Featured reviews
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.
I love a good psychotic neighbor movie - but this one is a train wreck.
There is SO much not to like here especially the pathetic acting. It's almost worth watching this movie just to see what bad acting really is.
One hint to the "actors": when you are being tortured please pretend that you are in pain.
On a positive note (the only positive note) the blood and gore was well done (especially for a low budget B movie) and is the only redeeming quality of this movie. Unfortunately that's not nearly enough to justify watching this.
And forget the good reviews - if you are unfortunate enough to watch this - you will know they are BS.

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.

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
