nightroses This has got to be a sad film based on a true story. It doesn't mean that everything in the film is exactly the same as true life events but there were some changes made. School is rife with friendships and bullies. Here there was no bullying, it was friends and the girl's own friends who did the murder. The true story is much more complex but the film itself focuses on the two BFF's and the arrival of a new girl. The new girl Ashley breaks apart the besties by choosing to befriend one of them and isolating the other. Also making her new friend not go on a date with this boy. The actress playing Ashley comes across as a very evil teenager who abuses her mother at home. As the film was based on a true story, it could've been told better with more realness, such as both girls plotting and planning to kill their friend. It made only Ashley the cold blooded killer while the other girl was reluctant. The only message in the film is not to trust your friends and don't sneak out at night without notifying your parents. The film could've added more updates on the outcome of the murderess' trials and the Skylar Law put into place because of this.

adriianna-40299 I'm a sucker for a good lifetime movie, and this is one! Took twists I wasn't expecting and was excited all the way through. If you more looking for a good lifetime movie, look no further!

JamieWJackson There was some good acting here, and the movie moved along fine. In the end, though, I was left disappointed that the movie was too "based on a true story" to be good fiction, but too fictionalized to be a good docudrama. It kinda slipped into the crack in between.Tina Ivlev is absurdly sexy, but her character here is so obviously psycho that it's hard to even try to warm up to her. Right from the start she's disturbingly flippant and manipulative. There's never a moment of horrifying realization for the audience, here; the outcome seems telegraphed from the very early going. With no mystery, it seems that the only thing we're watching to see is everybody's reactions to what we know is going to happen.Despite those and other flaws, the movie-making quality level is decent here, for the most part. It's really just the script that needed some work, I think. I give this 5/10 for being watchable but forgettable.What I did take away from this is that I will eagerly look forward to more from both Tina and Brittany, two lovely and talented young actresses. (If they make a movie about Helen Hunt's life, I vote Tina to play her. Eerie resemblance, IMO.)

edwagreen Very good film where a girl moves into a town with her welfare collecting mother who is always drunk. The girl is manipulative, vicious and quite disturbed at that.She soon becomes friends with two other girls from their local high school. Jealous of their friendship, she turns one girl against the other and lures one of the girls to her death and then makes sure to make it appear that the friend was the killer.Amazing that the alcoholic mother soon woke up and realized what was going on as well as the victim's mother. The film also shows how the mother of the dead girl never believed that her daughter's friend from grade 6 was the killer.Film proves that there has to be more of a trusting relationship among parents and their children. After all, the murder victim was good, but upset with the thought of her father being transferred and moving to another state. Our murderer came from a dysfunctional house but took advantage of the situation to rule over her mother at will. The framed girl came from a home where the father was moving in with his girlfriend and the mother was non-existent.
