    The most frustrating film I have ever watched.

    I actually enjoyed this film. Loads of tense moments and fun. But it so stupid. So many plot holes, so many stupid decisions. So many time you say to yourself "that just wouldn't happen"

    Acting solid. Score good. Some good experimental shots from the director. Just the sheer frustrating stupidity takes what could be a great horror film into a bit of a mess.

    Meh?

    Well, I didn't hate this. I also didn't love it. It was entertaining enough to watch through to the end, but I strongly agree with what others said in the sense that there are several moments where you say, "literally nobody would do that, " or, "yeah.... that's impossible. "

    I guess I appreciate the idea of this movie and how it didn't take too long to get to the action. I just think this would have been better suited as a Lifetime movie than a Netflix original.

    Check your expectations

    1. Don't watch the trailer beforehand. 2. Emotionally, it makes sense why Julie does what she does. Something, I think, some <4 star reviewers might not have understood. 3. Listen after the screen goes black at the end.

    Strong Direction but Doesn't Stick the Landing

    This movie had a lot of potential, but eventually stumbles and falls off a cliff. Starts really strong and has some solid cinematography but some of the characters' decisions will have you face palming pretty hard. It's worth watching, but not revisiting. I'll definitely keep an eye on the director, would be nice to see what he can do with a more solid plot

    Good Film, Let Down By Plot Holes.

    This actually kept my attention, where so many movies lately have ended up with me switching off. Yes it was full of plot holes, yes it was frustrating, but at least I got those reactions. And sometimes folks, not every movie has to have an explanation or tie up neatly.

    Well acted, well shot, decent story and very dark. I can name 10 movies that I've watched recently and have wasted my time. This WASN'T one of them.

    Evil little psychological thriller.
