Gone In The Night (2022)

When a woman (Winona Ryder) and her new boyfriend (John Gallagher Jr.) arrive at a remote cabin they've rented, they find a mysterious young couple (Owen Teague, Brianne Tju) already there. But when her boyfriend disappears with the young woman, she becomes obsessed with finding an explanation but there is a more diabolical plot behind the disappearance. Co-written and directed by Eli Horowitz in his directorial debut. While the first half of the film sets up a genuine sense of dread, we get flashbacks which gives us clues that Ryder's character is not privy to so we are able (if we pay attention) to solve the mystery before she does. The ending is pretty preposterous by the time we arrive there but Horowitz cheats a bit. There's one important question that Ryder's character (or anyone in her position) would ask but she never does. That she never asks that question and with the introduction of the cabin's owner (Dermot Mulroney), if one adds one and one, you should come up with two and the "secret" begins to unravel. All that aside, I rather liked it despite its obviousness.
