Fatal Friends

This has got to be one of the most boring, predictable and nonsense films ever made. The classic "good" girl versus "crazy" girl stalker has been overdone far too many times but this time they decided to try and spice it up a bit by adding a music twist. The "good" girl is a budding classical music pianist and loves playing the piano in many partsof the film. Unfortunately, the classical music chosen is so slow and boring that it lulls you into a deep sleep. If that doesn't make you fall asleep, the pace of the film and some wooden acting, will. I've seen and heard much better.

What is the piece of piano music called that Ashley was constantly practising for her concert?

This was something to put on if you simply just appreciate lifetime when your bored. And don't mind wasting your time giving their hit or miss original movies a try. This one was just painfully bad, which shouldn't be a surprise if you are use to their whole set up. It had no real plot structure, no character development, and the one thing I hate more than anything in a movie is a "Mary Sue" protagonist. The main character had no real problems except for the ones the antagonist created for her. It's always a sad shame when there is no real depth to anyone in these movies. Quite honestly you could skip through the movie not missing much because even though they try to keep you focused on pretty faces and youthful music. By the climax it rushes you to lifetime's cliché way of all the mess hitting the fan and then the sun shines again at the end leaving you staring at the screen thinking....so that was it???

This is a strange film and I am unable to decide fully what I think of it.

Watching the film, I could not see how the initial scene linked in to the plot although we know it must be relevant in some way. Kirsten Prout plays the strange and unnerving Michelle very well. The strange baddie of course is in big goofy glasses, like she must be strange with these on. We cannot understand why she does the things she does and why she has chosen Sophia as a target.( if you hate spiders ...don't watch this) I could not see where the film was leading, as to what finale. There is a huge element of "the unknown enemy within" feeling which makes it unnerving.

The reasons come about 15 minutes from the end. The idea behind it is very good but then the film gets silly.

Watchable on an empty afternoon.

I don't play piano , but , I do remember my 13 year old playing similar pieces in music school !! I mean Sophia's playing skills were good ,but not scholarship material......that was way too farfetched ! This whole movie was so typical of the predictable stalker / physco type movie we have all seen before so many times .

Nothing new or oiriginal here, the only exciting part was the tarantula on the piano scene !

By the way I wonder where it wandered off to .............................shudder.
