DAY 8.2: He's Out There
On Amazon Prime

I 100% watched this because Yvonne Strahovski was in it. But this was surprisingly really good.

This movie is about a mother, father, and two girls who move to a new house. The mother and girls go there early, but then that night they realize someone is coming for them.

Yeah, it's a home invasion movie. But as far as a home invasion movie goes, I thought this was a really good one. I think the draw of this one is that, while we can probably count on two hands home invasion movies with a mother and her children, this one is exceptionally well-acted and makes sense. Strahovski is easily the best part of this movie, being such a convincing mother and it really feels like she has known these kids their whole lives. It honestly felt like a new level of parents in a horror movie. I can see why she took on this movie with what she got to do.

In terms of the plot... I mean, it's a home invasion movie with a bit of a twist on the genre in that the killer does more 'traps', if that makes sense. The killer is more sadistic and methodical, which is really the thing that makes it stand out. And when you get to the ending, it honestly feels really satisfying. The climax onward is extremely satisfying and I quite enjoyed it.

Also, the killer has a great look. I just need to mention that because it's very strong.

Overall, I actually do recommend it if you're looking for a home invasion movie and you ever liked Yvonne Strahovski. She really shows off her acting chops in this film in a movie that manages to stand out from the typical genre.

Rating: 7.5/10
