The American thriller film Don't Move, starring Kelsey Asbille and Finn Wittrock, was released by Netflix on October 25, 2024. Sam Raimi produced the movie along with directors Adam Schindler and Brian Netto.

The story revolves around a grieving woman named Iris (played by Kelsey Asbille) who has recently lost her son in a tragic hiking accident. As she visits the site of the incident in a state of depression and delirium, she decides to jump off a cliff and kill herself.

Just when she is about to do it, a man appears at the scene and introduces himself as Richard (Finn Wittrock). He talks to her in a convincing manner, telling her stories about his past and initially saves her life. But Iris soon realizes that Richard is a psychopath turned serial killer.

The movie explores Iris's struggle in a paralyzed state (she was drugged by Richard) and how she finally manages to kill Richard. To know the details about the cast and character guide of Don't Move, follow this article.

Kelsey Asbille plays the role of Iris in the movie Don't Move. Iris recently lost her son Mateo in a tragic accident, and in a grieving state of mind, she decides to take her own life.

The movie revolves around Iris's struggle against a killer named Richard, who first saves her and then paralyzes her with a drug just to hunt her down.

Asbille spent her early years in South Carolina and later moved to New York to pursue a career in acting. She made her debut in One Tree Hill (2005), playing the role of Gigi. During her initial acting years, she also appeared in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody by Disney (one episode). Kelsey Asbille is also known for her notable work in The Amazing Spider-Man, Teen Wolf, Gaslight, and Yellowstone.


(2) Finn Wittrock (Richard)

Finn Wittrock plays the role of a serial killer named Richard in the movie Don't Move. He initially comforts Iris with kind words but then drugs her (with a paralytic agent), ties her up, and tries to kill her.

The film portrays him as the antagonist, chasing Iris to death as she escapes from his confines. The character of Richard is the main reason why Iris (who initially wanted to kill herself) starts to think differently and finds the urge to live again.

Finn Wittrock started his early career as a pageboy at the Shakespeare and Company Theatre and later got a degree in fine arts. A few years down the line, he played a number of roles in Off-Broadway plays and finally got a regular part in the soap opera All My Children. He also received a Primetime Emmy nomination in 2014 for playing the part of Dandy Mott in American Horror Story: Freak Show.
