And it’s not just Stephen King out there praising the new movie.

An intimate thriller, the film takes place in one house and focuses almost exclusively on just two characters: Diane (Paulson) and her 17-year-old wheelchair-bound daughter Chloe (newcomer Kiera Allen). Diane raises her daughter in isolation, keeping her totally sequestered from the outside world. But when Chloe uncovers her mother’s sinister secrets, everything she knows begins to unravel.

Sounds Stephen King-ish to me!

The official synopsis goes like this:

They say you can never escape a mother’s love… but for Chloe, that’s not a comfort — it’s a threat. There’s something unnatural, even sinister about the relationship between Chloe (newcomer Kiera Allen) and her mom, Diane (Sarah Paulson). Diane has raised her daughter in total isolation, controlling every move she’s made since birth, and there are secrets that Chloe’s only beginning to grasp. From the visionary writers, producers and director of the breakout film Searching, comes a suspense thriller that shows that when mom gets a little too close, you need to RUN.

Run is now available to stream on Hulu.
