What’s the twist in the story?
The story of ‘Don’t Move’ revolves around a young woman named Iris (Kelsey Asbill). She is grieving the loss of her young son, Matteo, and is alone in a secluded forest in California. One day, she meets a mysterious man named Richard (Finn Wittrock). But this encounter turns into a terrifying nightmare for her. Richard injects her with a paralytic drug that slowly paralyzes her body.
