Sick

A COVID-19 inspired slasher film that effectively incorporates pandemic elements into its story, Sick follows a pair of friends quarantined at a lake house where they are then hunted by a mysterious killer. The film is a brutal, suspenseful, and perfectly paced thriller that elevates the material through direction from John Hyams. With a classic slasher narrative at its core, it works somewhat as a pandemic-infused tale, leveraging isolation to amplify tension.
