  • Title: The Falling

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.

Based on true events, James Norton stars as charming conman Robert Hendy-Freegard who ruined several lives over the years while pretending to be an agent of MI5. While alluding to several of his victims, the film focuses on a lawyer (Gemma Arterton) he seduced and stole from who worked to find and bring him to justice.

Safe Word

  • 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.

Cocaine Bear

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: Cocaine Bear
  • IMDb: link

Very Loosely based on a true story of a bear who ingested cocaine dropped in the Tennessee wilderness, Cocaine Bear is your typical over-the-top thriller as the crazed bear goes wild in the park hunting for more cocaine where potential victims wander around unaware of the danger. When the film focuses on the bear and its rampage, there’s plenty of bloody fun to be had. When it gets lost in the various stories of characters, it does stall at times.
