I watched it right to the end 😭 Please don't waste any time on this. Netflix owes me 85 minutes of my life back.

If it is a teenagers school project it is a good effort but I'm paying for some decent viewing and Netflix is taking the absolute piss.

Bad acting. Picture and sound issues. Probably because of the low budget. Plot wasn't bad though. Watchable. I didn't stop half the way. Didn;t seem that I spended one and a half hour for nothing.

The movie was all but urban, very low quality and clearly made on low budget. Everything seemed to just happen so quickly yet so slowly (get what I mean?). It had an unusually dull mood and was quite predictable at times.

The 'horrific' moments seemed rather unconvincing and quite childish. Very simplistic. It doesn't get the viewer to fully understand and (perhaps) sympathize with the killer's actions.

It wasn't all bad though. In fact, overall the ideas were pretty good. I especially saw the ending quite interesting but still felt like it was one of those endings in which the director of the movie feels he/she failed viewers throughout the movie and decides to make up for it in the end.

It had a great environment and gave a feel of the regular neighborhood in England. However, ask me how I found this movie on a usual day, and the quickest answer I'd give you would probably come with the 'S' word.

Ok, so it might seem a bit harsh giving this 1 star, especially as I'm British watching a Brit movie, but I feel obliged to help people avoid wasting their life watching this. I'll start with the good points. The actual sorry line as written in the initial Netflix bio make it sound watchable. Now for the not so good. The acting is pretty poor, and I'm being as nice as possible here. The direction is abysmal, the camera angles and closeness to the actors is worse than shocking, and finally the sound is so in and out, did the sound guy have matchstick arms and could not cope with the weight of the boom mic ? Trust me, this is one to avoid. I'll try and finish on a positive note though, if they'd used decent actors, and decent director, with decent equipment, it might have been ok ish.

Bad dubbing, bad acting, bad photography, bad lighting, bad dialogue, and I'm only twenty minutes in. Looks like amateur actors didn't feel sure of themselves or the plot, which had a few holes. Police procedures, medical involvement and journalistic work stepped on each other's toes, and the cod portrayal of an "alternative personality" just grated. It looked like someone watched "Dexter" and thought they could do better. They didn't.
