Jill (a fine and affecting performance by Erin R. Ryan) attempts to get on with her life after she manages to escape from a notorious serial killer. Therapist Kristen (an appealing portrayal by Joni Durian) tries to help out while Kristen's struggling screenwriter husband Johnny (nicely played to the jerky hilt by John Bradley Hambrick) complicates things by using Jill's experiences as material for his latest script.
Writer/director John Oak Dalton relates the absorbing story at a measured pace, takes time to flesh out the characters, makes good use of the rural small town locations, maintains a low-key thoughtful tone throughout, and astutely captures the severe emotional and psychological damage wrought by traumatic events. The sound acting keeps this movie humming, with especially praiseworthy work from Ryan, Dorian, and Tom Cherry as amiable cop Woody. Henrique Couto's evocative cinematography rates as another substantial plus. Worth a watch.
