Why it’s HorroRated
Masks, quarantine rules and careless Instagram posts all feed the fear, which makes this a sharp little time capsule of spring 2020. John Hyams stages a relentless, bruising chase across every staircase, rooftop and stretch of lake the property offers, and it barely pauses for breath. Gideon Adlon and Bethlehem Million make that friendship easy to believe, so their fight to stay alive carries real stakes. Scream devotees will spot Kevin Williamson's fingerprints in the ominous texts and that nasty cold open. Lean at 83 minutes, it's an ideal Saturday-night slasher with a mean streak.
Synopsis
Scream writer Kevin Williamson takes the slasher into lockdown with Sick (2022), a lake-house thriller he co-wrote with Katelyn Crabb and John Hyams directed. Gideon Adlon and Bethlehem Million play Parker and Miri, two friends quarantining together early in the pandemic, with Dylan Sprayberry as DJ, a fling who turns up uninvited. Filmed around Weber County, Utah, it debuted at TIFF in September 2022, then landed on Peacock the following January. Expect a tight, physical survival thriller that treats COVID-era anxiety as both setting and fuel.
