He's Out There Movie Review
Laura (Yvonne Strahovski, Dexter) and her two children (Anna and Abigail Pniowsky) go to a lake house for a little visit. While waiting for the family father to join them, they are stalked by a masked, axe-wielding maniac. Part of this movie is figuring out who the killer is. It could be Laura's husband, Shawn (Justin Bruening), who seems in no hurry at all to get to his family. It could be Owen (Julian Bailey), a local fella and possible creeper who meets the woman and her kids at the house and tells them the story of John, a boy who went missing while living in Laura's house, and who has never been found. This, of course, opens the possibility it is John himself doing the killing. So who is our killer?
"Don't axe me"
This 2018 thriller is low on the body count--this comes as no surprise, as the characters I mentioned above are really about all we get here, and we know two little girls aren't going to get killed. That said, the death scenes are rather grisly, so that will keep your attention. There are some moments that will have you glued to the screen, and others that will make you gasp--unfortunately, these brief moments of terror are far outweighed by practically nothing at all happening. Worse than this, however, is when some otherwise potentially tense scenes are ruined by the horrible acting of Anna Pniowsky, the older of the sisters. Pniowsky's incessant whining during these scenes takes you completely out of the moment, and may even leave you wishing her mom will just leave her behind--she doesn't, of course, but she does leave the presumed-dead killer behind, only to discover, ala Jason, that he is suddenly not where he was left to die, teasing a potential sequel. He's Out There isn't a movie you will regret watching--it's also one that, in a year, you won't remember having watched.
