Not worth it
Samara Weaving is a delight to watch. She's let down by a bad script and direction that is tonally all over the place. Ray Nicholson is campy and over the top, so if that's your thing you're in luck. He's too zany to ever be truly threatening. The characters behave in irrational ways just to make the plot happen. It's quirky and off beat but none of the humor really lands (the funniest bits are Ms. Weavings facial expressions to the craziness around her). The only reason this was set in the '90s is tonget around the ubiquity of cell phones. I'm not sure the movie knows what it's supposed to be and just ends up being a muddled mess. The film was competently shot and does look good.
