Oof... where to begin. I wanted to watch because I am a sucker for the 'stalker' genre and I saw Cameron Monaghan has a leading role. I loved him in Gotham so I hoped he'd be given a new opportunity to showcase his talents... a nice 'could have'. [spoiler] So because I saw him as Jerome (the Joker) in Gotham I initially believed he'd be the stalker, the villain of this movie but as soon as Sky and Chris meet in the supermarket I knew this wouldn't be another crazy character for him. Sky had the psycho eyes right of the bat so I said out loud to my husband 'I wonder if _she_ is the villain?' and she was. [/spoiler]
This movie lacked intensity. I've seen a bunch of movies in this specific genre and while lots are considered B-movies I would rate this far far below that. Characters where predictable and flat. The motive is mediocre, overdone and if they where to go with an obvious plot I'd preferred the actual stalker- crush arc. (sidenote: the movie aired under the name 'Crush' in The Netherlands so I expected it to be going in that direction somehow).
[spoiler] Sky is obviously insane. They gave us just enough backstory to understand how she came to be and then in the end try to switch it up by making us believe she 'felt' something for Chris. Very out of character considering the amounts of torture she put him through. And about that torture... I feel like the makers of this movie decided to throw in some gore just for the sake of it. There was no need to show Lisa in that tub naked and bloody... Plus the intense overkill on Ronald, we get it... the girl is crazy. So again the end was very out of character! [/spoiler]
I'm just very disappointed in this movie. I knew fairly early on that I was going to be disappointed but I hoped that maybe it would lead somewhere... it didn't. Don't waste your time unless you feel like punishing yourself.
One last thing, where did they find Lilly Krug? If they cast Sky differently maybe - just maybe - this could've been a tad bit better.
