Umm, no?

Honestly, I don't think this film was that bad, but it wasn't that good either.

The only reason I'm giving this a 6 is because the crazy boyfriend was great and the daughter was hot. Otherwise, this film could've been a lot better than it was, starting with the writing and pacing.

I'm at loss here...

How is this film got such a high rating ?

That was a reason I've watched it in a first place...The story is boring , the audio effects are atrocious , acting is ridiculous , long shots about nothing...Highly not recommended !

A PRETTY STINKER...

I'm giving this a 6 only because of the acting of the cast, especially the crazy boyfriend he was so awesome in this. It was also shot reasonably well for a low budget.

Otherwise, a big old stinker of a film that isn't even a horror...

First half is slow and tedious, second half is good.

A rich author with broken jaw that's wired shut gets a visit from his estranged daughter who harbours a grudge about past fatherly failings.

Dad can't speak because of his jaw so there's not much conversation going on making the first half of the film rather tedious.

Add a psycho boyfriend to the second half and things pick up - they don't pick up enough to make this a good film but enough to save it from being a poor film.

better thriller than I thought it would be

This was a better thriller than I thought it would be. Assuming from the description I thought it would just be another man alone in the house gets robbed movie, but no it was more whilst also being a bit of that. The fact of there only being three cast members helped me see each performance and learn who those characters were easier. Getting near the end of the film it almost turned into an expressive art piece of sorts with emmys boyfriend going into what seemed like madness. Altogether a pretty good thriller.
