Not So Good

I actually watched the entire movie, not sure why. It was slow-moving, bad acting, and really not that interesting. The Stepfather, which is based on the same killer, is much better. The only thing that saved this movie was the music at the end while the credits rolled by.

So bad I was checking Instagram during the climax.

Terrible. Rear Window is my favorite thriller and What Lies Beneath is a close second. Those are solid movies.

This one, however, simply dropped the ball. They could have had so many more suspenseful moments! Also, if you lack appreciation for sacrilegious attributes in a murderer, definitely skip it!

Billy Jack? Is that you?

The last time I saw acting this bad was in 1971 while watching the now cult classic, BILLY JACK. Ironically, this crime by John List also took place in 1971. Was this film directed in such a manner to pay homage to this era?

Oh my god, how horrible can acting get.

Besides being a complete derivative copy of The Stepfather, which is very good, this is just pure trash. I am absolutely astonished that any movie company would produce this garbage. Where did they find these actors? I was embarrassed for them while I watched this atrocious garbage.

Not even close

If you know the John List story you will hate this. Not a good representation of the true story. Why skip 18 years?
