This 2015 thriller is based on the book 'Go With Me', by Castle Freeman, Jr. Set in a logging town in the Pacific Northwest, the story revolves around a young woman, Lillian (Julia Stiles) who recently returned back here, her hometown. She almost immediately becomes the target of harassment by ex-cop Blackway (Ray Liotta), and complaining about him to the local sheriff is useless, as the entire town is deathly afraid of the corrupt thug. Everyone implores her to 'just leave town' ~ except Lester (Anthony Hopkins), who has also been the subject of Blackway's harassment. Looking for a little revenge he decides to help Lillian, bringing along the only other person brave enough to go up against Blackway, Nate (Alexander Ludwig), a gentle soul with a serious stuttering problem.
From here on out the film is VERY predictable. Quite frankly, the only thing that makes this movie remotely scary is Liotta, who comes across as menacing even when it's probably not intended. But in this movie he was genuinely frightening, especially in the parking lot scene.
Sadly, the acting of Hopkins and Liotta was not enough to salvage the very thin and predictable plot. Therefore, can only give it 4* out of 10.
