# Netflix Unveils Gripping Thriller “Don’t Move” That Will Keep You on Edge
As Halloween draws near, Netflix has unveiled a chilling new thriller that aims to maintain viewers’ suspense. Named **”Don’t Move”**, this electrifying film, crafted by horror maestro **Sam Raimi** (renowned for *The Evil Dead* and *Drag Me to Hell*), presents a compelling storyline filled with tension and dread.
## The Storyline
Helmed by **Adam Schindler** and **Brian Netto**, *Don’t Move* revolves around a horrifying encounter between a woman and a psychopath serial killer. The narrative kicks off when the killer, hiding in the forest, comes across a mourning woman. In a noir twist, he administers a paralytic drug that will slowly immobilize her within 20 minutes. Time is of the essence, and the woman must tap into every bit of resilience and cleverness to break free before the drug overtakes her system.
The film’s foundation is straightforward yet remarkably impactful. The suspense escalates as the lead, played by **Kelsey Asbille** (*Yellowstone*), battles against the clock and her physical constraints. Concurrently, **Finn Wittrock** (*Ratched*) embodies the sinister killer, showcasing a haunting performance that will linger with audiences even after the film concludes. **Daniel Francis** (*Bridgerton*) also features as a police officer, contributing another element of mystery to the narrative.
## An Innovative Approach to the Thriller Category
In a film industry often saturated with extended blockbusters, *Don’t Move* distinguishes itself with a brisk runtime of merely 90 minutes. This compact thriller makes every minute count, crafting a swift, heart-racing adventure. As **Jim Vorel** from *Paste Magazine* remarked in his critique, the film’s succinctness is one of its assets: “*Don’t Move’s* lead may be immobilized, but the film maintains just enough vigor and threat to keep it engaging.”
The film’s tension is amplified by the unique hurdle confronted by the lead actress. In a conversation with *Netflix Tudum*, producer **Sam Raimi** admitted to initial worries regarding the audience’s endurance: “The script demanded our actress to remain still for extended scenes, and I was concerned… yet the directors executed it splendidly, increasing the suspense as it progressed.”
## An Essential Viewing for Thriller Aficionados
Although *Don’t Move* might not attain the legendary acclaim of classics like *Psycho*, it delivers an exhilarating and refreshing viewing experience ideal for a pre-Halloween binge. The film’s blend of a straightforward yet impactful storyline, powerful performances, and unyielding suspense makes it a necessity for genre enthusiasts.
If you’re seeking a swift, adrenaline-fueled thrill, *Don’t Move* is now available for streaming on Netflix. Just ensure you’re prepared for an intense 90 minutes that will leave you gasping.
