Isolated from the world and working as a helpline volunteer while the child of her rapist grows inside of her, Charlie (Kathleen Kenny) has never shaken the feeling of being watched and pursued by her attacker, even after a man is arrested and convicted of a string of attacks that include her own. Needless to say, she is correct, and so ensues a steady game of cat and mouse between Charlie and her masked assailant, who returns as promised for the event of his child's birth. Between all of this, Charlie mans the phones and counsels the needy, which gives "Sorry, Charlie" a kind of sedate pace that'll probably rub a lot of people the wrong way but worked pretty well for me. It helps that Kathleen Kenny gives a solid performance as Charlie, who is as mentally spry as she is physically vulnerable, ultimately becoming a worthy opponent for the antagonist of the picture. And while the movie never reaches the heights of, say, "The Strangers" (it's a Tubi Original, after all), it's not a bad way to kill 75 minutes -- and it offers up the kind of twists and turns modern audiences should like in their home invasion pictures. I kind of wish it had gone down a bit of a darker path toward the end, but I'm still happy enough with what I got.
