The Hitchcockian British thriller I Came By will be released on Netflix on August 31st. The film stars actors like George MacKay, Kelly Macdonald, and Hugh Bonneville. I Came By follows a graffiti artist who finds himself in a dangerous situation when he discovers a shocking secret.
The film was Directed by Iranian filmmaker Babak Anvari and has a timely message about wealth disparity and classism. The film’s premise is somehow similar to Fede Álvarez’s home invasion thriller Don’t Breathe.

During a chat with Digital Spy, Anvari revealed that he drew inspiration from real-world events. I Came By is supposed to be an entertaining thrill ride, first and foremost. The plot has a lot of twists and turns to keep the audience interested throughout the film. The film roughly has a two-hour runtime.

As mentioned, the movie is not based on a true story. However, the director Babak Anvari was inspired by real-life events. Therefore the idea of this movie is original.
During a conversation with Digital Spy, Anvari stated, “Obviously it’s a work of fiction. I’m taking inspiration from real events and heavily fictionalising it, but as it was brewing, I was watching the world events and everything that is happening, it definitely affected the story and the central theme of it.”
