Crush

I really liked this movie. The acting wasn't campy or over the top. It was respectful and didn't contain a lot of vulgarity or foul language, and it had a nice plot twist. It's worth watching.

This was better than I had expected. You start out thinking you know exactly what's gonna happen - girl crushes on boy, boy's girlfriend gets hurt, boy gets hurt, etc.... But.....

I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. It is very effective in creating a suspenseful thriller vibe. Throughout the entire movie you will be continually guessing who the crazy one is. Or maybe it's not as simple as that. One thing I know for sure is that apparently it sucks to be the school sports star.

The movie is full of talented young actors who have lots of potential and manage to shine in a low budget film. They have put everything into their characters that it feels completely plausible. It's creepy to think that this sort of situation hasn't happened more often.

If you have considered watching this movie then take the plunge. It is totally worth it.

When I first came to check this film out I did it quickly, skimmed over the names etc. and then just hit play. It wasn't till afterward that I did further investigation that I realized that the director for this film was Malik Bader, the crafty actor/director behind the making of one of the most clever & original films I've seen Street Thief(2006). Crush is, in terms of genre & plot, a completely different animal and Bader handled it masterfully. If you're thinking Crush is the average teen obsession film your wrong.

The new girl in town Bess(Crystal Reed) develops an unhealthy fixation on popular star athlete Scott(Lucas Till). Only Scott's attention is towards his long time friend Jules(Sarah Bolger). As Bess becomes more & more drawn to Scott terribly things begin to happen around him. If you're thinking of this as familiar & predictable I can guarantee you will be dead wrong on that assumption. This film will pull the rug from beneath you with a turn of events you will not see coming. Everything here seems to be in order, the story, acting, soundtrack and camera-work. I was indeed glad I had made the choice to check this out, with no reviews & little votes it was a nice surprise. Recommend it highly -^-8/10-^-

I was suspicious at first, but it was quite good actually.

The acting of Bess was excellent!
