Our take
A grieving woman meets a stranger in the woods and soon has to fight for her life while unable to move freely. Don't Move stays tense through that helplessness, then adds stabbings and deaths. We would wait until 16.
Uplifting themes
Survival and refusing to give up matter in the finale. The road there is grim Iris uses wit and stubbornness when her body fails her. The villain is chilling, not aspirational
