A Little Predictable But Not Bad
24 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I saw Gone in the Night, starring Winona Ryder-Stranger Things_tv, Beetlejuice; John Gallagher Jr.-Underwater, Peppermint; Owen Teague-Montana Story, the It movies; Brianne Tju-I Know What You Did Last Summer_tv, 47 Meters Down:Uncaged and Dermot Mulroney-Hanna_tv, Young Guns.

This is a mystery/horror thriller. Winona and John are a couple that have been dating for about a year and decide to rent a cabin in the woods to get away from everything. When they get there, another couple, Owen and Brianne, are already there-it seems that it was double booked. They all decide to share the cabin and everything is hunky dory until the next morning, when Winona awakens to find John and Brianne are gone-in the night. Owen-crying like a baby-tells Winona that he caught the two making out and they left together in the middle of the night. Winona goes home but decides something is fishy and wants to track down the owner of the cabin, Dermot, and find Owen or Brianne and hopefully find out what happened to John-she can't seem to reach him by phone. Dermot becomes her sidekick in her search. The events are told out of sequence using flashbacks so you learn what really happened by the end.

It's rated R for language and bloody images and has a running time of 1 hour & 30 minutes.

It's a little predictable-I figured it out about half way through-but it's not a bad movie. I wouldn't buy it on DVD but it would be alright as a rental.
