Death Clique

Not a bad movie at all. It started pretty cheesy then ended up catching my attention and it kept me interested. It was predictable at times but the emotional side of this movie is what kept me watching.

I felt so sorry for the victim's (sara) family. Sara's mother played her part very well. So did the victim's friend.

I could put myself in the characters' shoes therefore the acting was pretty good overall.

This movie upset me as I found it to be very realistic. Not many movies make me cry, but this one sure did.

Definitely worth a watch.

In 2012, Skylar Neese was murdered by two of her friends; in 2014, her story was murdered by Hollywood. Some films are so bad they are good; this one is so bad it gives Below Utopia a run for its money.

My ongoing prayer that Lexi Ainsworth won't make me look stupid by making my prediction of an Oscar for her within a decade or so just took a slight hit, but through no fault of her own. The fate of her character in the film appears a metaphor for the actress's true opinion of the material. Given absolutely atrocious writing, and a nearly-as-atrocious supporting cast, she did her best to save it, but the patient died anyway. In this film, Lexi is like the slow kid stuck at the doorbell after her friends rang it and ran way, leaving her to account for the sins of her peers.

Sara Cowan (Lexi), Jade (Brittany Underwood), and new-girl Ashley (Tiina Ivle) form the titular clique, with one meeting the titular fate. The unattractive Ivlev chews the scenery as if she'd smoked six joints on an empty stomach on her way to an all-you-can-eat buffet. Her impact on the film is that of a nuclear weapon. The exceptionally hot Brittany Underwood reveals that she is a much stronger television actress who comes much more into her own with a long-term role. Her take on Jade seems to be that of "submissive lesbian stoner." As Sara, Lexi mails it in, but does so with first-class postage for a script she could easily have performed in her sleep. The best she could give is what she gave: an absence of even minor mistakes. Having seen both Underwood and Lexi on soaps for years, I know what each are capable of. The emotional range she displayed in the scene she turned in on GH when Mac killed Warren could have won film awards. With compelling material, and a competent cast, she'll shine, but this film has neither.

Ideally, a world-class actress should be able to sit and wait for that killer script, but in the real world the bills have to be paid, and films like this have their place in the profitable true-crime niche, where the confines of the story tend to suffocate an actor's ability to take over a film. Rarely has this been made more apparent to me than here.

I knew it. This is based of Skylar Neese. It's a pretty good movie. Just pretty sad. And I thought that they did this by some Huge rocks or mountain with big rocks or something and outside!? However either way the storyline is pretty dang good. Messed up friends. I have a 10 year old daughter. And will be in middle school next year, it's scary to think that it could happen to any kid at any age. :( I'm glad that they got caught and are in prison for ever, or many many years! No parent should have to go through this. And it's disturbing and disgusting to think that someone is even capable of doing this.

I just wanted to write a glowing review for Barbra Allyn Woods, I think she did a great job for what it's worth. We all know what we're getting and what to expect with lifetime type movies...it's either your cup of tea or it isn't. Also if you like true crime, or movies based on the events, check it out of you have a sick week off, there's worse movies out there.

This may be a good movie for entertainment but to say they based it off of the murder of Skylar Neese is despicable. The one that was her friend for years was the ringleader not the new girl, I am in no way defending her but do it right and don't shame Skylar or the true story.
