On November 20, 2020, Hulu released a new horror movie titled, “RUN”. Famous actress Sarah Paulson is featured in one of the lead roles, along with Diane Sherman, mother of Chloe Sherman, who is played by Kiera Allen.
Seventeen-year-old Chloe Sherman has grown up paralyzed and suffers from a variety of different illnesses. Her mother Diane Sherman has always taken care of Chloe; she makes sure Chloe stays safe and takes her medicine. Chloe is looking forward to her future, and patiently waits every day for the mailman to deliver a large envelope containing her acceptance or rejection letter to her dream college.
As the days go on with no word, Chloe notices her mother’s strange behavior, as she constantly appears to be anxious for Chloe’s letter, yet doesn’t show her the new mail once it arrives. As Diane’s behavior steadily grows stranger and stranger, Chloe begins questioning things in her everyday life. This fast-paced movie takes twists and turns, leaving you on the edge of your seat, waiting for the truth to unravel.
Scary movies aren’t my thing but when I heard of this, I was intrigued and excited to watch it. As this movie became more and more popular on my social media platforms, my craving grew stronger and I finally grasped my hands on this movie.
While I wouldn’t classify this movie as horror, it most definitely falls into a fast-paced action movie. In the end, my white clenched fists held onto my pillow as I waited for the ending scene to close. For those interested in watching a new and slightly scary movie, I would highly recommend this. The ending left me with my jaw dropped.
