Sunday Safe Bet

Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

Critics loved it (100% on Rotten Tomatoes), though it had almost no lasting buzz and soft box office. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for crime fans, anyone who likes to be kept guessing and horror fans. If you loved Hush, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood: Scary, gritty.
The pace: Fast-moving, at 1 hr 15 min.
What might put you off: It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

A killer is released from prison and breaks into a remote home to kill a woman, her handicapped son and her pretty daughter.
