Review of Locked In

Locked In (V) (2023)
7/10
Definitely better than 100 feet.

I've always been a fan of Famke Beumer Janssen, ever since I saw her in Nip/Tuck. It proved that she has range as an actress, playing throughout time, bad girls, good girls, heroes, superheroes and so on.

Now about Locked In, the only real problem here is that this one has close to no horror in it. It has a Crimson Peak vibe to it, but doesn't get anywhere near it, or say House on Haunted Hill. It is a thriller, a good one to be honest, with a great mix of tension and mystery to it, it will keep you guessing but doesn't offer any scares. I mean except a few dream scenes, as I previously stated, there are no horror elements in this one.

But if you are in the mood for a sort of Spanish thriller, because they really are amazing with this genre, I think you should definitely give it a go. I had fun with it, just a tad anti climatic, I think it could and should have done better with the ending, but all in all, a nice way to pass the time, especially during the night. Good writing, dialogue, excellent cast, good development of the plot and a satisfying conclusion that could have been even better I think.

Locked In, good for what it is, but no horror.

Cheers!
