Somewhere Quiet

[Screens Oct. 18 at 9:30 p.m. as part of the Screamfest Horror Film Festival that runs Oct. 10-19 at the TCL Chinese Theatre, 6925 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, CA 90028; for more information, log on to https://screamfestla.com.] Striking cinematography and a haunting musical soundtrack highlight Olivia West Lloyd's engaging, eerie, tense, convoluted, well-acted, gloomy, somber, thought-provoking, 98-minute thriller with minimal backstory in which a PTSD-afflicted, nightmare-plagued Boston engineer (Jennifer Kim) goes with her shady husband (Kentucker Audley) to their Cape Cod retreat in an effort to recuperate from a traumatizing kidnapping and to get her life back together, and she then finds herself questioning everything and becoming increasingly distraught, on edge, hallucinating, and mentally fragile when her husband's creepy, intrusive, redheaded cousin (Marin Ireland) suddenly shows up.
