Year: 2018
Duration: 1h 22m
Director: Nicholas Fish
Pour: Christopher Abbott, Mia Wasikowska, and Laia Costa

refugethe new psychological thriller starring Margaret Qualley (Once upon a time in Hollywood) and Christopher Abbott (Owner), about a dominatrix who takes one of her clients hostage after he tries to leave her, is currently in cinemas and due for a VOD release later this month. If this premise sounds interesting to you, take your time to look at Christopher Abbott’s other Sadomasochistic horror thriller about a John who gets more than he bargained for over the course of a horrible night. Abbott plays Reed, a new father and loving husband who otherwise harbors secret violent fantasies. On a business trip, Reed leaves home and calls in a prostitute (Mia Wasikowska) to indulge his darker impulses, only to be caught off guard by her own disturbing and self-destructive urges.

Warning: This movie sucks. I would be remiss if I didn’t include a trigger warning for the 25 minute mark piercing, which contains a thrilling scene of simulated self-harm worthy of the film’s name. If you fancy watching something conceptually a little weirder, duller and more violent than the typical Netflix twist, this film is perfect – it’s for anyone who sees themselves as a living embodiment of the “movie”.Sickos Haha Yes”Memes.
