Rust Creek is not a dialogue-driven film, especially in the action-driven first act, but Corfield’s telling micro-expressions keep us with her on every painful step of her journey. With Rust Creek she lives up to that promise, and McGowan wisely puts a lot of faith in Corfield’s hyper-expressive face to communicate without saying a word.

Corfield made a lot of just a few moments on screen charismatic, strong chemistry with her scene partner (Tom Cruise, no less), and one of those faces seemingly made for lighting up a screen. I’ve been waiting to see a solid starring vehicle for Corfield since her memorable bit part in Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, where she plays the ill-fated record shop attendant in the film’s opening minutes. Scott Pilgrim cast members will reunite in Netflix anime series. Perhaps, like in Rust Creek a local spotted a girl alone on the side of the road and pulled over to offer help while actually having. In the movie, the main character, Sawyer, also leaves college without telling anyone where she is going.

Rust Creek, a survival thriller movie from 2018, has finally hit our Netflix screens it’s proving to be a terrifying watch and has led fans to wonder if it’s set in a real place. This is the plot of Rust Creek, which is currently in Netflix’s top 10 of streaming content. Like many survival thrillers, Rust Creek follows a young college co-ed, Sawyer ( Hermione Corfield) into a remote forest, where she gets lost on her way to an important job interview. Screenwriter Julie Lipson and director Jen McGowan aren’t as interested in putting their heroine through a graphic, exploitative wringer (though they indulge in the thrills of survivalism in the film’s familiar first act) as they are invested in the character drama of her survival. Fortunate then, that there are films like Rust Creek that surprise by leaning into the strengths of the backwoods thriller while subverting the predicted beats. Which is all to say that when you start a movie and see an ambitious young city girl get lost in the woods, you feel like you’ve got a pretty strong sense of where this is all going to go.

Evil, joining the ranks of zombie movies, slashers, vampires and the other horror staples so popular they spawn self-referential humor. We’ve seen so many fish out of water horror over the years and the deep woods killer/rapist has become such a recognizable trope that it got the meta-horror treatment with Tucker and Dale vs. If you’ve watched enough thrillers, you know that nothing good comes to city folk who wander into the backwoods.
