Certain traumatic events certainly haunt people in the form of post-traumatic stress disorder. With children, an event of kidnapping and murder remains in a person’s psyche for the rest of their lives. In The Girl Who Got Away, a serial killer escapes, and the lone survivor of a small massacre ends up reliving her own horror scenario.

The film stars Lexi Johnson, Chukwudi Iwuji, Geoffrey Cantor, Kaye Tuckerman, Willow McCarthy, Ned Van Zandt, and Audrey Grace Marshall.

Michael Morrissey directed the wrote the movie.

Here’s the official synopsis for The Girl Who Got Away:

All but one. Christina Bowden lives a lonely and unassuming existence until Caufield escapes from prison. Under new investigation, the stories of Christina’s past begin to unravel. There’s good and evil in everyone, but as the lies are unearthed, Christina needs to choose a side before the darkness of her secrets swallows her whole.

I’m not sure which subgenre The Girl Who Got Away would fall under whether it’s supernatural horror, psychological thriller, and straight-up mystery thriller. Perhaps all three! This indie horror has potential with a few scares and wondering if the protagonist became the killer or she is actually being haunted by the killer.

The Girl Who Got Away releases on August 20.
