"Unsane"

 2018 * R * 1h 37m   When reading about this movie, two thing grabbed my attention. First, it was filmed in only 10 days. And secondly, it was shot on an iPhone. How could it be any good? Well, IMDb gave it a fairly high rating so I gave it a shot. I was pleasantly (creepily) surprised. 

Sawyer Valentine (Claire Foy) has moved from Boston to Pennsylvania to get away from a stalker. She lands a good job. However she still has issues with men, so she sees a therapist to get treatment. While there she inadvertently signs some papers giving permission for the facility to admit her for observation. While she's there, she sees her old stalker (Nate Hoffman) is now working there. Or does she? She goes ballistic and is admitted for a longer stay. This is where things unravel. Is she cracking up, or is the stalker really there? 

She befriends another inmate Jay Pharaoh), who can get patients just about anything they need from the outside world, including a cell phone. He lends his to Sawyer to call her mother. He also tells her the facility is part of a huge scam. They'll treat patients as long as their insurance companies will cover their expenses. When the money runs out, they're released. This one will keep you guessing, right til the end.

I thought "Unsane" was pretty well done and had me completely creeped out. Good job on the acting especially Foy and Hoffman. Well worth and hour and a half of your time.
