The movie opens on a rainy night, when a woman runs and hides from a man chasing her. Getting in her car, he pulls it from behind with his truck! She gets off, and runs away, being hit by a car.
At the hospital, a man who claims to be her husband, is asking the nurses about her condition. She wakes up,but is badly injured, and can't remember who she is.Or who he is. He stays by her side, showing her pictures of their relationship and telling her stories about it, as her health is getting better, and she is discharged, while she still can't walk due to her broken leg.
Her husband, Russell, takes her home, but she doesn't remember anything, she believes whatever he tells her about their relationship.
She starts suspecting something is wrong, as he hides from her when talking on the phone with the police who is trying to find out what happened the night of her accident. She also notices, as she can walk better, he starts locking her in the bedroom. Seeing she can unlock the door, he ties her up, and is obvious that if this is her husband, they had a toxic relationship.
At the same time, the detective on her case, and the nurse treating her, try to get a hold of her, as the phone number Russell gave them is wrong.
The detective starts investigating, and finds out the address Russell gave them is wrong, and looking for her family, he finds them dead in their bed!
The people who witnessed the accident remembered a white pickup, and asking the nurse assigned to Jennifer, our lead, the hospital live footage of that night, he discovers none other than Russell coming out of it.
I personally enjoyed the movie, although the plot is pretty ridiculous. I don't know how could someone get away with what "Russell" did.
I don't like the title of the movie, as it also kinda gives away everything. It's a spoiler in itself.
I liked the places where they filmed at, the scenery and the house were beautiful.
The acting was good.
The soundtrack was fine.
The movie received negative reviews, the critics considering the movie's plot dumb .
Rating : Worth a watch !
