1.5/4
As is, this is a foolish thriller that prompts the occasional snicker but not much more. Go to Full Review
Aramide Tinubu Variety Jul 1
Though the story itself is comically predictable, Chloe Bailey’s earnest portrayal and the lure of the iconic Lynn Whitfield make the movie fun to watch even as the narrative completely unravels at the seams. Go to Full Review

2/5
The film drags on and the central tension flickers until the whole thing feels less like a purpose-built feature than a limited series hastily stitched into one, with Lee ham-handedly propping the door open for a sequel. Go to Full Review

The hypersexualization of women, the lessening of women into roles that relate to the male figure in their lives- I heavily disagree with Go to Full Review
Abe Beame In Review Online Jul 9
A horror film that’s not scary, a psychosexual thriller that isn’t slick [...] satire without a point and which isn’t smart, and camp that isn’t fun. Go to Full Review

Rachel C @beemaine 33m The stars go to Anna Diop and whoever did the beautiful lighting during the night scenes. Anna's performance was so good and she did a great job of creating tension and making things unsettling. The movie as a whole feels like a first draft. The music choices for many scene were weird and goofy, the scenes that were possibly supposed to be unnerving were clunky, the dialogue was clunky and felt fake a lot of the time, and when they recorded lines in post it was super obvious and unnatural. See more mike G @RT54242938 3d This is the Swiss cheese of movies, I haven't seen this many holes in a movie since Shia LaBeouf and Khleo Thomas Co-Star in a movie together. This really feels like a dei I don't think it would have won any words outside a high school school project if it wasn't for the dei these were basic plot holes in this movie It was just poor writing all together acting it was as good as it could be again you can't act or react a shit script. It's kind of a shame no one wants to be the participation trophy See more Daniel V @danielvelar 3d I really enjoyed the movie, I wouldn’t say its a horror story but mostly thriller kind of movie. But besides that, I believe the actors really did a good job and would recommend. See more Johnny R @JMARV76 Jul 20 Suspenseful!!! Enjoyed watching and recommend it. See more Shirley B @RT16623726 Jul 19 Fun to Watch! The cast really sells the movie, especially Chloe, Lynn Whitfield, and NOLA Darling. The movie is written like a typical thriller, so it's slightly predictable but that makes it fun to watch. See more R T @Noellechae Jul 17 I Enjoyed This Movie!
