“Don’t Move” had me wavering between a 6 or a 7, but ultimately the quality of the acting led me to give it a 7. The cast delivers strong performances that ground the film, bringing depth and believability to their roles, which adds much-needed intensity to a familiar plot. Each actor seems genuinely invested in their character’s fear and vulnerability, which translates to a sense of realism that is often missing from horror and thriller films.
Visually, “Don’t Move” does an excellent job of creating an eerie, unsettling atmosphere
This commitment from the cast helps heighten the tension, even if the plot remains predictable. The set design is carefully crafted, enhancing the sense of closure that the story requires. The cinematography makes good use of these spaces, using tight shots and dark framing to draw the audience into the characters’ mindspace, capturing the sense of dread that permeates the setting.
The sound design and lighting work together to heighten the tension
The constant pressure of “time” heightens the tension and creates a constant sense of anxiety, making each moment seem more urgent and dangerous. The director skillfully builds tension using subtle sound cues, creaks, and echoes that enhance the fear in the film. The film uses silence effectively, creating an eerie silence that is only broken by sudden, jarring sounds that hit with greater force.
While “Don’t Move” may not be cutting edge, it still manages to capture some classic horror thrills
Ultimately, this is a solid, atmospheric thriller that shines with its production quality and acting, delivering enough suspense and chilling moments to keep fans of the genre watching.
