Don’t Look Back Now is the story of Keisha (Joy Taylor), a woman who has moved across the
country to escape her creepy ex-boyfriend stalker, Tom (Kevin Highsmith). However, mysterious
things keep happening to the people in Keisha’s life, and the authori es don’t believe her. But
there’s one thing nobody knows- she’s got a secret that will make anyone coming to harm her
regret it - especially Tom. This thriller is an exci ng roller coaster ride that constantly keeps the
audience guessing.
Director Julie e Cho knows exactly how to manipulate the camera to capture every shadow and
peripheral movement, keeping the viewer on edge. The close-up shots feel claustrophobic like
the perspec ve is skewed. For any other movie, this might be annoying, but for this one, it helps
put the viewer in Keisha’s suspicious shoes very well. With a running me of 98 minutes, the
pacing is quick and e cient, and Cho uses cinematography de ly to show the quick and jerky
passage of me from Keisha's perspec ve.
The performances are rock solid all the way through. Joy Taylor is bri le and violent, simmering
below the surface with rage. You can see the toll this stalking experience has had on her in
every twitch of her eye and clench of her jaw. The strength she displays once the lm shi s into
the darker, triumphant second act is a wonder to behold. Kevin Highsmith gives o just the right
vibe of charming and sinister as Tom, e ortlessly shi ing his en re performance between sweet
and suddenly dangerous.
This is a tense thrill ride that will not disappoint fans of Joy Taylor or this genre in general. You
can nd Don’t Look Back Now at the Main Street Metroplex 12 and the Movie Palace 20 Star ng
Friday.
