About This Movie

So, 'Girl Next' is this unsettling piece from 2021 that digs deep into the horrors of human trafficking, all wrapped in a horror-thriller vibe. The pacing is relentless, keeping you on edge as our protagonist navigates a truly disturbing ordeal. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the practical effects, while not overdone, hit hard when they need to. You can feel the raw emotion in the performances, especially from the lead, who embodies the fight-or-flight instinct beautifully.
