I'LL BE WATCHING | Trailer, Poster & Images

After Julie’s sister was murdered, she and her tech genius husband move to the country, and he installs a top-notch security system that he developed. When he leaves on a work trip, she gets trapped inside and is convinced that the killer is having fun playing a sick game of psychological torture, before killing her like her sister.

Bob Morley (“Love Me”), veteran actor David Keith (Daredevil, An Officer and a Gentlemen), Seth Michaels (Red Notice), Bryan Batt (“Mad Men”), and Hannah Fierman (V/H/S) also star in the Erik Bernard-directed feature.

Uncork’d Entertainment will release this nail-biting home invasion thriller I’LL BE WATCHING, starring actress (‘’The 100’’, The November Man)/social media sensation Eliza Taylor on digital May 2nd, 2023.

I don't know if anybody came across this movie or not, but Wolf Creek is not only the horror thriller Ryan has played.

6 Plots is a horror thriller based on 6 high school friends which means you get to see a 23-year-old charming Ryan playing a dandy teenager. He is quite lovely in the movie. I bet if I had known this man in 2012 through this movie I would've had a huge crush on him.

Enjoy another beautiful performance by my man, RYAN CORR.

every so often I watch a playthrough of the quarry, unable to stop myself from watching the whole thing, knowing that every single time I will bring back my fixation on it

doesn't sound like a bad thing though right?

OH BUT IT IS

sadly my fixation on the quarry always comes with constant anxiety 24/7 as long as it lasts so I have to distract myself with every piece of media I can find to get rid of it

it's so annoying because laura and dylan are two of my favourite characters of all time but I can never stay interested because it ruins my mental health 😭

but I just finished jacksepticeye's playthrough so HOPE THIS ONE GOES AWAY FAST LMAO

Favorite Horror movie Eliza is in?

I personally love Wrong Turn and Soul Survivors.

Thank you for the ask and excellent question! Those are my favorite Eliza horror movies too, with the addition of Open Graves. I think the idea / plot of both Soul Survivors and Open Graves is better but the overall execution is better in Wrong Turn. And since I've seen everything Eliza's been in, I'm gonna go nuts below the cut. Almost all of them have a twist!

Spoiler free ranking and mini-reviews of all of Eliza's scary movies below!

Using a loose definition of scary movie, the contenders in chronological order are: Soul Survivors (2001), Wrong Turn (2003), The Alphabet Killer (2008), The Coverup (2008), Open Graves (2009), Locked In (2010), The Scribbler (2014), and Eloise (2016).

Here's my ranking of all of these movies! Categories below are from IMDB, bold are the only ones that are really Horror movies. Links go to the pages for these from Eliza Dushku Daily. Some gifs may have spoilers.

Wrong Turn (Horror / Thriller)

Open Graves (Horror / Thriller)

Soul Survivors (Horror / Mystery / Thriller)

Locked In (Drama / Thriller)

The Alphabet Killer (Crime / Mystery / Thriller)

Eloise (Horror / Mystery / Sci-Fi)

The Coverup (aka The Thacker Case) (Crime / Drama / Mystery)

The Scribbler (Mystery / Sci-Fi / Thriller)

I prefer regular Horror to Crime / Mystery movies, so YMMV. Also Eloise squicked me out a little bit, so the horror got too intense for me. (I can still rewatch it.) I think Wrong Turn is alot better than any of the others. Please do your own check for content / gore / etc.

Spoiler free mini-reviews for each of these BELOW. I'll include a note if it's streaming for free in the USA (as of Oct 2023), but also check your library!

Wrong Turn - rated R - a classic! I like that they don't push Jessie (Eliza) and the main dude into being a couple / kiss. (They kiss in a deleted scene.) They work better as friends. I like the way the movie brings the group together. Warning: lots of gore. (reminds me of 2008 The Strangers a little bit) Bonus: the Albanian flag white tank top!

Open Graves - rated R - I like the twist OK, but the execution of the movie is so-so. The main dude and Erica (Eliza) have decent chemistry. Eliza is charming and gets lots of screen time. The ending was a little bit of a let-down, because it focuses on the main dude. Streaming free on TUBI and others.

(semi-spoiler: if you like Final Destination you might like this.)

Soul Survivors - rated PG-13 and R - I like the twist (another twist!) but the plot wanders. Annabel (Eliza) is friends with the main girl Cassie and they even dance together but Bad Girls at the Bronze it is not. I am not as harsh, but agree with alot of this reviewer's thoughts on Soul Survivors (esp the kissing scene) - not spoiler free review HERE. A great quote from it:

"An early scene of Cassie and Annabel dancing together is a clear attempt to recapture the Fuffy energy, but all it does is definitively disprove the theory that you can put Eliza Dushku onscreen with any wholesome blonde girl and sparks will fly. They have no chemistry. None." It's true. Annabel is not straight in this movie but Cassie definitely is. Cassie forgot to Bring It!

(PG-13 version streaming free on TUBI and others. R version streaming free on Pluto and others.)

Locked In - rated R - Renee (Eliza) is not in this very much, despite being prominently featured in the poster. She's definitely a side character. I like the twist, but it's not as good as Soul Survivors because Renee is in it so little. (But when she is! <redacted> ahem.) The guy is blah. (Random shout-out to the lighting in the bar scene, Renee looks amazing. See below.)

The Alphabet Killer - rated R - Inspired by a true story, Megan (Eliza) investigates missing girls and on paper the plot is good. I think the movie was afraid to commit and kept waffling. There's also minimal romance / sexual tension. And there's a lot of characters to keep track of. If you've always wanted to see Eliza in a cop uniform, this movie delivers. Streaming free on TUBI and others.

Eloise - rated R - Pia (Eliza) is in this a fair amount, and she has some backstory. She and a group of people (including her adult younger brother) go explore an abandoned mental institution. As you do. It's decent for a horror movie. Streaming free on Plex and others.

The Coverup (aka The Thacker Case) - rated R - Monica (Eliza) is an assistant to a personal injury lawyer. He takes on a police brutality case based on a true story. (ACAB! There is no twist in this movie.) Monica is not in the movie very much, and they give her the worst hair Eliza has ever had. They somehow make Eliza look almost plain, well as much as you can to Eliza. I applaud the topic but as a movie it's not great. Streaming free on Amazon Prime if you are a subscriber.

The Scribbler - rated R - (BTVS fans this movie also stars Michelle Trachtenberg in a larger role than Eliza's.) It's based on a graphic novel. Jennifer (Eliza) has a few scenes as a criminal psychologist interviewing the main character, along with a cop detective. The plot stumbles around.
