The Surprise Visit (2022)
Plot holes
I write this review in January 2022. The movie says it's based on true events (they never mention the case in particular). It is also set in recent time (2020 or 2021) as they mention covid twice. Covid has only been in existence for 2 years. At the end, they show what happened "3 years later". How did a movie based on true events jump into the future? If it is indeed "3 years later" then the movie shows events in 2023 or 2024!
The woman escaping had the upper hand: shelter, a clear view of the woods from all angles, and a gun. All she had to do was sit and wait for help, or run to the main house to call 911. But no... she's going to chase the people trying to kill her. I lost all sympathy for her at that point. I don't believe this is based on a true story at all. What idiot out of danger places themselves in danger again?
The only reason I watched this pile of garbage was so I could follow up on the real case afterwards. They only said it's based on true events so you don't ask too many questions while watching this bad high school production.
