Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Chxface Please do not waste 1 1/2 hours of your life on this crappy flick. Acting was atrocious, script was lame and the overall execution of the movie could have been better if it was made by high school kids.
Wim Knows I went into this movie with fairly low expectations, but in the end I was left extremely disappointed.The build up of this movie was slow but thanks to the acting it kept me interested. It's a recognisable situation, family gets new neighbours & don't know if they're trustworthy. We all worry who our kids play with at some point. During the movie you're left wondering who's to trust and who's not. So far, an OK movie experience. The slow build up made me look forward to the ending, in suspense. Then comes the plot. Which is so incredibly weak & not answering many questions -if any- that left me feeling i wasted my time. Personally I absolutely can't stand movies to end with this many unanswered questions. It feels as though the writer had some good ideas for a story but was suddenly out of inspiration when it came to the end. Also, some things are just not realistic. Without giving any spoilers away, the apparent ease at which an APB is warranted left me astonished. There's plenty of stuff in the last part of the movie that had me scratching my head, which I can't get into without giving spoilers away. I'm sure you'll know what I mean when you've seen it.Huge disappointment for me this one. 2/10.
essem I only watched this because I like Richard Ruccolo, who plays the dad. The dude is capable of much more than the suburban husband role he's stuck in here (and in Rita Rocks, although that was enjoyable). At least he showed physical courage when it was called for; that was nice to see.I can't tell whether my response to the drawn out slow plot was, as likely intended, anxiety or, more likely, annoyance.The "nice" family's reactions to the new neighbors, once things start to get odder and odder, are completely non-credible. Bad script. People, even nice white people in the suburbs, don't let their niceness overcome their sense of danger when their only child is involved. Twas nice to see Mr Ruccolo, even here, but if he were not in the flick, I'd have turned it off after ten minutes.
ivegonemod I can't for the life of me figure out why I continued to watch this even after I knew for sure it was a waste of time. While I wouldn't actually say that it was ever going good, it wasn't all that bad for a little while. The female lead, I don't even remember her name was just so annoying! It seemed like she was looking for trouble most of the time, when there wasn't even any real reason to get so carried away. I hate characters who are just so convinced that that "know" something. Why did she keep allowing her daughter to play with Billy even when she was convinced the family was off? Billy as well as most of the characters were so one dimensional, I found myself unable to connect with or care about any of them, but the younger son just seemed to do things for no reason. The daughter would complain about him and go right back to playing with him with a smile on her face. I guess she didn't find his rough behavior all that odd, how many times did this girl have to get pushed? The whole scene with the guy stalking the house and then busting in and fighting with the husband was just stupid, the way the next scenes played out were even dumber. The detective was a total idiot, and the story was just awkward. Finally we learn that the older son is a nut bag, at this point I couldn't have cared one iota less. When he went from good guy to bad guy all we saw was a stupid sly grin on his face. That grin was so annoying. I wish everyone had been killed.
