A painful break up prompts Grace to visit her friend Liv who is living in the idyllic English countryside with her boyfriend Edward and his dog Polly.

Production
Ridder chose to create Help as he had wanted to film a thriller and also wanted to "tell a story that is universal, something that everyone can relate to – manipulation, obsession and love". He drew upon knowledge and feedback gleaned from his prior filmmaking experiences and also included "a lot of my own experiences from life." Filming took place in Somerset during a twelve day period and the movie's cast and crew were required to isolate prior to the shoot, as it took place during the COVID-19 pandemic.They were also required to have daily temperature checks, while any visitors had to also social distance and wear a mask.[citation needed]
Reception
Film Threat reviewed Help, writing that "Be patient with the plot, including a story of a lesbian encounter that seems only to exist to be provocative. It’s there for a reason and plays into the ultimate payoff at the end. It’s worth the wait."[6]
