The movie to watch if you loved ‘The Woman in Cabin 10′: ‘The Woman in the Window’
It sucks when someone doesn’t believe what you clearly saw, right? It gets only worse when you run out of ways to prove yourself, and then you reach a point where you start questioning yourself. Something similar happened to Laura Lockwood, AKA Lo from The Woman in Cabin 10 on Netflix, when she claimed she saw a woman getting thrown overboard the luxury yacht.
But turns out, she’s not the only protagonist who had this feeling. If you’re planning to watch another psychological thriller that messes with your brain just as deeply as the Keira Knightley starrer did, watch The Woman in the Window on Netflix.
Directed by Joe Wright, based on AJ Finn’s 2018 novel, The Woman in the Window follows an agoraphobic child psychologist, Anna Fox, who lives alone in a Manhattan apartment following the separation from her husband, Edward. Edward is believed to be living away with their daughter when the film starts, and they are always in touch.
But since Anna is mostly homebound, she spends her day watching her neighbours. She also takes a lot of medication and drinks just as much. After a new family, the Russells, moves in across the street, one fine day, the teenage son, Ethan, comes to visit Anna, dropping hints that his father is abusive. Meanwhile, Jane, his mother, also drops in for a visit. However, one night she witnesses Jane getting stabbed to death in Russell’s home across the street.
However, as was the case with Lo, no one really believes her, including the law enforcement who inform that everyone’s alright in that house. Yet, when Alistair, Ethan’s father, comes to see Anna with Jane, she realises this is not the woman she met the first time, convincing her all the more about what she saw. Then things begin to escalate when she gets blackmailed on text with a picture of her sleeping, leading her to call up the detectives.
When the detectives arrive, instead of investigating her claims, they confront Anna with a hard truth about the car crash she caused, resulting in Edward and Olivia’s deaths. It happens to be so that since then, she has become agoraphobic, and the medications she takes can result in visions and hallucinations. While the realisation makes Anna recoil and apologise, later she stumbles upon a picture of her cat in her phone with a reflection of the original Jane in her wine glass.
Needless to say, this changes her outlook entirely, and we’re sure it will leave you with the same kind of confusion The Woman in Cabin 10 caught you up with. So, if you loved Simon Stone’s latest Netflix film, don’t forget to catch up with The Woman in the Window on Netflix.
