Netflix viewers have been captivated by a ‘mysterious’ new British thriller, with lead actress Rose Williams earning high praise.
“Locked In,” directed by Nour Wazzi, is set in the quaint English countryside and has been available to stream on the platform since November 1.
A Mind-Bending Thriller
Based on SJ Watson’s novel “Before I Go to Sleep,” this mind-bending thriller revolves around ex-Hollywood actress Katherine (Famke Janssen), who is afflicted with locked-in syndrome after a car accident.
She can only communicate through blinking and a letter board, thanks to her determined nurse, Nicky (Anna Friel).
Unraveling a Murder Mystery
In a Morse code style, Katherine blinks a sentence to her caretaker, alleging a murder has occurred.
As the suspense unfolds, we delve into the actress’s life, particularly her adoption of her late best friend’s child, Lina (Rose Williams).
Lina forms a close friendship with Katherine’s step-son, Jamie (Finn Cole), and the two eventually marry, much to Katherine’s displeasure.
Bonds and Betrayals
The close bond between Lina and Katherine deteriorates, with the step-mother accusing her of being a ‘golddigger.’
Adding to the intrigue, Lina develops a tight bond with her husband’s doctor, Dr. Robert Lawrence (Alex Hassell).
Tragedies continue to strike Katherine’s family in a series of mind-warping events, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.
