Sweetheart is a 2019 monster movie directed by Justin Dillard and starring Kiersey Clemons.Clemons plays a woman who washes ashore on an uninhabited island after the boat she was on capsizes while on vacation. After spending some time attempting to survive on her own, she soon comes to realize that she isn't as alone as she initially thought. On the contrary, she finds herself being stalked by a dangerous creature that emerges from the water each night to feast.

Make Sure He's Dead: Jennifer takes no chances - even after the creature seems to be dead, she painstakingly decapitates its corpse for good measure.

Ambiguous Situation: What happened between Lucas, Mia and Zach? He has stab wounds, and his blood is apparently inside Lucas's raft and upon his effects. What exactly happened is never truly revealed and with the monster taking Mia and Lucas, neither we nor Jen will ever know.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: While Jennifer's initial reunion with Mia and Lucas after they wash up onshore is very warm and emotional, they turn out to be a pair of shitweasels pretty quickly. And that's before evidence begins to pile up that they may have killed one of their supposed friends.

Once is Not Enough: Defied: after the monster collapses from blood loss and dies, Jenn stabs it once more to make sure and then decapitates it with a knife just to be sure it's dead.

Damsel out of Distress: Jennifer needs no help in rescuing herself. Despite difficulties, the only other characters in the story (including her boyfriend) prove useless and Jennifer shows great skills taking down the monster that was threatening her all alone. In fact, the others prove more of a hindrance than anything.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Sweetheart / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: As dangerous as the monster is, it's still a predatory animal. While it seems to enjoy the taste of humans, being stabbed or otherwise injured makes it back off several times like a real predator would react. While the creature remains dangerous until it dies, the stab wounds Jenn inflicts on it begin to hinder it and it's visibly struggling to move towards the end of the confrontation. Rather than a climatic finale, the creature merely dies of blood loss from its many wounds and collapses.

 Sweetheart / int_42215dce
comment
Ambiguous Ending: The final shot of the movie is an injured and exhausted Jennifer slowly limping toward the raft after killing the monster. Whether she ever makes it home is left unanswered, although the note she leaves behind implies that she's beyond the point of caring. Given that a massive stretch of the forest is on fire, it's also possible that any passing planes might see and rescue her.

Minimalism: This is an overall pretty minimalistic movie. For the most part, the movie only has one character, Jennifer, and doesn't even show the creature until halfway through the movie, and the story is set on a single beach, with only a few props.

Asshole Victim: Lucas and Mia are both insensitive, condescending pricks who are strongly implied to have murdered one of the group's friends. Lucas is also shown to act possessive and entitled when it comes to Jenn. As such, it is unlikely anyone will feel particularly upset when both wind up being monster chow by the end of the movie.

Sinister Silhouettes
 Sweetheart / int_98e87f7
comment
Sinister Silhouettes: We get our first glimpse at the monster this way. Jennifer tries to get the attention of a plane flying overhead on one of her first nights on the island by firing a shot of a flare gun into the sky. She's too late, unfortunately, and as the flare descends toward the ocean and illuminates the surrounding area, we can see a vaguely humanoid but distinctly inhuman silhouette standing in the water watching her.

Made of Iron: The creature gets a flare point blank to the face, stabbed in the chest underwater, and stabbed dozens of more times by Jennifer before finally dying. Downplayed, however, as it's repeated stab wounds do begin to hinder it severely and it ultimately dies of blood loss.

Due to the Dead: Jennifer does the best she can with her limited tools to bury and cover Brad's body. Unfortunately, this quickly turns into Not Enough to Bury once the creature digs up Brad's corpse and eats it.

Nothing Is Scarier: Quite a lot of this until around halfway through the movie. The only hint we get that something unusual is going on are Brad's last words before he succumbs to his wound. Even by the end, we don't know exactly what the monster is, where it came from, or what is down there in its home in the dark hole.
