Fake Reviews....so bad it's hilarious

This movie is so bad it's actually hilarious. The script is written on an 8th grade level and every scene is literally one take. Shame on all the fake reviews. It's so bad it's actually entertaining....like what's gonna happen now and how big can the plot holes be?

I'm assuming there was 3900 fake ratings

This movie was pretty horrible.. saw a rating of 7.7 and was expecting something good.

I was left disappointed, the story line was horrible but I assume it followed the true story so I guess that's why... The acting was below average.

Terrible script, very bad acting.

The script for this movie borders on being laughable. The acting is wooden and unconvincing. Give his one a miss.

Terrible

Bad be acting all around. The story was not even close to what's in a serial killer's mind. I've watched a ton of psycho-thriller/serial movies. There was nothing remotely interesting in this movie.

So Bad

Bad script, actors and waste of time. Not sure how it has such high reviews. Literally the worst movie I have seen in 20 years.

You know in 10 mins and turn it off

Horrible just horrible.

The other reviews say bad acting and I'll add bad writing and bad lighting to that It's a joke this has any high ratings.

Better than "Citizen Kane!!!"

...at least according to ratings here on IMDumBee. Ol' Kane only gets an 8.3 rating, whereas this cinematic masterpiece merits an 8.8...and that's from over a thousand ratings, too. And skimming through the reviews, about 75% of them are 2 or 3 line reviews (about the minimum number of words required here in order to post a review) that blather how this film is "So Good!" or "Loved it!!!"

I don't know how much of the budget of this grade Z product was set aside for the promotional campaign, but this production is sure getting its money worth...and I'm sure it paid off, too, by suckering in a few suckers to check it out and part with a measly two or three bucks to rent it.

So Bad It's Painful to Watch

Obviously there are a LOT of fake reviews about this one. The acting is laughable, I'm assuming the contract rate for the stats was no more than $1000. The filmography looks to have come from an iPhone 6 it's so bad. Don't waste your time. Watch an old episode of Criminal Minds and you'll be more satisfied.

Did I watch the same movie everyone else? 🤔

The worst movie I ever saw has one good thing going for it. This movie is so much worse. Don't waste time or brain cells. Acting was bad, the characters were sad and the cinematography...well 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Lock your doors

It's basically how all the serial killers think. Film was so well done almost felt real honestly. If you get scared easily be sure to turn on the light when watching.

Terrible piece of trash

This is a truly awful movie. Awful acting, awful script, pretty much a waste of time right from the start...and then it gets worse...save your money, and more importantly, your time. A root canal would be more pleasurable.

Horrible acting

This was some of the worst acting I have ever seen. Dialogue is horrible. Don't watch unless you are really bored and then you might fall asleep.

Don't Do It - Save Yourself

How can it have a 7.6 rating when it is at best a "B Grade" movie with "D Grade" dialogue. It is so bad that it boarders on ridiculous. 100 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Not even worth seeing how it ends. You would think it was written by a 14 year old; it's that bad! I should've read the ratings. Very, very disappointing.

Don't believe the positive reviews

This movie is the kind one that a TV channel would show them in the early hours of the morning when most people are sound sleep.

Why

I don't usually review movies but this one deserves one. Where do I start. Firstly the acting was atrocious and laughable.

The plot was there but the execution was dire.

The movie had great premise but it lacked something in so many areas.

Why have so many given it high ratings is beyond me.

Terrible - don't waste your time

Not sure about the legitimacy of the positive reviews, or if they are genuine, whether I saw the same movie as them. I found this painful to watch, particularly in regard to the acting. The characters were wooden and I found it hard to feel any empathy toward the "good guys". The script was filled with legal errors and simpl, was not good.

Awful awful movie, horrible acting.

I normally like these types of movies, but this was awful. The acting was horrendous! The script was so bad. Only thing that was fun was seeing Cody from big brother. Do not waste your time on this one.

I'm impressed

I enjoyed this film it is a slow but absorbing film that twists and yet stays relatively realistic. The acting is good and if you invest your mind in to it its very rewarding. Of course it depends on what you're looking for but we watched the movie last night and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it - my marker for a great thriller. I gave this movie 8 stars because I would have loved a little bit more resolve and information before the ending. But I would definitely watch it again and if you like thrillers that make you think - you should watch this. Well done to everyone involved in this film, hoping for a second one maybe.

Not bad overall, but...

The movie would have been better if the serial killer was more of the cunning, diabolical, Bundy-type, instead of the babbling buffoon the one in the movie is.

Terrible movie do not rent

If 2020 couldn't get any worse, they are now making us pay to watch B movies. This movie is terrible like really terrible. It's like a daytime soap opera with terrible acting and script. It should be rated as a comedy as it's so hilariously bad. Do not watch it save your time and money

Worst acting I've ever seen

Worst acting all through the movie, especially by the cops. The chick was so bad. Movie had potential but it was not even about capturing a serial killer's mind. Also the female cop repeats the address her boss gave her but it was completely different. And she says "roger that" when no one replied. It's so funny the dialogue in this film was trash. My 8 year old daughter could come up with a better script. I'd rather watch paint dry.
