NETFLIX fans have been left gripped by a new thriller movie they’re calling one of their favourites of the year.
Don’t Move, a new film from producer Sam Raimi, tracks the story of Iris (played by Yellowstone’s Kelsey Asbille), a woman who finds herself in a dire situation in the middle of the forest of Big Sur, California.

Grieving the loss of her son, Mateo, she encounters a man called Richard (American Horror Story’s Finn Wittrock) who offers her comfort in a time of need.
But just when she decides to head home, Richard tasers her, ties her up and injects her with a substance that gives her just 20 minutes before her entire body will shut down.
Now she’s on a race against time to get to safety as the drug slowly begins to paralyse her and shut her down, stopping her being able to scream and over time, move.
But as she goes on the run, Richard isn’t far behind her and is ready to make her his latest victim.
The 92-minute movie has proven a hit with viewers, with Don’t Move shooting to number one on Netflix within days of its release.
Sharing their feelings on X, one fan wrote: “Prepare yourself for an intense one if you plan to watch From the beginning until the end. Whew terrifying.”
“This is what I was expecting when I saw the trailer. One and a half hour of pure suspense and tension,” another wrote, adding: “Kinda predictable but overall, an engaging thriller.”
Another agreed with the sentiment and said: “#DontMove was a tense watch.. Beautifully shot with good performances. Wouldn’t have minded to be put through the emotional wringer a bit more, but it was consistently engaging.”
A third said: “#DontMove is an instant masterpiece by none other than Sam Raimi. Filled with spectacular shots & intense/grotesque scenes with an epic ending. Must watch!”
“Don’t Move on Netflix is exactly why women would choose a bear lmao,” joked a fourth, in a reference to the viral question ‘would you choose to run into a bear or a man if you’re alone in the woods?’
“you know what… #DontMove on Netflix is actually very good! if you’re looking for something to watch… add it in your list tbh,” said another.
The sleeper hit comes as Netflix drops some of its most anticipated films of the year – most notably Anna Kendrick’s Woman Of The Hour.
The Pitch Perfect star’s directorial debut follows the true crime story of Rodney Alcala, a Los Angeles serial killer in the 1970s who shot to notoriety after being caught, when it was discovered he was once a contestant on The Dating Game (the US equivalent of Blind Date).
The movie follows the unlucky ‘bachelorette’ who meets him as a result of the show, and her awkward interactions with him after picking him to go on a date with.
Don’t Move is available now on Netflix.
