I assumed this would be like all the other psycho ex movies but it wasn't, which was a good thing but the ending just ruined the entire, well, everything about the movie! There should have been some sort of confrontation between Sabine and Averly. By confrontation I mean that the two at least talk about why Sabine came up there and built a relationship with her. They could have actually made it a beautifully twisted understanding or given an intense scene between them as the movie hinted that something like that was going to happen... Basically this movie had potential for various reasons but the ending is one of those that leave you totally annoyed that you just wasted an hour and a half of your life. The ending didn't even give a hint as too what Averly was doing once she found out she was buried in their yard. Okay well I guess it did by the fact that the fire she made to make smores with was raging in height in the pouring rain - she was destroying evidence. But not knowing why is extremely irritating. Was she so pissed at Sabine for falsifying a friendship with her that she just didn't care she was dead? Or was she sad that she didn't get a chance for everything to have come out into the open so they could work through it? How did she even feel about him at that point, did she help hide evidence because she loved him or just so the father of her child wouldn't go to prison? I mean it was just a really really crap ending that gave no satisfaction for the hint the movie kept givihg you that something was going to go down and left you with way too many questions. Also the stabbing scene was so quick and not from a clear angle that I had to rewind like three times to try to figure out if she stabbed herself or he did by accident / on purpose?! Honestly I'm still not 100% positive I figured it out, although I am all loopy from cold medicine. Great acting, beautiful cinematography, nice slow thriller burn to pull you in but again this movie was ruined by the ending. It had so much potential, they could have gone a few different ways and made it great. Lastly why advertise it as a scary psycho ex girlfriend movie if the ex literally does nothing "psycho", just kinda mental because she was so emotionally upset she passed up a chance to fulfill her dream AND she was likable in the way that she was actually nice and relatable to Averly?!
