Out of the Fog

Molly Deacon is camping with her daughter and friends when she is elected to make a run to the nearest market for supplies. We quickly get to know Molly and her vivid, somewhat "worst case scenario" imagination as we drive the countryside roads in heavy fog. When she arrives at the local market, she witnesses a group of men beating a young man at the local bar and grill next to the market. When the shop owner refuses to help Molly steps in and rescues Alan Cartwright. What results is a terrifying evening that will have you listening intently.

Nash tells a compelling tale in this short that allows us to learn about the characters, the town and those pursuing Molly. She manages this while notching up the thrills. We join Molly as she must outwit her pursuers and I loved how her vivid imagination came to her aid. I liked Molly even when she was terrified she kept it together and I would like to think I would have responded similarly.

Ilyana Kadushin did a wonderful job of narrating. She managed to conveying both Molly’s fear and her humor. She helped set the tone giving me an enjoyable experience. Alan was more of a mystery, making me question whether we could trust him.

Out of the Fog is perfect for those who love a good thriller and a snarky, quick-witted heroine.
