Don't Move does not reinvent the wheel when it comes to this kind of "cat and mouse" thriller, but uses the format effectively to generate palpable tension thanks to fast, effective direction and an engaging heroine and villain.

especially when they’re intentionally limited (like 2007’s Awake, which went into some inexplicable territory in its use of anesthesia awareness)
On the opposite side we have Finn Wittrock (whom I mostly know from season 4 of American Horror Story before I stopped watching) who is very good as the man who goes by the name of “Richard”; whose good looks and charismatic charm are beautifully contrasted with the darker nature that reveals itself and creates a terrifying character who can bend and twist reality on the fly to achieve his goals. As for carving out a feature-length journey from the central premise of the crippled character, I’ll admit I was more than a little skeptical because, while it’s a terrifying idea, it’s incredibly difficult to stretch to feature length. Despite the challenges inherent in working with such a concept, Cimfel and White’s screenplay does a good job of creating high-concept scenarios that have enough believability (however implausible) to pull off some very memorable sequences where Iris has to communicate with them other than words to get help because it’s out of reach just inches away.
