Far from Home

1989 · 86 min Thriller
5.4 / 10 · TMDB

Charlie Cox should have stopped for gas in California. While he's on a cross-country trip with his teenage daughter, Joleen, his car hits empty in a creepy town in Nevada. With nary a drop of fuel to be found, Charlie and Joleen stop for the night at a dilapidated trailer park. There, Joleen catches the eye of two teenage boys, Jimmy and Pinky -- either of whom could be the serial killer currently terrorizing the town.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This is a thriller that respects the viewer: doesn't explain everything, doesn't rush events. Tension is created through atmosphere, not mechanical twists.

A solid choice if you're tired of predictable genre formulas. You can sense the creators were thinking about what they were making.

Good choice for those seeking tense cinema without unnecessary noise.

Director: Meiert Avis
