The Promised Neverland

2020 · 119 min

A deceptively cozy orphanage curdles into a tense, dread-soaked escape puzzle that keeps you leaning forward, heart in throat.

Overview: A number of children are being well fed, taken care of, and pampered at a very meticulate and managed orphanage. The facility and grounds are impressive, but the wall acting as a barrier is high. There is a secret to the place and once revealed to several orphans, they're desperate to escape.
How it feels: Dark, tense, eerie and earnest. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Survival, betrayal, family, freedom
Content: Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
