thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 8 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Steve D 02/21/2023 Effectively creepy and well acted. See more Lesley E 03/31/2019 This film is truly an underrated gem. It accurately depicts the traits and behaviour of a sociopath. If you're studying psychology and you take a course in sociopathy you might actually learn a lot. A lot of people calling this film dumb and nonsensical are usually people who do not understand the behaviours and actions of a sociopath. So if you're keen to learn a thing or two about sociopaths, pick up this film and give it a watch. See more 03/20/2017 Is actually a neat little thriller that doesn't depend on gore or cheap scares. Curtis' character seems in step with 'at that time' a more confident Curtis as a serious actress. Aside from a few reviewers who apparently seemed to see another film and reviewed this one just to keep their 'super reviewer' active, one wonders...The film is recommended for those who like a good story, with a few twists in it. See more 06/01/2015 Mom who abandoned her family attempts to re-establish relationships with her kids but makes life hell for her former husband and his serious girlfriend. Suspense builds in this one and Jamie Lee Curtis is pretty convincing as a woman who is unhinged. Husband may have second thoughts about moving on and not trying to stay together with estranged wife for the sake of the kids. See more 06/16/2014 A woman who abandoned her family years prior is shocked to find another woman in her place when she wants back in. The film has the look and feel of something meaningful but is just plain dumb. See more Read all reviews
