Velma is getting a lot of hate out there right now. Yes, there are definitely comparisons to be drawn to Harley Quinn, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.

This is one of the cases where critics blindly follow each other and do not give an honest opinion as it would go against the grain of what the critic fraternity is saying.

It is raw, it is funny, it is uncensored, it tackles valid issues while being zany. Existing characters who are now portrayed by someone of a different ethnicity always upsets people, but sometimes, like in this case, the change works and makes sense in the context.

Love it.

It was not the first time, but yet another case of feeling extremely proud of being South African.

Anna Mart is brilliant in her role as Clara - I feel that many women would be able to relate to her character.

This was our local equivalent of Julia Roberts in a sense - Anna Mart played the part beautifully and with believable conviction.

This movie had a Hollywood feel to it already - it is waiting to be grabbed and hopefully then it can get the recognition it deserves.

This country has brilliant writers, actors, producers and directors and I wish that somehow a larger audience could be introduced to it.

Forget the naysayers. This film wasn't shot on a shoestring production like Blair Witch, and it is not a big budgeted Hollywood Blockbuster either. It is a legitimate attempt at a decent suspense and should be given a fair chance in a Tinseltown-dominated environment where smaller independent film makers have great ideas which never see the light.

Everyone was nailed to their seats until the end, and that is what a suspense film is supposed to do. It is not a horror slasher, but I'd bet a fair amount that if someone tapped me on the shoulder during the film, I'd be in a row closer to the front.

I would say that character progression could have been a bit more emphasized, that's my only gripe.
