    Awesome movie, just saw it. It also has a 92% on rotten tomatoes right now if that matters to you. But don't go see it if you need to see a lot of action, it's a slow build and is about the story and characters.

    Simon and Robyn are a young married couple whose life is going just as planned until a chance encounter with an acquaintance from Simon's high school sends their world into a harrowing tailspin. Simon doesn't recognize Gordo at first, but after a series of uninvited encounters and mysterious gifts prove troubling, a horrifying secret from the past is uncovered after more than 20 years. As Robyn learns the unsettling truth about what happened between Simon and Gordo, she starts to question: how well do we really know the people closest to us, and are past bygones ever really bygones?

    I don't want to discuss it more for now cuz it'd be spoilers and I'm not sure if anyone else here has even seen it. But it's a good thriller if you're interested, I enjoyed it. I went without seeing the trailer which I almost never do but I think it was a good idea. I have a few specific things I want to comment about but I'll wait a day or 2 so people don't click spoilers..

    *edit* but if you're interested in the trailer, here it is.
