    Abysmal so-called thriller

    Boy, Netflix was really scraping the bottom of the barrel when they acquired this independently made movie. Where does it go wrong? Well, to put it bluntly, in every way you can think of. For starters, it makes the remarkable accomplishment of managing to badly miscast every key character, not just with teenage characters that are obviously played by actors who are in their late 20s (or possibly older.) But even if the movie had a cast made up of more convincing and capable actors, those actors wouldn't be able to do anything with a remarkably dumb story (with even more moronic characters) that moves slower than the pace of a snail. The really low production values (which for a time had me convinced this was a Canadian production) just add to the challenge of trying to sit through the entire movie. In the end, this is a thriller without any thrills at all.

    WTF

    Why do they cast. 26 year old as a teenager? Only the beginning of a long list of bad.

    Total car crash

    Everything about this movie was so bad I couldn't believe what I was watching. The nonsensical plot, disjointed story and acting so wooden it seemed like the actors were reading from cue cards. It's hard to believe from watching this that Ashley Rickards starred in a successful TV series. I gave it the second star for the 'so bad I can't look away factor' which I found oddly entertaining!

    For the actors sakes you hope this is their one bad job

    Bad acting + bad script + bad direction = this garbage.

    Oh so bad. You must watch it.

    Very weird movie where it seems the parents and children are all the same age. Casting ages is only the first problem. Acting ability, or lack there of is the second problem. Script. Problem.

    Storyline

    Edit
    • Goofs
      Most of the movie occurs on or around July 4th, in Louisville, KY, with a character's 18th birthday within a week. The final scenes are noted as "Six Months Later," but show the same character's 18th birthday pool party, in what would be January, where the high temperature is 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius.)
