    Plot ok but needs a lot of revisions

    Like others have commented, the plot is ok but some parts of the story just do not make sense. Since Sam knew that this was a murder case, why didn't she make a backup copy of the pictures? The last scene in the mall makes no sense at all. Why did Walker put the gun away......

    The producers should have the story reviewed first before shooting the film and this may make the whole thing more convincing.

    Some good plots sadly it's full of holes

    Some good plots However the acting is way under Par And the movie as so many mistakes the pot she used to hit the detective landed on the floor and all of a sudden it appeared back on the stove, plus so many mistakes in the scene

    WTF

    This is one of the worst acting ever ! A waste of time !

    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.

    Heed the WARNINGS of the bad reviews

    Oh how I wish I would have paid attention to the reviews before I got to invested in the movie. Gave it a three-star since it wasn't so bad that I didn't turn it off.

    Probably only finish watching Because I was too tired to look for something else and curiosity. I was curious if If any of the other actors were involved.

    In the beginning I kept thinking the acting was going to get better but it was as if the actors themselves realized how bad it was and we're just finishing to get a paycheck. Both the script and acting seem to get worse as the film progressed.

    Now I'm laughing at myself for actually finishing it because it was a colossal waste of time.
