Nothing groundbreaking really, as many thrillers have been made on similar topics but a good watch thanks to the direction that manages to keep it tense throughout, the layered performances of both actresses and a tight script that never relies on the tropes of the genre.
Great movie, not perfect but really good.Kinda similar to 1990 Misery. Tense movie. I find psychological horror movies more captivating and believable than spirits that make doors squeak, or some religious BS that is afraid of a cross.
Misery from birth, Run presents current horror queen Sarah Paulson as the mother of a premature child who grew up with various conditions (asthma, rashes, diabetes, paralysis...) and at 17, Chloe is now this very capable, home-schooled young woman (Kiera Allen) and ready to go to college. By outward appearances, her mom is ready for her to do so, but when responses from colleges are late to arrive and a mysterious new pill is introduced into Chloe's regimen, she starts to doubt she will ever be allowed to leave. As the story turns into a horror thriller, Chloe has to find a way out despite her physical challenges. Thankfully, she's a bit of a MacGyver, and her solutions are always interesting. Well-paced, with some surprises, Run loses steam eventually, when ambiguity meets certainty, and the climax is par for the course. It gets all its points back, however, with that delicious ending.

Felt a little overly dramatic, I think it could have gained from being more subtle and having a slow burn before the plot twists.BadFluffy

Rapunzel if it was a Thriller movie. Very good. Chillspeterskb45
A competently made mystery/thriller that has a few twists and surprises. Props for casting an actual wheelchair-user in the lead role too.
