Our take

An MA 15+ Blumhouse thriller about a single mother terrorized by anonymous messages during a first date while her son and sister are held hostage. Violence includes gun threats, stabbings and assaults on women, plus a depicted suicide and dialogue about domestic abuse. Language includes one f-word and sexual references. Best for teens 16+ who handle home-invasion suspense.

Uplifting themes

Courage and protecting family under impossible odds sit at the centre Calm problem-solving drives the lead as she fights for her child

Story (may spoil tone)

Violet, a widowed mother on her first date in years, arrives at an upscale restaurant where she is relieved that her date, Henry, is more charming and handsome than she expected. But their chemistry begins to curdle as Violet begins being irritated and then terrorized by a series of anonymous drops to her phone.
