When a harmless game between a married couple in a remote retreat suddenly becomes a harrowing fight for survival, wife Jessie must confront long-buried demons within her own mind - and possibly lurking in the shadows of her seemingly empty house.
Where to Watch Gerald's Game
- James SaenzApril 23, 2026“you’re not real. you’re only made of moonlight.” what do you mean there’s a black lodge doppelgänger of the giant/fireman from twin peaks going freaky style on her feet? very disturbing and upsetting subject matter, but i do still have an appreciation for flanagan’s ability to inject sentimentality and sincerity into his storytelling. this is ultimately a story of the responsibility we have to victims, a story of confrontation with trauma and making active choices to heal and be kind to your younger self, all while in the midst of the abuse and gore. does the extremely disappointing coda kind of tarnish the rest of the film? yes, but its main focus is centered around those themes so it’s not entirely without merit.
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 19, 2024There is hardly any suspense at all in this movie, making it pretty boring and also not very scary. Some reveals are odd, and the drama is unrealistically overdone at times.
- Pascal BollierJanuary 26, 2026good performances by carla and bruce. this is not a jump scare movie, it is a slow burn with many underlying themes. there is a 10 minute sequence towards the end of movie that had me glued to the screen with an open mouth and a silent "WTF" on my lips. good stuff!
- Lasse ViinikainenDecember 12, 2025Slow and suspenseful. A solid thriller.
- Adam AragonNovember 10, 2025Really well done tension, suspense, and drama. Some parts are extremely uncomfortable so you should go in with a strong stomach and let the story unfold. It's worth it.
