Feste handles the action and horror in “Run Sweetheart Run” well; and for those who can handle its more preposterous twists there are trashy pulp kicks to be had here.

Feste’s overall ambition and craftsmanship, along with a fantastic central performance from Ella Balinska, hold things together even over the film’s rocky patches.

Run Sweetheart Run comes from a well-observed point of view that roughly 50% of the world’s population shares. But its singular focus is shortsighted, holding the movie back from delivering effective scares.
