Reviews
Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
FootyTootie I'm not entirely sure why so many people dislike this movie. It's really good. Throughout the entire movie I was getting the Alfred Hitchcock, Psycho movie vibe, but somehow this movie seemed to express much better acting qualities. I fell in love with the obvious romance between the two roommates and then grew involved with the plot. I was biting my fingernails terrified on what would happen next. The music was also really good. You should watch this movie if you love good movies. Really this is really good, I recommend.
nefertiti324 I'm not sure some of the people who left terrible reviews have actually ever seen "real" B movies. This was not the worst film I've seen, especially considering it's very low budget. The lead up to the "big reveal" wasn't executed well, which I think let down some viewers. But overall the story was decent, acting was alright (again, those who think this film had bad acting... I don't think they know the meaning of it), and I thought the "twist" at the end was kinda clever. Yes, there are many typical B movie features. This is after all, a low budget production. But that said, I think this movie is getting a worse rap than it deserves, which is the only reason I'm leaving this review. As far as the random low budget movies on streaming services goes, this film was alright.
dj_foxi_11-1 I consider myself to be a big movie buff. Regardless of what genre and what grade of movie, I will watch it. I watched this movie under the assumption that it would be good. Anything that is remotely a thriller/suspense movie should be good, right? Nope.Nope.Nope.I lost interest 5 minutes into the movie, barely managed to sit through the 85 minutes to follow but wanted to see what the 'fuss' was all about regarding the ending, and was severely disappointed. The score is quite bad. It reminds me of a pisstake on 80's horror films. The actors had NO probable cause for being on the screen, much less uttering a few lines, moving here and there and I kind of felt sorry for them. The editing is typical of a low budget film, but I've seen low budget films that are 10 times better than this mess. I have read a fair few 'positive' reviews and they all say the same thing 'Non-linear'. This was all over the place. There is no substance, no climax, and nothing is ever clear enough for the viewer to actually understand what is going on. Another thing that annoyed me was those two guys that were chasing the lead character throughout a majority of the movie. As soon as she would 'escape' their clutches, instead of jumping back in the car as she is driving off to pursue her, they keep walking forwards then stop and stand there, as if watching her drive off would somehow give her a change of mind and she may come back. Seriously? Where is the suspense? Def would NOT recommend this movie. I'm sure the actors have to have at least one bad movie in their career and this is one of them.
Vlad Viziteu Probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Characters with no background, awful sound,scenes with no logic.The plot is obvious from the start, but the scenes seem to be taken of the context you know they should be in and that is just annoying. Most actors don't have much to say in this movie, and those who do, have very weak dialogs. Also there are some scenes in which characters actions have no sense, logic. I understand that sometimes my expectations should not be very high if I watch a low budget movie, but it should have some sense.The idea of the movie isn't that bad.A movie should be a piece of art, something I cant say about this one.
