I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I first saw this as a Lifetime Movie Network premiere, so naturally, I was expecting a cheesy, guilty pleasure. Much to my surprise, it has a very well developed plot, and is relatable in the way it depicts how easily influenced and entranced high schoolers can become with infatuation. After renting it from Amazon Prime, I found myself more drawn to the characters than anything, gaining an understanding of all perspectives of their complicated emotional states. From the very first scene, there are subtle nuances that come into play as part of character development as the story is crafted. Somewhat based on actual events from writer Shelley Gillen's son, I would recommend this for a Friday night stay in flick.

I can't believe how many times I've watched this cinematographically amazing film. That is, it's all beautiful on the outside, hiding the chaos and wickedness within. That's the basic gist of this film--the beauty of temptation and the suffering blind trust in love can cause. The emphasis on female beauty and the need for a boyfriend is on the offensive side, if you notice such things. It was refreshing to see a clueless virgin guy being led through the teenage labyrinth of lust and drugs. I really had to wonder about his strength of character, if any. This is a good choice for a rainy afternoon if you're thinking about your youth and how glad you are to be free of its complications.

This girlfriend from hell movie is quite harrowing even though you know it's not a true story and it's a bit too much.A totally whipped teenage boy played by Grant Gustin from Glee falls prey to the charms of a lovely but harmful and evil crazy girl played by the beautiful Jessica Lowndes. She gets him to cut school, get drunk, drugs him and tries to get him to kill himself. His hapless mother is played well by Annabeth Gish.The filming location is quite attractive in British Columbia.Maybe mothers should get their sons to watch this. A good warning for whipped boys, she's not worth it!

Jessica Lowndes is feverishly great here as a young girl, thrown from foster home to foster home, with suicidal tendencies-that is, she gets unsuspecting decent guys to levels and then makes it appear that they've killed themselves-while she herself has committed the dastardly deeds.Her third victim in her sinister scheme is Chris, a 16 year old whose father has left the home due to alcoholism.Vanessa, Lowndes, will lie, cheat and do anything in her never ending attempt to inflict guilt and mayhem among the guys she selects for ultimate death.When Chris's mother interferes with her plans, she drugs him and then accuses him of raping her. At first, the police believe her story and the other high school teens shun him.A powerful, suspenseful drama, very well realized by all. These films seem to have one thing in common. Even when caught, the vixen will attempt her evil ways again on some unsuspecting guy. Vanessa is no different in the institution she has been sent to.
