Our take

The Occupant is a wilderness survival thriller about Abby, stranded after a helicopter crash while trying to save her sister. Dialogue includes frequent s-word and f-word outbursts, gun talk, wine references, and a monster metaphor as her grip on reality falters. Tension builds through isolation and an unseen helper on the radio. Older teens and adults only

Uplifting themes

Never-give-up determination runs through Abby's fight to survive Abby risks everything to help her sister despite mounting danger

Story (may spoil tone)

Desperate to save her sister, Abby takes a dangerous job in the remote Georgian wilderness. Stranded in the mountains after her helicopter crashes, she finds hope through John, a mysterious helper radioing from nearby. As he guides her through the harsh conditions, Abby struggles to survive, and her grip on reality falters until she is faced with an impossible choice.
