    The teenagers feel somewhat underdeveloped, but the essence of MA's story ultimately comes through, making it hard not to root for her, even when things get a little silly.

    Octavia Spencer delivers in this film which has a nice twist, some funny moments, some wild moments and overall an enjoyable film. Definitely recommend it
  • Rating: 2 out of 5 stars
    Revenge plots are often very untouched and closely stitched and this is just another movie giving you nothing but wishing everyone suffered an unkind fate in the end. It all seems like an excuse to me.

    Not believable. And not very watchable.

    A good thriller. Clear and satisfying "teenage horror" atmosphere , unexpected and interesting plot and to top it all, some really descent acting. It is not the "best" movie ever, but it is definetaly worth watching.

    I really enjoyed this film, especially a few years ago

    It starts off with an interesting premise. The atmosphere becomes darker accordingly. But unfortunately everything seems to come apart in the final act. This is a common issue with scary films. Ending it well makes a huge difference, and this was a very clunky, very unsatisfying ending.

    This is movie where almost everything is unsuspected and not always in a good way. As a horror movie it really is unrealistic. The plot is boring.

    This feels like a missed opportunity because I think there is potential here for a truly memorable thriller/horror movie. We have an Oscar winning actress being given the chance to chew up some scenery, an attractive supporting cast and a plot that feels reminiscent of a Stephen King suspense yarn. Sadly, what begins promisingly soon devolves into an increasingly unbelievable and borderline laughable series of scenes that almost feel like AIRPLANE!-esque satire. I was rolling my eyes rather than covering them as the film drew to its climax. And that's a shame, because I truly think this could have really been something special. The effects of childhood trauma and how they scar the victim years and even decades later is a potentially fascinating backbone for a psychological thriller. Spencer starts out strong, but even she falls under the weight of the pretension here. The filmmakers drop the ball and, by the end, it feels like they're only goal is to try out-SAWing SAW.

    This movie is so bad! 95% of the acting is terrible! I was excited for this one but let down!
