Determined to try and recover from her harrowing abduction ordeal, Meg and her husband Scott take a trip to a woodland cabin, but peace and quiet are hard to come by when Scott’s cousin Madeline turns up unannounced. Overbearing and invasive, her presence fuels Meg’s mounting paranoia as her trauma comes rushing back in the form of menacing hallucinations that destabilize her sense of reality and jeopardize her fracturing relationship with Scott. As distrust grows and nagging suspicions about undisclosed secrets take hold, Meg’s pursuit of the truth takes her down a rabbit hole that might cost her her sanity.
A darkening portrait of psychological turmoil that gradually burrows under the viewer’s skin, SOMEWHERE QUIET presents an original take on the Final Girl after she’s escaped her captors. Olivia West Lloyd’s directorial debut unfolds like an immersive slow-burn chiller that exposes the difficulty of readjusting while battling post-traumatic distress; a carefully constructed and suspenseful mystery that refuses to fully tip its hand or spoon-feed easy answers.
