Line of Events
Sheryl Bradshaw, a single woman looking for a suitor for a hit 1970s TV series, chooses charming bachelor Rodney Alcala, unaware that behind the man’s sweet facade, he hides a deadly secret. The IMDb team has compiled a list of some notable films from 2024 directed by women. Some of Sheryl’s bad experiences as an aspiring actress mirror those of Anna Kendrick. Sheryl’s comment about breasts is “taken verbatim from something that happened to me when I was 19.” The coins stolen from the laundromat are modern quarters. There are 3 different Washington heads.
Sheryl: I feel watched

It’s like I could literally feel her own fear and unease
This film does a good job of revealing how psychopaths often use charm to lure their victims. I appreciate that the film is by no means your typical horror film or psychological thriller. Most of the violent acts in this film are only depicted through the events leading up to (or following) them, and much of the actual violence is depicted indirectly rather than actually shown. It keeps things light enough – and doesn’t show enough actual violence – to keep the film watchable, but at the same time, it is often very disturbing and unsettling. The scene in the parking lot after the taping of Dating Game perfectly conveyed the same feeling that Anna’s character would be feeling at that moment.
Those expecting a typical serial killer movie will be disappointed by this one
I think Anna’s acting and directing in this film is superb, as is the cast in general. What I appreciate most about this film is its underlying messages or themes about how women can so easily fall into the dark side of the male ego and how manipulative some men can be towards women, such as exploiting women’s innocence or vulnerability for their own selfish gain. I also appreciate how it shows that society in general (and especially at the time) often encourages and condones this kind of treatment of women – dehumanizing and objectifying them. And as the film shows, even intelligent women are susceptible to the allure of the psychopath – and society alone can make them vulnerable. This message was not only conveyed through the behavior and violence of “Rodney” but also through the behavior of a few other male characters in the film.
But those hoping for something with more underlying depth will hopefully enjoy it
