You’ll Never Find Me builds a profoundly creepy and spiralling momentum before everything comes together in a shockingly brilliant final act with twists that nobody will see coming – or be able to forget.

The acting is first-rate, a disquieting pas de deux written by Indianna Bell and directed by her and Josiah Allen, who edited the piece.

I really liked it but it’s not for everyone. A very slow build up. It does go pretty wild at the end. Good acting and they did a great job making such a small set work so well. Only complaint is that it’s ambiguous ending(which I’m usually ok with) is maybe a tad too unclear. There’s a general consensus on it online and I can see it now but watching it myself at the time I was a little lost.

This film feels like it set out to be the best student film you've ever seen. Tiny in scope, precise in execution. It tells a very simple story as interestingly as possible, unfolding in an impactful way, without any excess fat. Great use of space, dynamic cinematography, OUTSTANDING sound design (wow!) and great performances create the type of exhilarating ride that will stick with you for a while. Loved it!

Both actors give incredible performances, playing characters stopped up with feelings and secrets. "You'll Never Find Me" is intensely alive.

You’ll Never Find Me is an excellent, audacious entry to the horror genre. It’s disconcerting and thrilling, with an emotional center and something to say. Allen and Bell confidently craft an effective story that will stay with you long after it’s over.

Bell and Allen employ big ambitions in a confined area, treating stranger-danger paranoias with an elevated supernatural presentation that’s frightening—maybe a bit overlong—but undeniably effective.

You’ll Never Find Me gets lost in its own madness. Its ending is less ambiguous and more thoughtless.

Aburrida, diálogos insípidos, predecible, etc, etc. No aguanté más de 40 minutos sin pasarla hacia adelante y viendo lo que se venía no me arrepiento para nada. Pérdida de tiempo.

A boring and predictable film, the denouement of which is clear in the first 5 minutes. During the viewing, I did not experience a single drop of fear or tension like in the movie Barbarian or Abigail. It feels like a female screenwriter and a female producer are asserting themselves throughout the film. The maniac has no motivation, the chosen method of murder is incredibly stupid and boring. Such maniacs simply cannot exist, because they did not receive anything from their victims

This film is beyond terrible. Two characters who you would never look twice at in an empty supermarket and I'm supposed to care? What made films like Blair Witch work is the characters were developed and had personalities. They didn't even spend 1 minute before meeting these characters developing them. It's like not baking a cake and being surprised when you reach for it a day later it's moldy and slimy. Unfortunately, I've come to the conclusion that the horror genre is just dead permanently because now in 2020+ the technology to record films like this is very easily accessible. That means that anyone who can afford a few hundred dollars for cams and then hire a scene editor can make these crapshoots on basically no budget at all except a bit of time. The result is tons of extremely low talent actors trying to hit a lucky viral jackpot film. The genre is completely oversaturated and too hard to profit off of successfully anymore unless it's a franchise.
