Plot

Clare, an Australian girl, explores Germany. In Berlin, she meets Andi, a local guy. Andi and Clare have a one-night stand.

Next morning Clare finds her SIM card missing from the cellular phone. Clare concludes that Andi doesn’t want her to go out. After realizing it, she tries to escape by breaking the windows, but couldn’t. Andy returns with flowers and acts as if nothing has happened. Andi works as a physical education trainer in a sports school. Locking Clare in his apartment, he dines with his dad and tells him that he is on a date with an Australian. When Andi arrives, Clare tries to attack him and escape from the place. But he attacks her back. When one of his students, Franka visits his apartment, he tells her that Clare is his girlfriend. When Andi’s father dies, he locks Clare again and stays in his parents’ house for few days. Meanwhile, Clare started living her life in his apartment. When Andi arrives, Clare moves with him closely. Later, she finds out that Andi has plans to murder her. Did she escape from Andi? Watch the thriller in theaters.

Star Performance

Teresa has performed excellently well. Max performed as a psycho and threatens the audiences. Emma Bading plays Franka and she had done justice to her role.  

Analysis

Cate Shortland had directed extremely well and made the audiences sit at the edge of the seat. Beautifully designed screenplay thrills the audiences. The climax is excellent and it makes the heart come out, literally.

What’s There?

  • Exciting angles make the viewers wonder! Germain McMicking’s camera played pretty well

What’s Not There?

  • The film has what all the script needed. So, nothing negative except minor flaws

Verdict

The mysterious psycho thriller might make you have the movie effect for a couple of days! If you are interested in a psycho thriller genre, then this would not cheat you! Watch it in theaters!
