Girl at the Window

How was this film made? Genuinely. This is easily one of the most atrociously written/acted/directed/edited films I've ever seen in my life. My first year film school films were Oscar worthy in comparison. We're all usually forgiving with horrors, but this is honestly so awful I was crying with laughter in my screening. Anyone who worked on this film should be really embarassed. But hey, least it's reassuring to know we can all write films if garbage like this can pass all the checks.

In a word - bad. I won't dedicate much time to reviewing a project this bad. Radha Mitchell has made some great films, but she is only a supporting role here. The lead actress is good, but you can only do so much with a terrible script. The villain is a terrible actor, but not as terrible as whoever was in charge of the post-production. The sometimes inappropriate and always overbearing mood music will drive most viewers crazy. Altogether, this isn't just bad - it's multi-dimensionally bad. I removed it from my collection.

Total RealReview Rating: 2.

I don't even want to waste a review on it, it's that bad, but I suppose I have to write at least 600 chracters here for me to be allowed to post the review. Honestly, I'm writing this so no one else will have to waste an hour and a half of their lives on this movie. It feels like a C grade murder flick from the 70s (though that era also gave us some excellent films). The plot is silly and has no logic, the situations are contrived, the performances are mediocre. The makeup and gore are a bit laughable, and the characters are halfbaked. Hard to believe such bad films are still being made in 2022.

I have no words to describe what just happened! 90 minutes wasted! This movie is so so so so bad! I am trying to think of a way to provide constructive feedback but I just can't! It is just really, really, I mean reeeeeally bad!

I definitely recommend you watching the other movie you were indecisive on! Go back to the home page and choose a different movie! I wish I had done just that!

Oh, and the scene she grabs a knife and it's dark and then runs to the house next door, it is literally next door (it would've taken her 2 minutes tops) and, all of a sudden, is daylight. I mean, WHAT?! Why?! How do people get away with this?

I would love to know how much money was spent on it! It is just a waste! Waste of money and waste of people's time!

Ahhhh, rant is over! I feel better now! Oh no, wait.... This movie is really BAD! .... Now I'm done!

Well here we go. You have a young girl traumatized by her dad's death. After a move from the city with her mom the daughter suspects her moms new boyfriend is responsible for her classmates disappearances and murders. So acting like a detective she sets out to prove who's behind the murders. When finished with this movie I was debating about what score to give it and it was between 5-6. Well needless to say I didn't hate the movie but it wasn't great either. Some of the music choices were definitely questionable. The chemistry between the mom and daughter was good. Overall this was a nice attempt for a slasher flick. As far as a recommendation I'd say yeah give a go. The kills were good.
