Rating: 2.5/5

Plot Summary

"You'll Never Find Me" is a nerve-wracking thriller from directors Bell and Allen that traps two characters in a single, remote location. Patrick’s quiet life in a lonely caravan park gets turned upside down when a mysterious young woman knocks on his door, needing shelter from a violent storm. As the night goes on, secrets start to unravel, and both characters are pushed to their limits. My initial impression? It’s got that classic psychological thriller vibe. Ultimately, "You’ll Never Find Me" is a gripping reminder that sometimes, the scariest places are the ones we can’t escape.
