Just don't get into cars with strangers, people. There is no avoiding the occasional hiccup that comes with a sentimental ending or Lisa's tendency to (loudly) jinx her own actions, but damn, it's exciting sometimes. Turi, who debuted with Hostile, is clearly interested in a lone, for the most part at least, fight for survival, and sadness that goes away only in the face of numbing pain – not to mention that there really aren't many things as scary as realising that someone has put you in some dark labyrinth with no way out and plenty of nasty mechanisms just waiting to do something unspeakable to that dragging limb. Why she wakes up in a fetching Barbarella outfit with her blond hair styled in elaborate braids, well, that's never really explained, but Lisa is there for a reason, unable to let go of a painful loss that took over her life way before she got in that car. She encounters other unwilling – and rotting – visitors along the way, some of whom need to be manually dismembered in order for her to pass. Meander, by director Mathieu Turi, uses the device of the escape room, or tunnel in this instance, as a way of negotiating the. And that feeling is as thrillingly unpleasant as it is a sweaty-palmed nightmare. The driver looked exactly like a dangerous murderer described on the radio mere minutes before she blacked out, but her respite doesn't last long – there is an odd, shiny bracelet on her wrist, with a countdown, and soon enough, she needs to try to crawl her way out of the place, which is full of deadly traps and very long tunnels.Īlthough a bit familiar (did we mention Saw and Cube already?), Meander is effective, scary and actually a lot of fun, with the sound of Lisa's heavy breathing accompanied only by the signals of yet another danger approaching as she proceeds to explore the weird construction. The film gives the audience the feeling of being trapped in a tight and confined space. RIP one night only for me.Īnyway, this movie is great for fans of “Cube” and “Escape Room” and “Saw” who also love a slap in the face reminder to process your grief and trauma ala Mike Flanagan.That's exactly what happens to Lisa ( Gaia Weiss), who, after accepting a car ride from an unknown man (Finland's Peter Franzén, sporting his best American accent), wakes up alone in what appears to be a tube. You won’t see me using my sadness as self-exploration, I will just drown in my own tears!!! I will not remotely survive long enough to see the butthole of spacetime and find freedom. please plant a headstone somewhere cool with a bad pun on it and my name in a very aesthetic font, no Times New Roman or whateverīecause fuck this nope I’m gonna jump right the fuck outta my skin and die where I was dropped thanks. MEANDER is a high-stakes, tension filled. bestie Heather gets my books and my blanket and mugs A screen thriller you mentally set aside, like a puzzle with insufficient challenges to ever be worth tackling again.
my bf gets my computer shit and electronics my brother and his wife get all my cookware and DVDs/movies my sisterwife gets my plush SpongeBob collection and my camera gear Let me just say before anything else, if I wake up in a tube with a thing strapped to my arm, I wish this to serve as my last will and testament: But then again if you had, we wouldn’t have had this fun movie. A grieving mother, wandering hopelessly through life after the loss of her child, encounters a kind stranger who offers her a ride to safety instead of letting depression take her life. Of course this poor decision to hitchhike to “safety” means she wakes up in a metal tunnel in a funky spandex suit with a device strapped to her arm. Meander (2020) Written and Directed by Mathieu Turi, Horror/Drama/Scifi NR, 90min runtime.
