Watchable and Absorbing

I was ready for some bat *beep* *beep* but what I got was a cross between a french thriller meets a 90's thriller ala Hands That Rock The Cradle but mellow. Yes the ending was eff'ed up but the last 30 mins could have been really scary and edge of your seat freaky. It did not reach those boiling points but it was a decent watch never the less.

The trailer made it look really crazy though. Good acting and direction all around. I love these kind of movies. Hollywood needs to bring more of this stuff back * Single White Female, Fatal Attraction, Poison Ivy * There is nothing guiltier then watching psycho female gone nuts thrillers! I am waiting for the inevitable American remake starring Greg Kinnear & Claire Danes as the husband and wife who live upstairs. Seriously that would be some on point casting right there yo!👍

I agree. This movie had my attention the whole time. I had no idea whether what she was seeing was real or if she was going through some serious PPD *beep* The ending was also a huge punch in the gut. I didn't mind the final twist, but at the same time, it would have had more of an impact had it NOT had the final twist.

And in this moment, I swear we are infinite.

Saying that there's a twist is a spoiler. We now will be expecting a twist and trying to figure it out, etc.

I repeat: saying that there's a twist is a spoiler. The OP should put "spoiler" in the title or you should use twist shadow.

True Self is righteous. It's a conspiracy to portray Man as a savage that needs taming and policing.
