Reviews

Despite its intriguing premise, Hanging by a Thread falters in its execution, failing to fully capitalize on the suspenseful potential of its storyline. The acting, particularly by Sam Groom, is commendable, but the pacing of the movie feels inconsistent, at times dragging and lacking intensity. Critics note that the film struggles to maintain a sense of urgency, with some moments falling flat or feeling contrived. Although the plot offers a few surprising twists, they are not enough to redeem the overall lackluster feel of the movie. With an IMDb rating of 5.6/10, Hanging by a Thread ultimately falls short of being a must-watch thriller.
