Synopsis: A home schooled teenager begins to suspect her mother is keeping a dark secret from her. They say you can never escape a mother’s love... but for Chloe, that’s not a comfort — it’s a threat. There’s something unnatural, even sinister about the relationship between Chloe (Kiera Allen) and her mom, Diane (Sarah Paulson). Diane has raised her daughter in total isolation, controlling every move she’s made since birth, and there are secrets that Chloe's only beginning to grasp. From the visionary writers, producers and director of the breakout film Searching, comes a suspense thriller that shows that when mom gets a little too close, you need to RUN.

Critics' reviews

"Despite a script (by Chaganty and Sev Ohanian) that sees no need to flavor its tension with flashbacks or character-fleshing, 'Run' has fun with its ludicrous plot."

Jeannette Catsoulis: The New York Times
"A delicious Hitchcockian thriller (...) Dueling excellent performances from a deranged Sarah Paulson and spunky newcomer Kiera Allen (...) make it hard to look away from the screen"

John DeFore: The Hollywood Reporter
"'Run' is well-crafted and a highly entertaining thriller that’ll keep you hooked from beginning to end. It’s well shot and edited, and grounded by two fantastic leading ladies (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Meagan Navarro: Bloody Disgusting
"Paulson has always been a smart, versatile actress, and she gets to show all the colors of a fractured rainbow here (...) [The script rewards] viewers with one of the better endings of a movie this year"

Michael Ordoña: Los Angeles Times
"It’s not subtle, mind you, but in the scheme of campy Paulson performances, this one registers as more nuanced, allowing Chaganty to get away with maintaining the mystery for longer"

Peter Debruge: Variety
"[The] screenplay hits repetitive beats (...) but there’s enough go-for-broke and whiplash-inducing shifts in tone on display to suggest this filmmaking duo [Chaganty and Ohanian] has a future"

Ryan Lattanzio: IndieWire
"Sarah Paulson, as usual, is the reason to watch this often thrilling, sometimes generic Hulu Original (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
