Insidie nell'ombra

Teen-age crime film that blends a very confusing plot with the classic banality of teen movies in a tremendous way. In general we can say that the film is entertaining because it is just like that, the film is quite entertaining because the detective part is so confused as to be tremendously interesting because you want to understand how the film can end and how they will get out of this inextricable ball of holes and inconsistencies , pity that the ending is very linear and done well, a pity because for coherence also the ending had to be confused and full of holes so as to crown a terrible film in a terrible way, instead the ending is linear and this is even worse because they could do a less confusing and sufficient film instead they wanted to overdo it and failed.

Sadie and Jack are dating in high school but she ends up breaking up with him and he doesn't take it well. So, she ends up at a party where she meets a bad boy named Gavin who is harboring a scandalous secret. What is it? You'll have to watch to find and this one did not leave me disappointed. Definitely recommend!

It's really hard to describe this film, to put into words the utter shambles of story, acting, direction and editing. I don't think the actors had any idea of what the story is (if indeed there was one) and what their characters role was in it. It's a random collection of almost unrelated segments put to a sound track that again would suggest those creating it had no idea what movie it was for. I've given this a 2 which on reflection is over generous.

The questions remain what is it and why did they make it - who funded it and for what purpose - why did the actors take part in it - what in the excuse for a script attracted them to it?

I am sure the directors wanted to build suspense and drama- but all they did was create a confusing mess that cannot be followed. Too many dark (not dark spooky but dark to the point you could not see) scenes, too many rapid changes from scene to scene.

Add to that a 'heroine' that violates three of our top ten pieces of advice for Lifetime Movie women.

Expected more in 2022.
