    Huge disappointment!

    The movie seems all-over-the-place and forced in every way. Bad characterization, bad script, bad acting (except Samara Weaving).

    WORST MOVIE EVER!

    I don't even know where to begin. This is THE WORST movie i have ever watched, bad acting, HORRIBLE directing, predictable and cheesy. This is on a whole other level of awfulness. I'd be embarrassed to have been in this movie. Certainly embarrassed if i was the director! I mean who gave this guy a camera and said " Go shoot this movie" lol omg wow . I can't "unwatch" this. -_-

    All over the place, with an unlikable main character

    Since I liked a lot of Samara Weaving's other stuff, I rented "Bad Girl".

    The movie was kinda so-so, but the thing that killed it for me was Sara West's character, Amy, was genuinely unlikable. I really didn't feel any empathy or sympathy for her.

    Part of the problem was there was no context to why anyone was the way they were. Worse, there was little explanation of the family unit, and you're trying to piece it together on top of figuring out the motives.

    Why did they move? Because of a crazy house party? WHAT?!?! Why is mom so dead set on making this work? Why is dad so suspicious of Chloe's motives? Other than "rebel teen", what is the reason the main character is such a horrible person?

    Then there was the attraction component that was all over the place. They could have made a real connection between the two, which would have made for a great realization/rejection moment, but again... nothing with meat to it.

    Samara plays a good nutcase (well, she's adorable, too) so that kept me watching, but lack of depth to the story and the unlikable Amy killed it for me.

    Was going to give it a 4 out of 10 but after typing this, I dropped it to 3.

    If you're looking for Samara Weaving stuff, there's much better movies out there. If you're looking for an LGBTQ story, "Kiss me, Guido" is infinitely better than this. If you were looking for something barely mediocre that could have been decent, this is your movie.

    Brilliant acting in adequate story

    I saw this film at the 'Roze Filmdagen'; the Amsterdam LGBTQ film festival. To be honest, it wasn't my first choice. As a gay man I'd rather seen a gay men's story...

    But I was positively surprised by the quality of this film. All the production-work, all of the art-direction and all the camera-work are just great. And I really enjoyed the acting of especially Samara Weaving and Sara West, the two main actors, who put down a very involving performance. I guess the story isn't spectacularly inventive, but within it's genre it's a nice piece of work that kept me in suspense during the whole movie.

    Had fun watching it!

    Pretty good movie. It had its ups and downs but overall its pretty good. Well, its better than all the horror/thriller remakes that hollywood's been putting out. Samara Weaving did a great job portraying her character , i really wished there were some backstory to her character but overall she did a great job.
