    Spsffff

    Je ne sais pas quoi dire mais c'est vraiment bête comme film

    Why do they make movies like this?

    One star is way too much for this (I can't even call this a movie). Is Fred Olen Ray a real director? Are those real actors/actresses? My God, Gianna DiDonato!!! My daughter is 100 times more talented...

    Cliche, pathetic

    Is this someone's idea of a joke? What a ridiculous cliché. What a sad, predictable crime drama. This movie is laughable. Is it a home movie? Have we really come to this? This is just such a cheap, ridiculous product that has no reason for existing in film history. Please don't watch it. Please save yourself. Two hours of life is not worth wasting on this movie. I sing about it was so completely predictable and poorly directed and acted. We are better than this. This is not entertainment.

    The reviews are on par.

    The mom played by Zuninga has been in other movies and she wasnt this bad at all. She has a smart mouth but comes off stupid most of the time. I thought the movie is over because she has pictures then they all become stupid and drag it on. The mom and daughter roles are reversed and that doesnt work either. The detective and her check the house but not completely. The daughter defends herself like they do in horror movie, hit them twice and run. I dont mind low budget but when acting is way better.

    Terrible acting and predictable

    I only watched this because I'm a fan of Daphne Zuniga. This film was a solid waste of about an hour and a half of my life. Either these are the worst actors or the writing and directing was bad enough to make good actors seem like they couldn't act. I hope the latter is the case because Like I said, I'm a fan of Daphne Zuniga.
