Second Chances

About This Movie

So, 'Second Chances' is a pretty intriguing piece from 2010. It throws us into this tense world where a college professor finds herself in the crosshairs of a stalker two years after a tragic incident. The atmosphere feels heavy, almost suffocating at times, creating this constant sense of dread. The pacing lingers in those quiet moments, allowing the tension to build slowly, which I appreciate. The themes of guilt and the past haunting you are pretty prominent, and they do a nice job with practical effects that keep it grounded. The performances are decent, but it’s really that underlying sense of anxiety that makes it distinctive. It’s not something you see every day in the crime-thriller genre, and that’s what I find kind of compelling about it.

Interesting take on guilt and consequences · Strong atmosphere and tension build-up · Decent practical effects add to the realism
