USA, 1 hr 55 mins, Directed by West Eldredge
Take From Me is a gripping thriller that follows the life of John, a grieving local man, as he finds solace and intrigue in a mysterious young woman who purchases his old farmhouse… who is much more than she seems.
Take From Me (originally reviewed as Love Dogs) went in a very different direction than I expected it to and I enjoyed it. I don’t want to say too much, as it this movie could be very easily spoiled. It’s very well shot, the performances from the lead actors are compelling and the characters feel real and believable. I wasn’t a huge fan of one of the design choices (deliberately vague!), but it was something different than other movies in the sub-genre. Go watch it – you’ll know what I’m talking about then!
I was genuinely surprised to discover that this is a debut feature from director and writer West Eldredge – I’m looking forward to seeing what he does next!
Take From Me will be available on digital in March.
