Sanctuary 2022
"You are not me. And you never will be."
Psychological warfare. Daddy issues. Power games. Br***ing Kink??? Romance???
Directed with precision just like the sharp edged writing. SANCTUARY is visually and vocally tense. A visceral thriller with some phenomenal performances.
Been reading a lot of "villianess" manhwa and this was giving me those same good, vindictive, unhinged "I'm not stuck in here with you, you are stuck in here with me and ill ruin your life and you'll love me for it" vibes.

the only way out is through, to meet violence with violence.
It is a low budget fair made by an 18 year old. So while…

No Exit 2022
"This isn't a hole. It's a grave."
A true chiller!
I thought once they revealed who the kidnapper was that it would be less compelling but wow, no. This is a simple premise that was able to stay shockingly anxiety inducing, upsetting, and thrilling. Safe to say, I enjoyed this more than I expected.
I want to see Havana Rose Liu in more! I watched her in a drama last week, now a thriller, I'll watch her in any genre!

Station Eleven 2021
"I stood looking over the damage, trying to remember the sweetness of life on Earth."
Every episode was stronger than the last. A poignant and passionate plea to keep living and keep being light in the face of the end.
Quietly thrilling, and backed by a strong, succinct script and worldbuilding. Everyone has a story, they are all surviving and trying to live the best way they can despite the circumstances. Station Eleven let's you meet every character with honesty…
