Initially apprehensive when her boss insists she meet with one of his most important clients, single mom Cherie (Ella Balinska) is relieved and excited when she meets charismatic Ethan (Pilou Asbæk). The influential businessman defies expectations and sweeps Cherie off her feet. But at the end of the night, when the two are alone together, he reveals his true, violent nature. Battered and terrified, she flees for her life, beginning a relentless game of cat-and-mouse with a bloodthirsty assailant hell-bent on her utter destruction. In this edge-of-your-seat dark thriller, Cherie finds herself in the crosshairs of a conspiracy stranger and more evil than she could have ever imagined.

Run Sweetheart Run comes from a well-observed point of view that roughly 50% of the world’s population shares. But its singular focus is shortsighted, holding the movie back from delivering effective scares. Go to Full Review

Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Oct 20, 2023
Downright intense survival horror film with a lot of malice projected toward not just predators, but the society that nurtures the predators. Go to Full Review
Nuha Hassan Nuha Hassan (Medium) Sep 8, 2023
It’s an overambitious film that attempts to take the leap with its critical ideas of how society treats women. Go to Full Review
