are arguing about some family issues while driving a car. At some point they stop and an accident happens. Peri gets injured and needs to be taken to the hospital. They wait for a very long time, fill in plenty of papers, answer tons of questions and the girl is finally admitted for treatment. She needs to be tested, so the doctors let only one parent go with her. Joanne follows her child and Ray stays in the waiting room. Time passes and his girls are not returning. Worried about them he tries asking the staff, but, surprisingly, nobody can find any note about Peri being treated in this hospital. As if those two have never been there. And here we go! The game is on and our minds start burning. I had so much fun guessing how it will all end and, to be honest, I was almost right. But I’m pretty sure some of you may be shocked, because the ending isn’t obvious and I had to put my brain on a big fire to come up with it. And here comes a small spoiler, so if you haven’t seen the film, DO NOT READ IT! Because you will ruin the game! So… ONCE AGAIN DON’T. Okay, those who’ve seen it, here we go: at some point Ray finds Peri’s yellow scarf. Alright, perhaps he was using it to stop the bleeding, but hey, several hours, plenty of patients, nurses, doctors and staff and nobody noticed a YELLOW scarf on a totally colourless floor? A bit naive… And the second thing (which is an even bigger spoiler, so if you’re still reading it, you rebellious creature, stop now): since Ray was suspected for a murder, why did they take him to the place of the accident BUT didn’t check his car? So I wasn’t happy about those two things, but the rest was generally awesome. It was a very thrilling thriller. Bravo.
My rating: 7/10
