The Knife (6.4/10)

This mystery-thriller didn’t quite deliver on the “thrill.” Despite being a short film, it felt like a slow burn. The storyline was solid and had potential, but the acting and dialogue fell short, making it hard to stay engaged. The ending offered a bit of a surprise, the kind of twist you hope for in a mystery, but it wasn’t enough to redeem the film or raise its score in my book."A family's life gets thrown into disarray when they find a mysterious woman in their new home. By the time the police arrive, the intruder is lying unconscious on the floor with a knife in her hand. Questioned by a detective, the couple and their two children try to safeguard one another's secrets. However, the choices they make soon lead to consequences even more graver than they could have imagined."
