    Made for tv movie

    Suffering from acute anxiety, young Miranda faces a new terror when a serial killer chooses her as his next target. As he chases her through the woods, she soon finds the strength she never knew she had to elude her murderous tracker. This was like a channel 5 made for tv movie but with lots of killing. The acting was so bad it was quite enjoyable. Lots of action. A daughter who looked older than her mother. A pregnant mum whose. Prosthetic pregnancy bump Would often turn to a square. Even though cringy annd embarrassing I watched it all. Action from the very start.

    The dialogue was Long, pointless and laughable. There was little tension. Incompetent police officers incompetent script.

    It all makes sense...

    Why is J. K. Simmons, a respected and renowned actor, in this pile of cr@p movie? Does he owe back taxes or something? I wondered as I watched this. It turns out it's because his wife wrote and directed the movie. It was nice to at least make sense of that. The acting is horrible, and it's evident almost immediately. To be fair, I really can't tell if it's the fault of the actors or the rigid and horrible dialogue but its likely both. Top it off with comically miscasted police officers who looking like they are in middle school and have the acting chops to match and the end result is a movie that will have you cringing the whole way through.

    A boring cat and mouse game with random acts of violence ft. J.K. Simmons

    I think the movie's cover looked pretty good and you can obviously tell that it is J. K. Simmons on there and since he is a phenomenal actor and I really love horror movies, I thought I would give this a try. Obviously I saw the bad rating and lowered my expectations a lot but wow.... this was not good. The movie is way too random and the characters decisions and thoughts are not logical or clear. Of course the only interesting character was the one of JK Simmons but not even he could play the role in a way that would make his character unique or special in some way. It's a boring Cat and Mouse game with a few random acts of violence and that's just not enough to entertain for a feature length movie. There were a few scenes that had at least a little bit of entertaining value but overall you could definitely skip this one without having regrets. [4,8/10]

    How do films like this get made?

    I'm not a professional. I didn't go to movie school. I didn't get a degree in script writing. But I can tell this movie is absolutely terrible, and it amazes me that it managed to get made in the first place. How... HOW? If you gave me this script to read I would tell you 100 things wrong with it ... and that's from me, someone with absolutely zero experience in movie making, so how do these so called professionals manage to mess it up so badly. How can they not see how bad it is on paper, how bad the story is, how bad the obvious plot holes are? How how HOW? What a waste of time, money snd effott.

    Decent low budgeter, J.K. Simmons elevates it to watchable

    It's a thriller/horror with a psycho (J. K. Simmons) on the loose. A girl gets into his crosshairs and she is the other main character. The story is simple, there is violence and one pretty disturbing scene where not everything is shown but made me kinda sick.

    I assume J. K. Simmons is in this due to his wife being the writer/director, he is obviously a notch above other actors.

    There is a subplot involving dealing with trauma but the movie doesn't explore it too deeply.

    The refreshing part is that the police are incompetent and cowardly just like in real life, instead of the usual glorification.
