Verdict on Isolated
Recap
The movie follows a nurse who takes a live-in role to help her family escape the dangerous streets. It seems perfect role for her, but begins taking a darker turn when she gets haunted by spirit. She begins to investigate the home, leading her to make a disturbing revelation.
Best Parts
The movie gets a fantastic reveal to what is happening. It shows a much more twisted idea that leaves us feeling shocked by what is happening. Elsewhere, the motivation to take the role is clear and the performances are strong from the cast.
Worst Parts
Some of the scares seem more misleading than they need to be with where the final story goes. They also feel very generic for what Rose goes through.
