So after watching the Happening, I decided to watch a, you know, actual REAL movie to stimulate my brain.
Searching. This movie was EXCELLENT. Incredibly well directed, acted and scripted. As an aspiring writer, this is the kind of movie that makes me angry that I didn't think of this first haha. I don't have kids but this movie really did an impeccable job of capturing that fear that no parent should ever experience. This movie was tense AF and incredibly gripping and compelling and it was so creative the way it was all essentially told from an iMac computer. My only ding is I feel the film's ending....pulled its punch a little. I'm not mad at the ending we got and I can see why they elected to go that route but....lets just say they could've gone another route that might've been a lot heavier and bolder. But all in all, as a fan of crime/suspense/mystery films, I'm hard to impress or surprise and this one's twists genuinely surprised me and captivated me. Highly recommend.
9.5/10
