Stay Away

Warning: Spoilers
The production takes place in the Upper Peninsula, Michigan. Helena (Brooklynn Prince, Daisy Ridley) lives in a cabin in the woods with her mom (Caren Pistorius) and dad (Ben Mendelsohn). She is a daddy's girl as he teaches her to hunt, trap, and track. Then suddenly out of the blue, her mother manages to take an ATV from a lost soul and forces her daughter to ride with her to town. Mom claims she was kidnapped and held prisoner. Helena wants her dad. Years past. Her dad is in prison and was nicknamed "The Marsh King." Helena is married and with a daughter. Neither knows of her past. Then Daddy escapes prison.

Daisy was good in a film that goes mostly nowhere. It has a few good scenes. I liked Helena as a child more than an adult. The movie becomes boring once Helena grows up.

Guide" No swearing, sex, or nudity.
