OK good points......the lead is a stunner as she is in every film she has been in thus far.
OK thats the good points done with now lets discuss the film. The movie has no storyline and is basically just a torture movie, she toys with her prey with all manner of unpleasant tools including a very nasty scene involving a single nail......don't ask.
Alas the movie has no upsides and is deeply disturbing and made me extremely uncomfortable. I cant really recommend this to anybody beyond those who are into torture films or those looking for something very very alternative.

The Story A woman (Olivo) has made a full-time hobby of talking her way into homes, conking people over the head and, when they wake up, finding creative ways to torture them to death, smiling and chatting most of the way. She finds it all quite amusing. Don Carpenter's house (with conveniently soundproofed home recording studio) is her next stop.
The scenes in which The Girl charms people into trusting her are tense and at the same time clever, as are the scenes where delusion is juxtaposed against reality (movie reality, anyway), and we aren't sure which is which. However The Girl reserves most of her creativity for her torture sessions, in which she improvises with staples, nails, glass stirrers, and too many other implements to remember. You'll want to grab The Girl by the shoulders and ask "why?," long before the question occurs to Don. If you haven't yet been desensitized to movie violence, this movie will either do the job or give you nightmares.
Why you should see it: You're getting numb to movie gore, and you're watching 365 movies this year, so you ain't picky.
Why you shouldn't see it: The Girl is one movie monster who stops being fun to watch before long, and the glass swizzle-stick scene is an ordeal even if you're used to horror movies.

This movie is obviously being targeted in classic IBMD shill fashion( making 5-6 sock puppet accounts and trashing it) If you go through all the 1 star reviews they're all made by the same user on 1 review accounts. While this movie isn't anything too great it doesn't deserve to be called the "Worst movie ever" yadda yadda yadda. Believe me its far from the worst movie ever..
My only real problem with the movie was the main psycho girl's acting, which was simply bad when she was trying to come off crazy or torturing her victims. She did fine when she was acting normal, but the crazy act was just hard to buy and came off kind of silly at times. Not in a good way either. The rest of the movie and all involved weren't too bad, the script and the film definitely needed much more, but were worth a watch nonetheless.
5 out of 10 stars is an honest review here. Pretty forgettable, but will pass the time.

The only reason for continuing to watch this flick is America. Her part was seductive and I wanted to see what happened next. I watched the movie in fast forward because it was soo slow. I had closed captioning on so I could listen and watch what happened, I just could not stand to take the time to see it! I am looking the main actress up because I think she has a chance at making it. The second main character looks a lot like Ryan Reynolds the second reason I decided to check out IMDb.com.
Many of the scenes were bloody and fake looking. I understand this is an independent film, I just think the producer/director needed to fill more time to make it last 123 minutes If you like movies in AZ check out valleymoviegroup

Matched by the terrible effects and acting of the worst movie you can see, the plot of this movie was awful and made no sense what so ever. I laughed at this movie the entire time, and it wasn't meant to be funny. This movie contained the worst acting I've ever seen, and the worst attempt at special effects that I've ever had to endure, trying not laugh the whole time. I do not recommend that anybody should watch this movie, unless you want to see an atrocious story plot filled with bad acting. I don't know why this movie got anything higher than a 1, but it doesn't deserve anything higher. Anybody who liked this movie, are people that don't know a real movie from a pathetic excuse to call a movie. This movie to me, will be the worst movie I've ever seen. But i haven't seen M. Night Shyamalan's The last Airbender yet so it probably wont be for very long.
