Kindred also stars Jack Lowden (Fighting with my Family) and Fiona Shaw (Harry Potter) as the deceased family whom Charlotte feels is trying to kidnap her. All the actors in this film do a tremendous job of keeping you on edge, while Lawrence sells the painful experience she is going through while trying to free herself from the constraints she feels she has been put in.
In the end, I highly recommend watching this film. Kindred does an incredible job of holding the audience in suspense and keeping you guessing throughout the entire film. There are no cheap scares or shocks, just an uneasy feeling that continues to get under the skin and remains there the entirety of the film. However, at times it can start to feel as though you’re in a trauma loop, but this, in my opinion, isn’t a bad thing. I personally feel this was done in order to make the viewer see through Charlotte’s eyes in order for us to feel her anxiety and trauma rather than giving us a clear view of what is truly going happening to her.
Kindred hits theaters and streaming on November 6, 2020.
