Caveat is a 2020 horror-thriller film directed by Damien McCarthy and starring Jonathan French, Leila Sykes, and Ben Caplan. The movie revolves around an amnesiac drifter named Isaac, who is hired to keep watch over a strange and psychologically disturbed young woman named Olga.
Isaac is struggling with partial memory loss and is in need of cash. He agrees to the job under the condition that he must wear a leather harness connected to a winch in his back at all times as Olga's unusual behavior requires it. The job consists primarily of looking after Olga, who is confined to the house on an isolated island in Ireland.
Things begin to take a sinister turn when Isaac starts experiencing strange and terrifying occurrences, including hearing phantom whispers and seeing visions that are not there. As he begins to unravel the mystery surrounding Olga and the abandoned house, he realizes that the island is hiding dark secrets that could threaten his life.
Throughout the movie, McCarthy builds tension with a slow-burning approach and atmospheric cinematography that creates a foreboding atmosphere. The movie's climax takes the viewer on a thrilling journey that provides a satisfying payoff for the film's sinister set-up.
