SAFER AT HOME

Cinemavixion Review

In "Safer at Home," director Will Wernick crafts a chillingly prescient thriller set two years into the pandemic. The film plunges us into an online party hosted by a group of friends, where the descent from revelry to terror is as swift as it is unsettling. As the night progresses and ecstasy takes hold, the perceived safety of their individual homes morphs into a claustrophobic nightmare, proving more frightening than any external threat. While the film garnered a modest 3.8/10 on IMDb and a stark 7% on Rotten Tomatoes, its premise resonates with the anxieties of recent times. The performances from Jocelyn Hudon, Alisa Allapach, and Dan J. Johnson anchor the escalating dread, making "Safer at Home" a compelling, albeit bleak, examination of isolation and the fragility of security in a world turned upside down.
