Significant Other is a thriller about a young couple's romantic hike in the woods.
The film stars Maika Monroe (It Follows) and Jake Lacy (The White Lotus).
It's written by Dan Berk and Robert Olsen, and directed by Olsen.
Significant Other is a small film by Hollywood standards.
It's focused almost entirely on its two leads.
The film delivers an experience that's quite a bit bigger and more complicated than first meets the eye thanks to its clever narrative twists, and excellent performances by its leads.
Significant Other is at its best when it's keeping you guessing.
Monroe in particular walks a fine line throughout much of the film's first two acts.
She delivered a standout performance as the lead in one of the best horror films of the last decade, It Follows.
Significant Other makes great use of the dichotomy in its setting to swing the tone from a gloriously freeing, wide-open spectacle to oppressive, paralyzing terror around the characters.
Monroe and Lacy are superb at maintaining the ambiguity of their predicament at all times.
Significant Other is the sort of quietly terrifying film that might not get the kind of attention bigger-budget productions receive.
A satisfying, efficient thriller with plenty of surprises in store for audiences.
Directed by Dan Berk and Robert Olsen, Significant Other premieres October 7 on Paramount+.
