An ambitious, disabled young girl starts getting an eerie feeling that her mother is not who she thinks she is.
A dark, dramatic, and promising opening sequence sets the tone of Aneesh Chaganty’s suspenseful horror. A huge Stephen King admirer, Chaganty pays numerous tributes to him and co-writes and directs a down-to-earth, psychological horror about the strongest love in the world, a mother’s love, juxtaposing it with a mother’s greatest suffering and its inconceivable effects.
It’s very well shot, very well edited, and very well acted! Sarah Paulson and real-life wheelchair user Kiera Allen give quite the performances and should be highly praised. Moreover, the bold and provocative twist meets the expectations of the first act’s horrific drama and the second act’s build-up.
Run is yet another film whose worldwide release dates were postponed due to the outbreak of the pandemic. Yet, even though it doesn’t really reinvent its kind, it definitely deserves a watch, and it does not disappoint! Some plotholes could be spotted throughout the story’s development, but don’t let them get in the way, as the film means well. I liked it better than Chaganty’s previous feature, Searching (2018), whose target audience was the… TikTok generation.
