Such a frustrating disappointment

Fantastic!

Absolutely the worst movie.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Plot: Divorced mom and teen daughter don't get along. Strange man lives in daughter's closet and appears to be her primary companion. Strange man meets mother and starts affair with her. Daughter becomes jealous. Mom discovers that strange man lives in daughter's closet. Strange man threatens mom and daughter. Mom attacks strange man with tennis racket. Dad pulls unconscious strange man out of Mom's house and asks strange man if they went too far. Dad then bandages strange man's forehead and returns to mom's house to mop up blood from Mom's kitchen. Theme(s): People get divorced, and bad things happen. Check your children's' closets more than annually. If you only know the person's first name, don't have sex with them. Men are in cahoots with one another to make women's lives miserable and deserve to have their skulls smashed in with a metal tennis racket.

This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The story was loosely held together and much of what happens lacks reasoning. I do not know if it was a dubbed movie or not, but the key characters mumble their way through this painful script to the point that you can barely understand what is being said at all. The mother does this in every scene. It was one of those movies that was so horribly bad that I just had to watch it through to the end, but it was agony. I had to check several times to see how much time was left as I contemplated watching the end or just changing to a new movie. The characters stared off in odd directions while they talked in some scenes, as though they were reading a cue card. There was no continuity from one scene to the next. How could anyone review this movie and give it more than a 1 star? The end reveals to us why we never learned why he was in jail, but I would think that a cynical teenager like her would want to know why he was in jail. Where were her friends throughout most of the movie? When the movie began, she was hanging out with friends (normal)and then they were just all gone. This movie made little sense. I could not believe how terrible the acting and directing were. The guy would just start speaking Hungarian (?) and he made long heartfelt speech to the mother that was seemingly important to her, but we have no idea as an audience what that was about, unless you are Hungarian I suppose. The movie actually had the ingredients to be good, but between bad acting and back directing, it was doomed right from the start. I will say that the Charlotte was a pretty good actress for a younger girl. The mother was almost comical as she was always on the phone doing a really bad impression of someone on a fake phone call. All I can say is "Wow, really?"

At first I thought it must be written by a woman, because of a dark, mysterious man who ends up in the midst of a mother and daughter who live alone... You don't know what to make of him. At first he's just there and no one can speak of him. There is sexual tension. Then he begins to pry deeper into their lives, more sexual tension ignites, then jealousy and then just plain strangeness. At this point the plot can have gone anywhere, but it really doesn't do anything interesting. There is a twist at the end that revealed to me nothing more than that my instinct that it was written by a woman was wrong. The writer must obviously be a man, I thought. And one who must think he's very clever, and wants to think he's in control of his characters, but really he doesn't know what to do with them and he never created a decent plot for them anyway... in the end he unravels them into a morass and leaves them that way. Some people might like this movie for it's suspense, but it just barely kept my attention and I was disappointed with the anti-climactic ending. It was made around the same time as Chloe and has a similar theme. The difference is that Chloe was written by a woman, so it's a woman rather than a man who is tasked with manipulating the other characters.

I'm not really sure what to think of this one. Peculiar thriller/drama starts off with scenes of a strained teenage girl and her mother who clearly don't get along driving together. When the girl is in her room it turns out there is an escaped convict dressed only in his undershorts hidden in her closet who she feeds, does provocative exercises in front of and flirts with. Given the unlikeliness of the situation you figure at first that the man is a figment of the girl's imagination, but then he turns up at one of her mother's adult education classes and talks the older woman into letting him sleep on the pull out sofa as a guest, which the daughter has extremely mixed feelings about. The only other character in more than a couple of scenes is the girl's remote, estranged father who is a doctor and who left the family for reasons that are never fully made clear. Without giving any more of the plot away by the end of the movie I really didn't know what was going on or if the escaped convict was even that, since he seems like he might actually be the most psychologically healthy person in the film. The final shot is undeniably creepy, but like the rest of the film it begs more questions than it answers. The actresses who play the mother and daughter and both excellent and go a long way towards making their characters seem credible even though none of their actions really is. If you're looking for a head-scratcher this will likely fit the bill just fine, but audiences expecting a thriller will likely be bored and disappointed.
