I was browsing through Amazon Prime the other day when I encountered a movie that I had not heard of before.
I was particularly intrigued because it seemed like a very unique horror movie, and that's exactly what I was looking for.

When I saw the actors I felt as though I had won the lottery.
The two actors in this movie are David Tennant and Robert Sheehan.
I think most people know that David Tennant played the tenth doctor in the Doctor Who series. The second in the reboot. His performance on any scale was simply incredible.
He also played the villain in the first season of Jessica Jones to remarkably frightening effect.
He clearly knows his game when it comes to playing a bad man. That's great because he plays the villain in this movie as well.
Robert Sheehan is the star of one of my very favorite TV shows.
Misfits.

I haven't seen that show in a long time, and I hadn't heard anything from Robert Sheehan since it came out.
I was really excited to see him in a movie playing a role opposite David Tennant. Two of my favorite actors together and an exciting thriller? Yes please.
Of course, good actors don't always make for a good movie. Sometimes the script is the real star and a bad script can really ruin any chances of a thrilling experience.
Bad Samaritan is about a couple of thieving valets who make their extra money by robbing the houses of the people whose cars they are parking.
While parking the car, they look for any item which may show where the person in question lives so that they can steal a few items from their house without giving themselves away.
It's an interesting idea, and one that I think some of us have probably thought of when giving our keys to a valet.

I think I would just prefer to park my own car. Thank you very much.
Robert Sheehan takes David Tennant's car for a ride and find out where he lives. Unfortunately, David is hiding an incredibly terrible secret within his house.
Once Robert Sheehan discovers it, he at first flees, then finds that he cannot get the image out of his head.
He goes to the police, and the FBI to try to get them to believe him, but David Tennant is quite the upstanding member of society.
This movie is absolutely incredible.
It is the very definition of the word thriller.
I really can't recommend this movie highly enough if you're looking for a movie that has great acting, thrilling adventure, and will truly scare you.
What a fantastic ride.
