La acosadora

I liked this movie more than I thought that I would. I was very shocked at how good it was do to the fact that the beginning was a little slow in my opinion. I was definitely rooting for Sissy in this movie and understood why she did what she did. I don't agree with her actions and I personally would not have done any of the things she did in this movie but I definitely understand why she did it. I have seen women with YouTube videos like the ones shown in this movie and it makes me think or wonder how many women could be like Sissy(promoting self love, security and positivity) but are in fact insecure themselves!!! Lol.

There has been a trend for horror movies with a message over the last few years and some of them have left me cold. The message part often means that the horror aspect is down played so as not to offend a broader audience. Luckily, this is not the case with Sissy.

This film addresses issues like mental health and social media influencers but still has a cracking horror movie at its heart. It borders on horror-comedy at times - but, if you're a gore hound - there's PLENTY for you here. I wasn't expecting a lot from this movie but it was nicely set up, the acting was good, the blood was splurting and, overall, it was an enjoyable 82 minutes.

You bump into a friend from long ago, she invites you to her hen night and you go, then a bachelorette weekend, it's so nice that you can spend, some time together, to reacquaint, go with the flow. Alas the place where you are staying has an another, a person from your past who caused a spot of bother, and there's clearly still a trace, from the scar that's on her face, of the grudge that she finds difficult to smother. Soon things start to go off course and quite awry, as tensions rise no matter how you try, to bury your resentment, pull away from hobbled descent and wash the tears from streaming, prying, crying eyes.

Cecilia finds catching up with old school acquaintances a little more challenging than she'd imagined, but with her rope of invincibility she does her best to pull through.

Great performances and a genuinely original take on an often encountered theme.

Aisha Dee is excellent as a twenty-something self-help social media infuencer who has some major personal isues.

Through flashbacks, we see Sissy(or Cecilia) as a child playing with her best friends as they proclaim a life long allegiance to each other.

They met years later and Sissy is invited to a magnificent house in the middle of nowhere. The host has had an unpleasant encounter with Sissy, which leads to bad feelings among the house guests.

The film is a bit of a slow burn with a sometimes funny backdrop with a message on our current fascination with the world of cyberspace "friendships" which are, of course, not real life.

Ms. Dee is convincing as the unstable young lady and she makes the movie well wort watching.

Good plot. I wouldn't consider it a horror movie, more of a gore or suspense movie. I found somewhere that it was categorized under "comedy", but I think it's not part of that genre at all.

I don't like watching new movies in general, but I don't regret giving this one a chance. I love that they used a "mental health activist" influencer to portray narcissistic personality disorder. Beyond the development of the film, these influencers are some of the worst things about social media, and I think it's great that they use it to show that "not everything you see is reality".

The ending is twistedly brilliant.
