Skip this one unless you're a die-hard Mike Flanagan fan or hardcore horror devotee—it's a claustrophobic psychological thriller that spends two hours watching someone handcuffed to a bed hallucinate, which sounds more tedious than terrifying. The premise is provocative but the execution is a slow-burn chamber piece that demands patience most people don't have on a casual movie night.

Plot

When her husband's sex game goes wrong, Jessie (who is handcuffed to a bed in a remote lake house) faces warped visions, dark secrets and a dire choice.
