Don’t Move is the style of movie Netflix should make more often. Give consumers more high-concept thrillers instead of $200 million blockbusters. In Don’t Move, Yellowstone’s Kelsey Asbille stars as Iris, a grieving mother who wakes up one morning and heads to the memorial for her late son on top of a cliff.
While contemplating her life, Iris meets Richard (Finn Wittrock), a kind stranger who literally talks her off the edge of a cliff. Before they go their separate ways, Richard injects Iris with a paralytic agent that will make her incapable of moving her limbs within 20 minutes. Richard is a serial killer who plans to torture and murder Iris. Refusing to give up, Iris runs into the nearby forest and hides for her life in this entertaining 90-minute thriller.
