Featured reviews
This starts off like a moody horror movie. In the end, it's only a spooky mystery. Kacey Rohl should have stayed as Vera. The change in Audrina actresses is acceptable and Arden is inevitable. Rohl could easily play all the different ages. India Eisley has the innocent fragility and beauty for the part. Her speaking voice does mumble her lines sometimes which isn't the greatest for a lead. The middle is a lot of slow rambling sexual melodrama. It's somewhat aimless. It needs a direction and the simplest is Audrina researching her namesake predecessor. By the end, the reveal doesn't satisfy as much as releases the movie from its expectations.
Perhaps it was the Lifetime trope of speeding up the events of the story to squeeze in as much into 90 minutes as possible that caused this movie to fall flat to me or maybe it was the awkward acting by just about everyone in the film, but this one was a dud to me. As I was watching, I could tell the concept and story itself were interesting and strong, but the adaptation felt off. The filmmakers aren't allowed to let moments flow naturally and everyone's at the same emotional pitch throughout most of the movie. Things happen so fast and there's not enough time for the actors, characters, or audience to deal with some of the pretty insane things that happen throughout the movie.

- TriviaMajor differences from the book include the removal of two major characters. Sylvia, Audrina's younger sister, who is born with an unnamed but significant neurological disorder; and Billie, Arden's mother, a double amputee who becomes involved with Audrina's father for a time before dying the exact same way Ellsbeth did. Another major change is that in the novel, Vera has brittle-bone disease and breaks her bones so often and easily that one of her legs grows shorter than the other. This, of course, contributes to her broken leg and the resulting fall at the end.
- GoofsWhen Audrina runs out of the piano teacher's house, the interior shot shows the front door swinging inward/open. When it cuts to the exterior shot, the door is swinging closed.
