Featured reviews
The filmmaker takes an intriguing idea and basically turns it into a fetishization of a sick man luring teenage women online, and turning them into blonde cheerleaders. Think of it as a cult, as they each are required to use the name Sadie and abide by a strict set of rules and customs.
There was a similar Lifetime TV movie named Kept Woman that I saw awhile back which was truly watchable and exciting. In that movie we saw how the perpetrator was able to put on a facade on everyone. Incorporating the outside perspective (such as seeing how Brad is able to keep these women hidden or seeing how Chelsea's family is dealing with her being gone) would have helped keep things fresh.
The pacing was my biggest problem here - I never felt a rush of thrills or any reason to keep watching. The first 20 minutes were make or break for me- I almost turned it off.

It had this creepy dollhouse-like atmosphere.
The story was pretty basic but passable.
Endless "I would have just done XYZ" situations, typical characters making nonsense decisions. I don't mind this so much in horror though because I almost feel like it's part of the fun of bad horror movies.
Overall I wouldn't really recommend it but it was ok as a one time watch. Your not missing anything if you don't see it though.

I'll be honest, I only watched this movie because of some reviews mentioning this terrible dollar store wig. I just had to see for myself!
It was a just okay movie, I have most definitely seen way worse. It won't win any awards for acting or screenplay but it was fine. Watch it if you cant find anything else to watch, it'll keep you entertained for a little. It kinda feels like a lifetime movie honestly. Very predictable, no shocks or twists and turns.
Yeah not much more to say, they really have a minimum amount of characters you have to type for a review so I'm just trying to reach it! So uh yeah.

The movie was doing fine up until around the 30 minute mark where our lead actress dyes her hair and now she's wearing this ridiculous blonde wig the rest of the film. It looked like something a child would wear at a kid's museum and I had to shut it off. Way to ruin a good movie.
Let's just face it - it's simply not good. The thing that bothered me the most was the acting itself (which basically carries the movie, lol) from everyone. I did not believe a single person in there. Not the girls, not the villain, not anyone. I did not believe girl were actually scared. I did not believe villains performance (it looked like the guy HAD to make this movie, for cash purposes only, not because he actually believed in that character and wanted to express it).
I know this movie was supposed to show us how often, and on which ways, young girls are being kidnapped, through a teen horror movie. But it failed. It was actually a good story, but did not deliver what was supposed to. Maybe if it was a higher budget movie, and if they hired more experienced actors...it would be good. But... here we are.
On the plus side, I'll give them one thing - I've seen mother and father issues, but never sister issues from mans point of view. Like I said, it could of been great.
I don't recommend it, but if you want to kill and hour and a half... go for it.
