TWO DRUG ADDICTS BOTCH A ROBBERY AND FIND THEMSELVES IN A REAL NO-WITNESSES BIND IN "THE SURPRISE VISIT" (2022)

 
The mullet is back and wants money for drugs. 

The Surprise Visit is a more-than-effective suspense thriller about a couple of drug addicts who rob a rich lady's house thinking she's out of town and let's just say things don't go so well. There's serious choices to be made if they're going to cover their tracks. 

The legendary Eric Roberts has a supporting role here as the drug addict's father and as usual is excellent. There's a lot of great talent in the acting department here but the real star is the performance by up-and-coming Regan Ferrier. She kills it as the confused and delusional druggie's girlfriend suddenly swept into something she can't control. 

Thumbs up for The Surprise Visit which also has a cool ending, streaming now on Tubi & Amazon Prime.  3.0 stars/5
