Unable to get a distributor, this film went unreleased for some time and after having to sit through it recently, I don't think it was worth it.
The film just feels lazy. The acting is terrible, the story is slow moving, the twist is painfully obvious from the get-go and the movie quickly starts to make itself a parody as it wants to make sure, every second of the film, that you know that everybody and their mother wants Mandy Lane.
A moment won't go by where she isn't being eyeballed by someone, talked about by someone or even just told, straight to her face, that she is the hottest thing to ever exist. When the film isn't obeying the supposed rule of "tell, don't show," the film will make sure to objectify Mandy by constantly filming every inch of her body in slo-mo and making sure that the light is always cascading around her like she's in a calendar shoot. It gets even worse when Amber Heard thinks that acting like you are the most desired female in all of existence means just look at the ground, smile weakly and play with your hair. That's the most acting you get out of her.
It's clear this movie wanted to be one of those iconic teen slasher films from the 70s and 80s but it just didn't feel like finding the energy or desire to do so.
Hi! My name is Rev. Ron and I love movies! So much so that I write a blog where I review whatever movie I am watching at the time. You can read a more in-depth review of this film (and others) at revronmovies.blogspot.com.
