As the night turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse, Max and Avery begin to realize the trauma they share may either save them or erupt into an unforgettable nightmare. Written and directed by Robert Rippberger, THOSE WHO WALK AWAY is loosely inspired by the Ursula Le Guin short story "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas". Filmed in a series of long continuous takes, Rippberger perfectly captures the eerie and bloodcurdling moral predicament of living high while others suffer.

      Stephanie Malone Morbidly Beautiful This dark, haunted house tale boasts a great premise about the monsters we create through our choices. But the pacing makes it feel much longer than its 90-minute runtime, and thereā€™s barely enough story to fill a short, much less a feature. Rated: 2/5 Oct 25, 2022 Full Review Joel Copling Spectrum Culture All that we are left with is a neat trick and some familiar genre devices. Mar 20, 2022 Full Review Cass Clarke CBR Rippberger's directing overall provides enough twists and turns to make up for a slow start. Feb 16, 2022 Full Review Brittany Witherspoon Film Threat Ultimately, this date-from-hell is one that Iā€™d recommend to indie horror film fans. Rated: 6/10 Feb 14, 2022 Full Review Abbie Bernstein Assignment X For those who like horror with rot, mold, and troubling underpinnings, Those Who Walk Away provides lavishly. Rated: B- Feb 12, 2022 Full Review Keri O'Shea Warped Perspective The pitfalls of ambition over substance are written all over this (ostensibly) haunted house movie, with the main effect being that, despite some strong visuals and moments of atmosphere, it labours under being very, very underwritten overall.

Get past the slow beginning and the eerie atmosphere and camera work gives some rally decent chills. A satisfying ending and unique camera work makes this pretty unique in my opinion. Well worth the watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member I grew up in that small Illinois town, and I can tell you the first 30 minutes are genius, not just because of the smart script and outstanding acting, but because of the iconic, meandering path through the old downtown area. The opening is brilliant, and the haunted house part is fun and campy, especially for such a dark subject, which is, I'm guessing, child sexual abuse. The acting is great, the writing/directing is super-smart. I'm buying this, and I never buy movies. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Booboo Stewart nailed his role in this film! Great acting, superb storyline with plenty of edgy scares sprinkled throughout the film. I'm having nightmares now about using social media apps for dates. Just kidding but it's worth the rent Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
