Chris, Hannah’s male friend, offers to bring supplies because he expects a large storm. He picks up a hitchhiker, who later dies in his van. The hitchhiker cuts power to Hannah’s house, and while she is outside attempting to restore power, he kidnaps Vee and flees on foot with her.

Watch Lou on Netflix Now!
Anna Foerster (Underworld: Blood Wars, Westworld) directs LOU and does an excellent job. From the visual style to the pacing, this is a thriller that I thoroughly enjoy.
I was concerned that the running time of 1 hour and 47 minutes would be too long. It’s not. Not even remotely!
Maggie Cohn and Jack Stanley wrote the screenplay, which is based on her story. Maggie Cohn’s first feature film screenplay follows her work on The Staircase, Narcos: México, and American Crime Story. This is Jack Stanley’s first published work.
LOU is packed with suspense, mystery, and brutal action sequences, as well as a realistic backstory reminiscent of some true-crime documentaries. You should definitely watch this on Netflix!
