Yao J i think the movie is great, no matter what others say, it's my top10 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Chad T India Eisley is good as poor Maria & the wronged airam l. I originally thought this to be a story of a repressed girl who goes over the edge, but it’s really a sinister ghostly horror story based on rejection & revenge. It’s a bit muddled at times, but anger & rage isn’t always directed where it’s supposed to go. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review nick s Quite well shot movie, anchored by a capable actor and supported by a good cast. The writing didn't quite stick the landing but it wasn't bad. For its genre it probably could have done with a few more spine chilling moments and a bit of pace. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Matthew L Not by any means a great movie, but I enjoyed many parts of this film. The plot was okay and kept me tied in and there were decent jump scares. Would watch again (maybe) Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Audience Member I am shocked that this movie is so poorly reviewed everywhere. Obviously this isn’t a masterpiece by any means, as I do think the film doesn’t milk the premise and potential of conversations and plot points enough, some conversations fall flat and weird and kinda leads the film to a “dumber” direction. Like especially conversations between Airam and Sean or with Maria and her dad and mom. But when I watched it, it was kinda obvious to me that this is a shot at a raw teenage diary or a supernatural phenomenon. So when all the people are complaining about how this movie is sick showing underage masturbation, sex, and nudity and rates the film a 1/10 I’m like ????? Obviously this isn’t real underage nudity and sex as the actors are well into their late 20s and even 30s??? 😭 it’s a movie that’s portraying very normal lives of teenagers?? And I don’t think there is anything wrong with portraying that, and I don’t think the movie is exploitative or overtly sexual. It is portraying the protagonist teenage girl fighting with her own body image, self love, and relationships with others. So I just think it’s unfair to take off so many points because one is uncomfortable with sex scenes and fail to see past the point of the movie (a film about a lonely and growing teenager), especially many films and shows have portrayed underage sex for the longest time (ex. Euphoria the show is an example). I do think the film can be a bit boring and doesn’t cut to the chase sometimes, but it is gripping enough and the plots are still there where I would wanna sit through the whole thing. Anyways, I absolutely loved the premise of the movie and its portrayal of struggling with teenagehood like depression, anxiety, body image, self love, bad parents, and your peers surpassing you while you feel helpless. I think these points were portrayed whether or not it was flushed out or accurate to real life mental illnesses. With that said, I do think the film did nail the main points and really did try. It definitely made me ponder and think after the movie which I consider as a good enough of a thriller. 7.5/10 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Joseph G Beautifully made in terms of its cinematography. India carries this film with her wonderful acting, her supporting cast does a great job. The film has an unfortunately anticlimactic ending. The sub plot about a twin sister was confusing. I liked India, her acting was great with becoming a different person and she had a lot of great scenes as the mirror character.
