Every frame of this movie was cliché and predictable, and I mean that. Not one time was I surprised by anything that happened. It was a chore to watch and a painful one at that. If you've seen Swimfan then you have literally seen this movie before, right down to the final scenes. And this movie makes THAT one seem like a masterpiece.

Dry acting, terrible dialog, zero chemistry between any of the characters and an overdone plot. Why would anyone finance this, let alone film and market it?

A goofy protagonist who does the exact opposite of what he should do at every turn, a bland love interest and a faux sexy tryhard of a "seductress" do not make for a good cast, nor interesting characters.

The worst part is, they didn't even bother to at least make the movie FUN. It was void of a single shred of humor or levity. How can a movie this trite have the gall to take itself seriously??

This really was a terrible movie all around. I can't even see this being enjoyable for the teens and tweens out for summer break. Avoid at all costs. Show Netflix that they need to invest more wisely with regard to the projects they produce (or purchase).

And why did I sit through it? I have been a user of IMDb for years but never bothered to sign in to write a review. This movie compelled me to do so, and not in a good way.

Actually, it may have been a good movie had it been made oh...30 or so years ago. But the plot has been done sooooooo many times now that every single second was predictable. The acting was bland (other than the young Asian woman who actually had a bit of a range other than 'smiling teenager', 'terrified teenager' or 'stalker teenager'). I have no idea whose idea it was to make this movie but it was a bad one. I was reminded immediately of 'Swim Fan' and going even further back, when Mark Whalberg was just past his Marky Mark phase and made 'Fear' with a young Reese Whitherspoon. Not to mention all of the zillions of Lifetime movies with the same plot, all of the excellently done Scream films, and even some elements of Beverly Hills 90210. Gah.

Don't waste your time.

Fhoof, it was a painfully long hour and twenty-something minutes... From the first few cuts is is obvious that this is something cheep and amateurish, but the basic script and the plain (or rather boring) staging and directing is more painful, than I would imagine.

The story is cliché, acting evokes mickey mouse club, cinematography and directing is faulty at best.

I am no director, but I had countless ideas during the flick, what I would have done differently. If you have a shitty script, at least you could fill the gaps with charisma, imagination and create a gripping atmosphere and let go of the owlishness. Could have gone more conscious about being a below-average "drama", 'cause labeling this a thriller is deceptive. Could have been more campy at least, could have played with film references from so many great productions like 2001 a space odyssey, basic instinct, cruel intentions, single white female, brick etc...

There is no atmosphere, no rhythm, dialogues skip the beat throughout the movie. There is nothing visually or artistically engaging or entertaining, this whole thing lingers in limbo.

The music... dunno it just bothered me, it wanted to sell everything the compositions, setting, staging, editing should've done.

The creators of this skipped their homework on film-making BIG TIME.

If you are about to direct your first feature, watch this and learn WHAT NOT TO DO!

Otherwise avoid this flick, offers nothing and delivers even less...

What the heck. whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Okay, there is literally nothing new in this movie. That being said, it is pretty entertaining and you probably won't turn it off. Bella Thorne, Halston Sage, and Taylor John Smith all turn in good performances and make up for some lackluster writing. A few less clichés and I think this movie would be more acceptable to most people, but again it was quite entertaining, fun, and enjoyable. It's not going to win any awards but that isn't the reason that you'd put a movie like this on, is it?
