Thirst Trap

You could really tell the Director of this film really wanted to weave a suspenseful web for you. This film was gritty, tense, suspenseful, and thoroughly enjoyable. The production design was top notch as well. You could tell the story was getting suspenseful, not just by action in front of you, but by the way the colors changed from a happy bubblegum science to terrorizing by the end. Honestly, this isn't the kind of movie I'd normally go see with no car chases or explosions, but I'm super glad I did. In fact I've seen it now more than I know a couple of times. I can see why this production has won so many awards and I can't wait until Chantal's next film to see what she brings us.

The story follows a cam girl in Hollywood whose dreams take a dark turn because of an obsessive fan.

What really stood out to me was the look and feel of the movie. The production design was super strong, creating this really interesting and sometimes unsettling atmosphere. You can tell a lot of thought went into the visuals, and it really helps tell the story.

The lead actress, Riley Ann, is fantastic. She really carries the movie and makes you feel for her character as things get increasingly intense. It's definitely a thriller that keeps you on edge, and it explores some interesting themes about the pressures of the online world and chasing dreams in Hollywood.

It's the kind of movie that sticks with you after you've watched it. Such a well-crafted and engaging film. Definitely check it out if you're looking for something suspenseful and a bit different!"

Production design. Outstanding!

Costuming. Perfect! Everything from the bedroom to walking down Hollywood Boulevard in the big red coat. I get her. I feel for her and I can appreciate her character development and growth and ultimate change in the end. Love the original score. It gave me the feeling of watching something like Blade Runner or any John Carpenter film.

Grace definitely grabs your attention and holds onto it the entire time. It's quite obvious that the Director made her feel like she could do this in front of the camera and feel completely comfortable in this role. Not an easy thing to pull off. Overall, impressive, great job to you, your cast, and your crew.

Sorry to tell the honest truth about this movie but it is wholeheartedly horrible. There are no redeeming qualities in this movie. It looks extremely low budget and there is no nudity (which I know for you chumps is the only reason for your viewing pleasure).

Yes the lead actress is pretty but simply not convincing and a terrible actress. There was a key point in the film not spoiling anything but you'll know.

As an opinion I believe the prior 10 star reviews are blatantly not legit and certainly from people who worked on the film.

Bottom line. So I say this: Please be aware. Do not bother wasting your time.

Really enjoyed this piece from start to finish; the candy-pink color palette sets the mood both for the LA Seductive Pop tone the movie starts in and the surreal, otherworldly space of terror Riley-Ann finds herself trapped in by the middle of the film. You really feel her desperation as her world starts closing in and the danger to her career and personal safety grows. She's a woman who has to exist in multiple worlds, a grim reality of the entertainment industry, or risk losing her means of sustainability, and the actress encapsulates this perfectly as she tone-shifts between on- and off-camera personas. I felt chills as her stalker gets closer and closer while staying just outside of her and the viewer's perception. Thirst Trap stands as a dark reminder of the dangers women face in a world that objectifies them and makes their existence a commodity.
