This movie kept me wondering what was going to happen. It was a nice pace. I also think it was very realistic. Definitely worth the watch.
A solid entry to the suspense , psychological, horror found footage genre. Personally thought there was seeds planted earlier in the film that could of took it down a different route, which may of improved the over all movie and mystery. But the ever changing conflict and complex relationship on a tight rope pulling between love and hate is really the core of the movie and where it stands out, it's well enough acted to be convincing and it chugs along at a nice pace to keep you engaged
There is movies out there with similar concepts done better, perhaps not in this style, but I well recommend this movie nonetheless.
I like completely understand what the writers and actors were trying to portray, and initially they succeed. It was intriguing at first but unfortunately it collapsed under it's own weight, until both actors are left hamming it up and overacting towards the end, and it resembles a soap opera. This will obviously be compared to we need to talk about Kevin, which was a searing and exquisitely executed film about troubled teens and their parents. As a result this ends up looking like a copy of a copy of a copy. There were glaring inconsistencies in the characters behaviours, and although were supposed to be questioning if the kid is capable of murder or not, I found his "teen speak" ("snooze fest" "ain't gonna fly") embarrassing, as teenagers don't talk like that, and his portrayal of a "dangerous" teenager laughable and distracting. I've given it 6 because the production and editing were pretty good for a budget movie.
Pretty good movie that leaves you guessing all the way til the end. Definitely worth the watch. Wasn't expecting much, but got a lot more. Didn't add much to the genre, but kept me very entertained throughout. I'd give it a shot.
Nice little potboiler with great direction and interesting performances. With all the choices and platforms out there now its a nice little rush when i come across something that grabs my attention and holds it. Id love to see more from this director. Give it a watch, it really pays off!
