Girl at the Window is a new Australian horror thriller. It’s a low-budget production in style more than the actual budget perhaps, but it works. There are some plot elements that didn’t sit exactly right with me. They simply felt too forced or “convenient”.
However, the cast and story in general have a lot going for them. Also, we’re leaning into the so-called “Ozploitation” niche, so while it’s not amazing, it is still good entertainment.

Nothing new, but it works
Girl at the Window doesn’t really have a lot of innovation in terms of storyline or style. It’s an entertaining horror-thriller that features good performances from its cast and an entertaining plot. The kind where you’re supposed to wonder if you can trust the main protagonist. Or rather, their sanity.
It does work for the most part, but the ending does have elements that seem a bit far-fetched. I won’t get into it to avoid spoilers, but just expect that you might find it all a little too “nice and easy” at times.
In the lead roles as mother and daughter, we see Radha Mitchell and Ella Newton respectively. I can’t say anything bad about either. Of course, having just watched Radha Mitchell be awesome in Devil’s Workshop, this was a lot more laid back. Could’ve been cool to see some of that energy in this one.
However, that’s just not her Girl at the Window character in Girl at the Window. Also, while both Ella Newton and Radha Mitchell work really well in this movie, you will need to put on your Ozploitation glasses to accept (or buy into) the more forced elements of the storyline.
A troubled teenage girl who’s struggling to cope with the accidental death of her father suspects that the mysterious killer stalking her hometown is not only her neighbour but her mother’s new romantic interest.
