Wonderful character development!
Waste of time
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Wow it's ironic since this movie has been out for awhile I think that someone else JUST reviewed it a couple days ago.Anyways, I watched this movie simply because it has Nick Stahl, for the record.The movie was ridiculous. The characters drove me INSANE, they were SO Cliché and STEREOTYPED. This movie had some of the worst dialogue I have ever heard. It had way too many plot twists too.There is ONE scene in the movie worth seeing however, the scene: "Warm heart, cold gun" where Nick Stahl kills the obnoxious girl in the shower. (Well, actually they were all obnoxious.) But his acting in that scene was excellent. The look on his face, it reminded my of American Psycho (a good movie). The scene is worth seeing but not worth seeing the rest of the movie for, do yourself a favor and don't watch it.
Did everyone else here see the same movie I did? I bought the DVD the other day because I'm a huge Eddie Kaye Thomas fan (I thought he stole all three American Pies) and slightly obsessed with Amber Benson (I still miss Buffy!), and I was not let down. In fact I thought it was one of Eddie's stronger performances, and an all-around really good movie. If I had one complaint, it's about the DVD. Where are the extras? I know I shouldn't expect as much from a film that was obviously made pretty cheaply, but I would have expected something more tha JUST the movie. So while I'm going to give the movie a nine (the rest of you are just plain WRONG), I'm only going to give the DVD a five.
Some bad kids (in more ways than one!) settle their behavioral problems in a creepy old house on a stormy night. Trite. Goofy and uneven, to say the least, but there's no excuse for the omission of gratuitous sex and violence in a trash flick like this, which is supposedly aimed at the youth market. Unattractive.
Don't waste your time or money on this one. The half decent cast might fool you into thinking that this teen-thriller, whilst hardly about to break any records, might lightly entertain for 80 minutes.It won't.It won't make you scared, laugh, cry or even challenge your intellect. It will leave you wondering how on earth this movie ever finished production. Yes, it really is that poor.
