“You’re not in control anymore…”
TRUST originally released in limited theaters on August 22nd 2025, but is now currently available to stream on Demand. The American thriller film (directed by Carlson Young) stars Sophie Turner, Billy Campbell, and Katey Sagal. It runs for 90 minutes.
A Hollywood actress tries to stay off the grid in a remote cabin with her dog after being involved in a scandal, but when intruders show up at her home, she must do everything she can to survive.
Here is the trailer:
TRUST immediately gives off a Panic Room vibe, but it fails to deliver the same level of intensity despite Sophie Turner’s efforts. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:
Sophie Turner gives it her all.
I really like her as an actress and she’s come a long way since Game of Thrones. I saw her in Survive back in 2020 and she was brilliant in that so I was very excited to see her in another thriller. The premise for this movie seemed right up my alley and I think she did a good job with what she was given.
She had her time to shine toward the end of the movie, but I think her talent was stifled for the majority of the film. I hope to see her in more thrillers in the future.
Katey Sagal and the dog are the best parts of the movie…
I’m not going to lie, this movie was really dragging for me despite having a great premise. The dog was fantastic and Katey Sagal provided some quirky humor, which helped this movie in a lot of ways. I probably would have tuned out without her and the dog so they deserve some props here!
The Cons:
The execution didn’t quite land…
I REALLY wanted to like this movie. I love thrillers with strong, resourceful female leads with a simple formula and this initially seemed to fit the bill. However, it was messy and attempted to do a little too much. While I appreciated the Panic Room nod, I think it took up too much of the movie. I wanted to see Sophie Turner just kick some ass and it took way too long to get her covered in blood…
There was a great thriller here somewhere, but it only scratched the surface, which was disappointing.
So am I in or out?
I’m 50/50 on this one…
TRUST has a convincing lead and a solid premise, but it never quite reached its full potential, ultimately leaving me wanting more.
I hope you enjoyed the review and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on TRUST in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!
