Many points to mention, unfortunately... Spoiler alert, for those who aren't turned off by the poor ratings.
Bad. Acting. As our poor damsel in distress is searching for a weapon, or a bobby pin, or a way out, her head turns up, down, side, side, behind her, up again, all while breathing more heavily than even this dire situation calls for.
She literally narrates her thought process in a few places. An example, the first time the killer locks her in the bedroom, the door clicks as he leave, and suddenly she can't open it. Aloud, she wonders, "did he lock it?" ...
Also, how many times must this poor woman painfully hop up and down that enormous staircase before she accepts the guest bedroom on the first floor, which is literally what the crazy murderer offered her in the first place. Even Mr. "I'll just kill and half-bury (or forget to bury altogether) everybody I see, and kidnap a co-worker, at whom I've been photographed on multiple occasions staring creepily from across the room, with zero consequences" could see the logic in that move.
Also, how random is the tattoo-to-last-name connection? Maybe I'm not aware of an entire sub-law of tattoos, where only "Allens" can buy that particular font, of that particular letter? So much to learn...
Also, why is this ankle-broken-in-multiple-places woman able to constantly slip away quickly and quietly away from a physically fit hell-bent psychopath?
Also, when she finally knocks him out and takes his keys, why is her first thought to run outside on her disabled foot and halfheartedly hobble through sparse trees looking for a phone signal, instead of going for one of the many cars she's already discovered in the garage?
Every "saved by the bell" moment lunged in at exactly the last second, over and over, to the point where you could sit back and predict a save to the near-second, based solely on how intense the music was getting.
Why didn't her actual husband's parents conduct an investigation? Her parents weren't the only people who would miss two happy and contributing-to-society people.
Also, huge point of order, amnesia? But only about recent memories? She knew both her actual husband and the creepy-co-worker-turned-murdered for YEARS, why didn't that translate on through the fog?
I ended up watching it through the end simply in the hopes of one, simple plot twist, that would make up for the impossibly predictable show's trajectory (the one big twist is literally played out in the trailer), and finished off this disappointing movie with that one last let down. While it's heartening that the detective is able to move on from the tragic loss of his daughter after all these years, the heroine is able to move past the horrific murders of her parents and her soulmate, as well as the PTSD of being kidnapped and psychologically tortured for weeks, in just three months.
I really don't mean to be cruel... these are just honest questions I have mulling around in my mind after watching this very awful movie, and I just really want the head space back, please.
