Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
P J This movie might make want to never rent a Redbox movie that I had previously not heard of ever again. Being a low budget independent film, you can't have your expectations too high, but you would not expect a movie that could at least make it to Red Box to be this terrible. As you can tell by other reviews, yes there are a lot of bloody scenes that can be at times shocking. So if that is all you want and could care less about film quality, acting, or any sort of a plot whatsoever, be my guest. Honestly, a bunch of middle school kids letting their twisted imagination runs could have written that screenplay in about two hours.
christopher-underwood I'm not quite sure why some love to jump on a film like this. Maybe, the clever use of internet promotion backfires, maybe people are upset by the movie and get their own back, maybe because there are no big name stars, maybe just because they can. Anyway, I reckon, this little film that surely achieves everything it sets out to do, has been very unfairly dismissed. It is stylishly shot, with imaginative soundtrack and a furious pace that never lets up. The violence is believable and horrendous and once the thing starts to roll, (that is right at the beginning!) there is nothing to stop it. Well, and here's my only gripe, the lead guy should have tried a little harder to nip this in the bud. There were a couple of opportunities when as a viewer you feel like screaming at him for being so 'understanding', when, of course, he seems not to understand at all. In fairness to the film he is set up to be this type of guy, taking it from his girlfriend and boss but it would have been absolutely perfect if he'd shown a bit more muscle. This is not, however, to take away from this very powerful and effective thriller.
Scarecrow-88 Everyone's always nagging on old Ray. Working for a demanding boss in insurance, his woman constantly griping, Ray just drowns away in his booze, very unhappy with how his life has turned out. If he thought his life was complicated already, wait until he awakens in the bed of Tara(the next morning after recovering from a night of drink at a local bar), a hot young woman who moves in next to his place of employment. Tara seems sweet and innocent enough, but we will soon see that this girl has a dark side(get a load of her temper tantrum while calling places of employment with want ads in the paper, coming up short time and again). It's PLAY MISTY FOR ME with a low budget, a mentally unstable, but very attractive woman who doesn't handle rejection well(in her own fragile mind, the one night stand between Tara and Ray was more than that)and responds in kind. Like in other movies in the "psycho female stalker" genre, Tara won't leave Ray alone, and he can not avoid her. And, Maddy, Ray's gal, is in danger because she stands in Tara's way. Tara harasses Ray with excessive phone calls, wants to talk about "their relationship", and can not get a hint that he wants nothing(zip, zilch, zero)to do with her whatsoever. It's a slow process where she reduces him to a weakened shell, murdering his boss, implicating Ray by planting his semen on her. Ray must accompany Tara as they dispose of the dead body and this is a major contributor to his weary psychological state as he comes to realize that this demented lunatic may never cease to torment him. All hell eventually breaks loose as Tara starts brutalizing anyone associated with Ray, because she wants him all to herself. Natalie Dickinson is the psychopath, Tara, Henrik Norlén, her tortured obsession, Ray. Caitlan Wehrle is Maddy, Ray's fiancé, who is the cruel subject of Tara's rage, suffering mightily in a torture scene pretty difficult to watch, her fate quite tragic. Even Ray's little son isn't safe from this wacko. It's suggested that Tara was(and continues to be)sexually abused by her father. Tara's mother sits in an asylum, lost to the world around her, staring off into space. Tara likes to lobotomize her victims with a power drill, saw them into pieces, fitting the remains in suitcases for later dumping(in fact, Ray unknowingly helps Tara load a victim into the back of her truck when they first meet!). It's a cycle that repeats itself over and over and will continue until someone stops her. The most ridiculous aspect of the movie is how Tara cuts herself and takes repeated blows to the face, yet remains pretty and healthy despite such damage.
laughalt Here is the synopsis so you know what you're in for:Tara sets her sights on the unassuming guy-next-door, Ray, and their innocent flirting turns into a regretful one night stand. He is hoping to put the indiscretion safely behind him, but Tara makes it horrifically clear that she is more than willing to go to extremes to keep her man. Everyone that Ray cares about will pay for his reckless decision as they are all forced into a twisted game of love, torture, and death at the hands of sadistic Tara.Whow, this film is sure to give you a scare!!! I love horror flicks and this one definitely left me shaking and also craving more. The plot is engaging and keeps you interested in what's gonna happen next. The thriller and suspense are in place and are intensified by the excessive amount of bloodshed(which is not lacking,lol)If you love horror flicks then check your local retailer for this cool indie thriller.*Sponsored Post
