Sam receives a call from Emily, a near blind woman who is running from her murderous ex in the woods. Can she survive using Sam as her eyes via video call?

Why it matters

A tense, claustrophobic thriller that turns the found-phone gimmick into a nerve-racking survival game.

  • Reinvents the “remote witness” trope with a near-blind protagonist relying on audio cues and trust, upping the suspense.
  • Raw, intimate performances from the leads anchor the film’s high-stakes cat-and-mouse chase.
  • Practical sound design crafts an immersive wilderness atmosphere where every rustle feels like a threat.
  • Fans of minimalist horror and tech-driven dread (think *Host* or *Searching*) will appreciate this fresh, stripped-down survival story.
