UnowPriceless hyped garbage

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Alice O'Gorman It seems as if you will be watching a suspenseful horror film. Sadly, you will be mistaken.While I would watch a movie about rape-and-revenge, I would prefer it if it was made obvious in the description, instead of some nonsense about a curse.I expected some weird coming across a graveyard or some Indian burial ground stuff (that they mention at the beginning, by the way), with some vengeance being taken out and her friends picked off.Well, the last part was vaguely true.I'm sorry, but this is the biggest example of false advertising I have seen since 'Bridge to Terabithia' (2007). Was there more than one writer, in separate rooms, doing this and hoping the other person would come up with a similar premise? It seems like that.As stated above, I like the idea of a teenage girl deciding to get revenge on the lustful, vain jock who tried to rape her. But I don't appreciate disguising it as a horror movie.The ending is just so bizarre and out of the blue that I can't wrap my head around it. It made even less sense than ever at this point.Let me summarize by saying that if the movie had been truthful from the start, I would have given it about 5 stars. I would have preferred a story about a teenage girl escaping a curse, but the only horror is how you feel when you realize what the story really is.

Alexander Gustav This movie had potential, but this potential was murdered by the curse of incoherence, such as countless other potentials in countless other movies. The story starts out well, and then you wait for something to happen, and you wait some more, but nothing really happens. At the end, your brain tells you that things make sense, but they really don't, the ending would be suitable for another movie. The acting is below average, the lead actress is cold and distant, which makes it hard to identify with her. The "villain" is weak and unconvincing, and Tom Arnold, well, i have no idea what he's doing in this movie taking this role. The directing is promising, maybe if the director makes another attempt with a better script, he would probably avoid falling for the curse of incoherence. I don't recommend this film to anyone, unless they want to study it as an example of faulty filmmaking.

FlashCallahan Chrissie's last week of high-school in Downers Grove, is a paranoid trip through a small Midwestern town gripped by a 'curse' that claims the life of one high school senior every year. With only five days to graduation, Chrissie is beginning to wonder if she will be the next victim of the Curse of Downers Grove.........Bret Easton Ellis was something of a wonder in the eighties. His novel American Psycho, is a modern masterpiece, and the film is one of the greatest movies ever made. It seemed that anything he written that was set in the eighties, was, for the lack of a better word, acceptable, even Less Than Zero.Even The Informers...But then he had a helping hand in last years The Canyons, one of the worst films of 2014, and now this, which is beyond bizarre.Remember that Mark Wahlberg film made in 1996 called Fear? Well imagine that film, without any style or flamboyance, but it's set on an old ancient Indian burial ground, that supposedly releases a curse every year......So our heroine is almost assaulted by the recognisable teen in the film, she almost pokes his eye out, and he goes nuts, or does he?And then if it couldn't get anymore bizarre, Tom Arnold turns up as an abusive father, Supergirl from 1984 proves she's still around, and there's the always nerdy best friend who is giving her the wrong advice.......or is he?Add a cut price Heath Ledger as the wannabe boyfriend, and you are left with a below average film, form a once great literary genius, with a twist ending that makes no sense whatsoever........Or does it?

Eagles409 First, let me start by saying the only reason I watched this movie is due to the fact that I grew up in the town next to Downers Grove, IL. I've spent a lot of time in Downers Grove and was excited to see a movie with a local connection. That being said, I don't think anyone involved with the movie has ever set foot anywhere near Downers Grove. I know that's a bit nit picky, but since that's one of the main reasons I watched the film, it irritated me. Second, there is no curse of Downers Grove, so the "true story" angle is nonsense. On to the actual film. The film is about a goody two shoes girl Chrissie (Bella Heathcoate) who is in to studying, religion and her family and her sort of slutty friend. The two attend a party together and a football player attempts to rape Chrissie. During her struggle to get away, she pokes his eye out and he loses his ability to play football. The rest of the movie is him stalking her and her family and boyfriend. This isn't really a horror movie at all, it's a revenge flick with some semi graphic death scenes. The ending didn't really make any sense and seemed to be tacked on to just to make the title be true. On a positive note, it's a very short movie. The acting is overall pretty decent and Bella Heathcoate isn't difficult to look at, but overall I wouldn't waste your time checking this out.
