Typical teen garbage flick that was a waste of my time. I feel for those who spent $20 or more on a blu ray since $8 on a ticket at the theater was enough of a ripoff.

It's not a bad movie by any means. It's just a next to number Lifetime thriller or at least that's what it felt like. Jennifer Lawrence did great and Max was creepy as hell. I don't hate this as much as I used to, I'm just sick of people calling it original. If it was released in 1959 then sure, it's original.

I didn't find it boring. I liked the pacing and it's slow-burn aspect. But no doubt it was plain. It was generic polished horror popcorn that could only be considered "original" if released before 1960 and 1983.

I've seen it advertized on Lifetime at least once, so it has found it's place.

I didn't like it, but I didn't exactly hate it. It seems like the kind of thing that you would accidentally start watching on television. I probably wouldn't have disliked it as much if I had watched it on Lifetime and not in theaters.

I think this movie had a good idea in it but somehow in its execution it just didn't work for me.

Overall this one here is quite a bland and unworthwhile horror/thriller.

For the most part this one is really undone by the fact that hardly anything at all even occurs in this one for the majority of its running time. As the majority of this one centers heavily on the family drama between the two, from the mother's worry about her daughter's troubling-to-her behavior and the daughter's worry about trying to uncover the secret of his lonely and horrific past, this bland narrative stalls the film almost immediately by not only running such a clichéd and unappealing piece but doing it so that there's an incentive here to wind through these pieces solely for the benefit of the target audience only.

It's simply augmented only to make her the center of attention the whole time and make you side with her despite her mom being the clear-cut voice of reason and sanity, yet this one makes her out otherwise merely to feature her as often as possible. This results in plenty of lame non-horror thriller moments merely to try to make her seem as good-natured as possible rather than try to do anything with that storyline and it just feels too safe and clichéd enforcing these stereotypes.

As well, that cuts into the action so drastically with these absolutely banal and lame set-ups that there's very little action that would be considered enjoyable, featuring such wasted moments as the girl home alone in her house after the first escape and the attempted attack on the couple in the car which are both interrupted before either actually gets into big stalking territory which is a big missed opportunity to actually feature something of interest during the overlong and excruciating setup.

That also manages to hold itself back from the actual blood-and-gore set-up here with an absolutely minimal amount of bloody kills or gore, and it just all adds together into the film's overall watered-down feeling.

While these here hold it down, it does have enough good stuff here to make it somewhat watchable which is almost solely based on the final half- house here which is quite fun. Once it's full twist is finally unleashed and given out, there's a lot of fun here with him holding her captive and tied up in the house as it then turns into a somewhat enjoyable series of escape and recaptures that do get a little old but still have some solid action throughout.

The big battles down in the basement hiding room and then later on in the garage where there's plenty of good fun to be had with these few scenes offering up some rather enjoyable stalking. As well, the opening rampage does have some solid work for it with the basic elements of a stalking slasher working in quite fun ways Although these here are where it works, there's still some problems here.
Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?

Some people are like slinkies: not good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one falls down the stairs.
