THEY WANT ME GONE

Cinemavixion Review

Drew Britton's "They Want Me Gone" (2022) is a taut thriller that plunges viewers into the harrowing world of rural poverty and escalating paranoia. Starring Emily Decker in a compelling lead performance as a mother desperately trying to protect her daughter, the film skillfully builds suspense. As the protagonist increasingly suspects those around her, the narrative expertly weaves a web of distrust, blurring the lines between genuine threats and psychological distress. The strong performances from Joslyn Jensen and Jennifer Lafleur further anchor the film's emotional core. While its IMDb rating of 6.2 suggests a solid, if not universally acclaimed, reception, "They Want Me Gone" stands as a potent exploration of desperation and the chilling realization that danger might lurk closer than one imagines.
