Clevercell Very disappointing...

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

mojoguzzi-879-68498 I'm tempted to call this film "neo-Hitchcockian" but Hitchcock purists would no doubt scream bloody murder. Let's just say it is masterfully directed from a tight and well-developed screenplay, with top of the line production values in every department.Screenwriter Anthony Jaswinski (Vanishing on 7th Street, The Shallows) hit the nail perfectly on the head, creating a believable character in extraordinary circumstances who acts like any smart person would do, not like the dummies that usually populate films in this genre.Combining naturalistic acting with deftly staged action and beautiful lighting, director Olly Blackburn proves that high style doesn't have to preclude substance. He builds the main character beautifully, through a few brief interactions and a non-verbal montage that completes our image of who this girl is.Then the suspense begins, in teasing drips and drabs that shift gear at just the right moment and speed.The casting is spot on and the cinematography could not be better. Horror directors planning to shoot night scenes in darkness should watch this film for pointers on how to do it right. The music is another delight. Both the score and the handful of songs are fresh and contribute precisely to the film's tone.

cmovies-99674 PROS: A good part about the movie was the idea as a whole. The way the scenes were set up allowed for a great amount of fear and horror. The script also allowed for the main character to be resilient, not just for the sake of the movie, but just in general. There was nothing that happened that couldn't actually happen. Although this made the movie very readable, it didn't take away from the fear that it naturally would instill. A movie with a strong, independent, female lead will always be a fun watch!CONS: The most aggravating part of the movie was the ending. There was so much more that could have been developed, but it just got cut short. I got quite frustrated at this fact because the movie lacked a lot of substance during the actual process, therefore I relayed heavily on the ending to give me that extra umph to propel the film. Another part that could have been improved was the acting. For some reason all the actors felt very stagnant. The main female character had pretty much two factions to her acting, 1. CONFUSION, and 2. BADA** MODE. Which are two good characteristics, but not the only things you need to be the star of a film. The final things that got me really angry was the fact that the main villains always found a way to find the main girl. It is an entire freaking college, and somehow they always found a way to find the girl. This gave the film a rather unbelievable factor.www.chorror.com

pixee_styx The intro gives us the gist of what the story is about: a clan hunting down a certain type of female, murdering them, and posting it online. I have seen dozens of films where the main character is the prey and must strengthen to overcome the predator. That is what I expected with Kristy, but this is no typical cat and mouse story. Justine, our main character, is shown early on to be intelligent (her caution of not wanting to go into the dark area alone, her immediate difference toward Violet) and tough (not wanting to make a fuss about being alone for Thanksgiving, being wary of letting her guard down and say the big L word to her boyfriend). They let us know she was at school on scholarship and had no car--which is why her roommate left her hers--which is a good indication she didn't have money. So we know right away that she is not really a 'Kristy', yet Violet mistakes her for one because she sees a pretty girl with a nice car that goes to a great school. it takes a while for Justine to officially fight back, because most sane people don't think to attack back, but when she realizes she has no choice, she goes all in. The tension is high and the kills are brilliant. Definitely worth a second viewing.

neko1962 "The Strangers" meet the university (student), except it was better than The Strangers. The Strangers was a bit of a downer juxtaposing chance and violence. They pick you and you die. True, while unsystematic random violence is to be feared it can hardly stand alone as dominant story-telling. Yea need a reason. 'WE' need a reason. This movie....Kristy.... provides that reason by means of meager, yet plausible, cultism. The first half of the movie is good scary stuff, the back half.............an action film. Run for your life kind of mania. But I nevertheless enjoyed it for some strange reason. Her expression perhaps.....................I'm not sure exactly, but i believe that was it. She was very convincing.
