Not all of the movies Netflix is releasing these days look like they would have to do massive numbers at the box office to break even. Sometimes, less is more, which appears to be the case with Don't Move. With horror and thrillers, you don't have to throw around a ton of money to get audiences on the edge of their seats. In the case of this movie, it's the very concept of time moving forward and the complete loss of bodily autonomy. We got the first trailer for this film during the Geeked Week presentation, and they have dropped a new one that really hammers the time aspect of the film home.
As we learned when the first trailer was released, the story is told [more or less] in real-time. So we will be with Kelsey every second of those first twenty minutes. This is the kind of film streamers should be making and funding because it's interesting enough. However, it might have a hard time finding an audience in theaters, but with a smaller budget because it's a smaller production, Don't Move is the kind of streamer film that doesn't get people to sign up for streaming service, but it does keep them from canceling them.
