In the Dark (2019)
In The Dark Review *** SPOILERS***
***SPOILERS***
The series starts out with Murphy Mason finding her friend in a state where she believes him to be dead, and when his body disappears and the police refuse to look for him she is forced to play detective to try to find his killer which turns out to be a corrupt cop, Detective Dean Riley who uses his disabled daughter as an excuse to be a bad person. "I'm doing this for Chloe (played by blind actress, Calle Walton)." He is the perfect example of a helicopter parent.
Murphy is fiercely loyal to her friends and will do literally anything to keep them as safe as possible and feels badly when her choices start effecting them.
Don't Look Down (1998)
This film is a thriller with a touch of horror
Spoiler Alert.
I've watched several of Wes Craven's films and considering that most of his films are all horror with a side of grotesque, they may be disappointed in the film. I on the other hand would rather watch thrillers and try to guess who is trying to gaslight the heck out of whom, loved this film. It kept me on the edge of my seat and even though I was correct from the get go that it was the husband (because in these types of films it's always either the husband or the wife) who was doing this I was not disappointed in trying to figure out how he was doing what he was doing. With one of his comments I am wondering if he had been dipping his hand so to say into little sis. All I can say is I was surprised to see it was Billy Burke whom I have seen in a lot of hero type roles or the loving father of Bella Swan. I never would have guessed it was him with him being clean shaven and a LOT younger.
Carla loves her sister, and was her guardian since their parents deaths.
When her sister dies in what she thinks is an accident she feels as though she failed her sister and begins to have panic attacks when she is in high open places.
When she is at work one day she is unable to perform her duties as a news journalist so her husband goes looking for unconventional therapy.
It takes a lot of convincing but the group's leader lets her into the group unbeknown that Carla's husband has other plans for the group. As the members start to dwindle one by one, they have to find out who is picking them off.
The creepiest part of the movie is hearing Rachel whisper Carla's name after Carla's husband has died just after admitting how he had tried to kill her and in order to make it seem as though Carla's crazy he drugged her with hallucinogenics and then watched her freak out.
