“Someone is always lying…”

Here is the trailer:

HIS & HERS is a thriller series that will keep you guessing up until the very end, hooking you with its juicy mystery. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Talented cast.

When I saw that Jon Bernthal AND Tessa Thompson were starring in this, I was hooked before I even read the premise. Both stars absolutely delivered and I thought they had great chemistry together. I didn’t know who I could trust, which made the reveals that much more intriguing as we went along.

Jaw-dropping twist.

Wow…I did not see that coming! I just watched Harlan Coben’s Run Away, which had a shocking reveal at the end and now His & Hers had another one to throw me for a loop. I love when a series can accomplish this. I’m still thinking about that ending. Way to stick the landing!

Netflix is off to a promising start with its new series for 2026!

The Cons:

Slow-moving at times.

The first four episodes felt a little slow for me. I was enjoying the show, but I also thought it was dragging things out more than it needed to. I think this show probably should have been a film instead, but I guess there was too much to cover.

That being said, the last two episodes were very well paced and beyond intense so this wasn’t a major con, but be prepared for a little bit of a slow burn until you get to those insane reveals.

So am I in or out?

HIS & HERS is a shocking and juicy thriller well worth your time featuring fantastic performances by Jon Bernthal and Tessa Thompson.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Somewhere Quiet” on Demand: An Eerie and Effective Slow Burn

*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!*

“Sometimes the nightmares can feel really real…”

Somewhere Quiet released on demand on February 2nd 2024. The horror mystery film stars Jennifer Kim, Marin Ireland, and Kentucker Audley. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-two minutes.

After surviving a kidnapping, a woman tries to cope with what happened to her by traveling to her husband’s family home in the middle of nowhere, but her grip on reality begins to deteriorate as she tries to return to normal, causing her to question everything and everyone surrounding her.

Here is the trailer:

Somewhere Quiet is not your average slow burn film, creating a true sense of confusion for both the characters and the audience, as we try to piece together what is transpiring on screen, making this complicated, but also intriguing. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Effectively creates a creepy and unsettling tone from start to finish.

The setting and score complimented this film so well. There was such an eerie vibe going on and it continued to build and build with great suspense. This film was honestly a complete mindf*ck. It was really out there and strange, but it kept my attention and brought me into everything in an unconventional way.

Marin Ireland and Jennifer Kim are beyond brilliant!

Wow, Marin Ireland nailed the extra creepy vibe here. She gave such a twisted performance and had my skin crawling several times just from some of her expressions. She was bloody fantastic!!! Jennifer Kim was really strong as our lead as well and I loved the dynamic between them. This movie was so weird and these elevated performances heightened this that much more, making this such a compelling watch.

The Cons:

A lot of questions by the time I got to the end…

This was good and bad for me. I like when a movie resonates with me well after it’s over, but there were so many missing pieces here that were never explained. In a way, that mirrors what our main character was going through so I get the intention, but I did need a little bit more here.

If slow burns are not your jam, this may not be for you. The pacing is sluggish for a long time, but it still manages to create this sense of dread without doing much, which says a lot, so I wouldn’t say this was a major con.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

Somewhere Quiet is trippy and unsettling with two note-worthy performances!

This film wasn’t what I thought it would be, but it stuck with me well after I finished it.

If you enjoy films like Mother, May I? and The Night House, this one is right up your alley.
