Yellowstone star’s new Netflix horror movie has a wildly split Rotten Tomatoes score

As a seasoned gamer and horror movie enthusiast who has braved countless virtual nightmares, I must admit that my heart skipped a beat when I came across Don’t Move on Netflix. The combination of Sam Raimi, known for his iconic horror films, and Yellowstone’s Kelsey Asbille was enough to pique my interest.


Currently available on Netflix is a fresh horror film by Sam Raimi, featuring Kelsey Asbille from Yellowstone. However, due to the divided reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, it seems that this movie may elicit strong opinions – some people might adore it, while others could find themselves disliking it intensely.

If you’ve been keeping track of the latest films streaming online, there’s a good chance you’ve stumbled upon Sam Raimi’s new horror movie on Netflix. Titled “Don’t Move,” this R-rated thriller features Kelsey Asbille (Monica Dutton from Yellowstone) in a chilling role where her character is pitted against life-threatening circumstances.

In this scenario, Asbille portrays Iris, a young lady who receives a paralyzing substance, leaving her with just 20 minutes to evade before her entire system fails and falls prey to a notorious murderer if she cannot flee.

This October, rich in true crime and chilling tales, stands out as a prolific month for such narratives. Among them, Anna Kendrick’s Woman of the Hour, which delves into the real-life story of the Dating Game Killer, has garnered significant success. In contrast, Don’t Move seems to have struggled to gain traction, neither attracting praise nor criticism.

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve been keeping an eye on the latest film produced by Sam Raimi. On Rotten Tomatoes, it boasts a 72% Tomatometer score, which is quite promising. However, the Popcornmeter score, another gauge of audience response, stands at 48%. This leaves me pondering whether it’s worth investing my precious movie-watching time.

Across social media platforms, opinions remain divided; some enthusiastically endorse the horror movie while others dismiss it entirely.

“I’ve watched some stupid idiot movies on Netflix. But Don’t Move may take the cake,” said one user, while another wrote: “Anyone else watch that lame movie on Netflix, Don’t Move? Wow so ridiculous.”

Yet, someone else commented: “The idea was straightforward yet brilliantly carried out. Superb camera work and an atmosphere of suspense. Among the top Netflix Originals this year.

“Netflix’s Don’t Move is the ultimate survival nightmare! Kelsey Asbille’s character is paralyzed, fighting for her life against a relentless killer. Tense, unique, and packed with suspense, it’s a solid pick for Halloween chills. Worth a watch!” wrote another.
