rpanczner The true horror occurs at the end of the movie, as justice is denied. Just how terrible, and cruel, two high school boys can get is approached in this film. The packing is slow, video poor in most places, and the acting mediocre. Maybe the trouble horror of this movie is that I wasted my time.

lukeshulver As someone who has been the subject of harassment at home I found the movie too hard to watch all the way through. I simply cant condone seeing harassers portrayed as kids having fun when the reality is they devastate lives. Celebrating gangstalking like this is grotesque.

zombiefan89 For those who haven't seen Alpha Dog, it alternates between flashbacks and present day in a courtroom. In that film, you know what's going to happen, just not how, which is fine for a documentary.However, it's terrible for suspense! I knew exactly how it was going to end the moment the cop gave his testimony! In short, the movie pretends to be Disturbia, told like Alpha Dogs, and ends with a twist akin to Gran Torino. As for the movie's commentary on trying juveniles as adults, I am not a fan. Out of fairness for those under 18, you COULD treat them as adults under the law, BUT you would also have to give them the right to work, vote, drink, smoke, and consent to sex. You can't throw children in prison without lowering the age of what it means to be an adult.

morrison-dylan-fan Whilst talking to a friend about what Grunge bands she has been listening to,I decided to ask about what movies she has recently seen,and was told about a Thriller on Netflix UK. Recognising the title from a very good review by Kim Newman in Empire magazine, I decided to pay a neighbourly visit.The plot:Deciding to make their own secret "social experiment" film,Ethan and Sean break into the house of loner neighbour Harold Grainey,in order to plant hidden cameras and other electronic devices around in order to make Grainey believe the house is haunted . Over the next few weeks,Ethan and Sean spend all their waking hours watching Grainey. Desperate to wind Grainey up,the guys use devices that create random power cuts,and even break the windows. Believing that they have a camera in every part of his life,Ethan and Sean soon discover a secret door in Grainey's life that they want to unlock. View on the film:Picking up the camera for a feature film debut after spending years working on major blockbusters as a concept artist,director Kasra Farahani displays a striking artistry for various film formats,with the footage "shot" by Ethan and Sean being given a low-res Video grit,that neatly counters the slick digital format that spans the houses of the guys and Grainey. Recording a mix of genres,Farahani & cinematographer Alexander Alexandrov give the voyeurism of Ethan and Sean an intelligent twist,where the traditional sexual undertone is exchanged for an obsession similar to internet trolling,where the guys want to make their "haunting" troll Grainey to the point where it controls his life.Recording Sean and Ethan starting out on their film project,the screenplay by Mark Bianculli and Jeff Richard give the Found Footage genre a psychological horror dominance,with Sean and Ethan's recordings capturing every waking (and sleeping) moment of Grainey. Looking into each room of Grainey's life,the writers brilliantly turn the Home Invasion Thriller genre round,with it being the things on the outside,and not the "monster" seen inside that are the real terror. Joined by a terrific,short-fuse Logan Miller and Keir Gilchrist as Sean and Ethan, James Caan gives a fantastic performance as Harold Grainey. Speaking a limited amount of dialogue,Cann gives Grainey a ticking time bomb facial expressions,that also carry the weight of what is in the unknown room,of this good neighbour.
