Throwback Tuesday takes us back to 2014’s The Falling which is an odd thriller most notable for having the good sense to cast Maisie Williams halfway through her Game of Thrones run and Florence Pugh in her first role. The pair play best friends at a strict English girls school in 1969 where Abbie’s (Pugh) sexual exploration and sudden and inexplicable death have a dramatic effect on Lydia (Williams). This is followed by other girls at the school showing similar symptoms to those of Abbie before her death in short unexplained fainting spells the administration of the school refuses to take seriously.

  • Title: Safe Word
  • IMDb: link

To be successful, at minimum, an erotic thriller needs to be both erotic and thrilling. The Tubi original Safe Word is neither. The film from director Sara Seligman and screenwriter Dana Verde is boring, often unbearably so. Moriah Brown and Gavin Houston star as a couple who quickly marry only for her to discover a more controlling and sadistic side to her husband as they begin their married life together and as they begin some rather tame sexual exploration.
