Excited to see Patrick Gibson in another thriller! He was brilliant in Dexter: Original Sin. Hope this film gets a good release in India too. The Don't Breathe + 1917 combo sounds interesting! 🤞

Survival thrillers are my favorite genre! With Sam Raimi producing, this should be good. But I hope they don't make it too gory like some Hollywood films tend to do. Indian audiences prefer more suspense than bloodshed.

Not familiar with Patrick Gibson but the production team looks solid. Ghost House Pictures has made some great horror films. Hope they release it on Netflix India soon after theatrical run.

The OA was such an underrated show! Glad to see Gibson getting more mainstream roles now. But I'm more excited about Noah Jupe - that kid is an amazing actor after Honey Boy and A Quiet Place.

Shooting in Australia? Hope they show some unique locations rather than the usual outback scenery we've seen a hundred times. Indian filmmakers should also explore international locations more often.

The plot being under wraps is good - too many trailers these days spoil the whole movie! I'll watch this just for the surprise element. Hope it's not another cliché survival story though.
