I walked into this never hearing about it before and not knowing what it was. At first I thought it was like single white female. Then as the film went on I was surprised, little gore, little cussing, more like a good suspense. The story telling was good, no matter what some might say, I thought it was a good story. This girl seemed to never really go further than the edge, making threats, hurting people, but never to the point of murder. That is what I saw and to me that build up is what is lacking in movies today. They want to show everything from the past to the present and show blood and gore and sex. It was refreshing to see an old style movie with new actors. By the end of the movie it was sit on the edge of my seat and yell at the screen, "Look out behind you" I have not yelled at the movie screen in a long time. Thats what movies are for. I give this film two thumbs up and rate it an 8 out of 10. I would like to see more films like this. I miss old Hollywood.
