Caveat (2020)

Caveat (2020)

Premise: A guy hires another dude to “babysit” his adult niece for a week in this house in the middle of a lake. The lady’s got some sort of schizothing issues and tends to get catatonic fits often, so her uncle wants the dude to make sure she’s okay. Oh, right, and she’s also got some serious personal space issues too, so the dude’s not supposed to go into her room. To make sure that’ll be the case, he needs to wear a harness that is chained to the basement.
So, a regular tuesday for most of us.
Under 90 minutes? Yes!
Do they say the title? No, we can’t have nice things.

One sentence review: I think if you go along with the super weird (and kinky?) bdsm premise, you’re in for a really entertaining ride.
Rating: I decided to watch this one after enjoying Oddity so much, and now I’m a big fan of the writer/director. Let’s see what he does next!
A simple way to improve it: By the beginning of the movie there’s this super creepy scene with a painting that is no longer relevant after that. That sucks! I love a spooky painting, please use it after introducing it! I was half-expecting it to be like, chekhov’s portrait or something.

Trivia about the IMDb trivia:

When Isaac arrives at the island in the beginning of the movie, he brings no supplies or clothes for a five day stay; the boat is empty.

BOY, I REALLY HOPE SOMEONE WAS FIRED FOR THAT BLUNDER

The movie also does NOT show him pooping. Are we to believe he spends a week constipated? snort
