Bad Girl

Pretty good movie. It had its ups and downs but overall its pretty good. Well, its better than all the horror/thriller remakes that hollywood's been putting out. Samara Weaving did a great job portraying her character , i really wished there were some backstory to her character but overall she did a great job.

The movie seems all-over-the-place and forced in every way. Bad characterization, bad script, bad acting (except Samara Weaving).

This is one of those flicks you would not want to pay to see, but for free if you can't sleep one night and there are no commercial interruptions... maybe. Always hard to create horror comedy as this one clearly shows. Even so I was not kicking myself at the end for 1 1/2 hours totally wasted. Don't watch or refuse to watch because of an alleged "gay" angle. There is NO real angle to this, just somewhat tolerable entertainment. Mainly I just found myself enjoying Weaving, though there was nothing noteworthy about her character or performance. Is there anything great or even good in this entire endeavor? Not really, but I still found myself mildly entertained on a sleepless night at 3 am. Can't claim I was totally coherent, but not under the influence of anything other than natural grogginess.

This movie lost the plot. It seem like the writers had a 100 different ideas for the climax for this film. The writers couldn't decide which idea to go with, so they decided to throw them all out there to see which one sticks. What happened was truly an insult to my intelligence. The last half of the film is stunningly stupid with all the characters making one monumental error after another. I basically thought that they all deserve what happens to them.

I do have to say that the first half of the film wasn't too bad. I did like the premise of the bad, party girl meeting her match with the psychotic girl turning up the trouble making ways to a whole another degree. It made me realize how innocent the party girl basically is and I was able to sympathize with her. That is a positive. I do think both girls in this film did a good job in their portrayals. This script was badly botched and not even decent acting from the two actresses could save this film. I will give this film a 3/10 rating.

I saw this film at the 'Roze Filmdagen'; the Amsterdam LGBTQ film festival. To be honest, it wasn't my first choice. As a gay man I'd rather seen a gay men's story...

But I was positively surprised by the quality of this film. All the production-work, all of the art-direction and all the camera-work are just great. And I really enjoyed the acting of especially Samara Weaving and Sara West, the two main actors, who put down a very involving performance. I guess the story isn't spectacularly inventive, but within it's genre it's a nice piece of work that kept me in suspense during the whole movie.
