7/10
A good thriller
11 December 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Despite the negative comments this movie got, I have to say I enjoyed it. It has got a good thrill in it, and at the end, there is a major twist in this that really gives it a jump. This is a story about a recently divorced mother, Sarah, moving into to a new neighbourhood with her daughter, Elissa. The town is said to have a house in which a daughter murdered both her parents and was never said to be found.The son, who was not there, Ryan, still lives in the house at the end of the street. Elissa does not like her neighbours on the other sides, so she tries Ryan. She begins to have an affection for him. When he is beat up, Elissa runs to his house and discovers a secret room. She is then attacked by a girl, which then Ryan comes in and explains to her, that the girl who murdered her parents was there, Carrie-Anne. Elissa then finds contacts and a wallet with a girl who looks like Carrie-Anne but his not named that. When Elissa questions Ryan, He traps her in a room, with the now drugged Carrie-Anne. She finds out Carrie-Anne died before she killed her parents, Which means, Ryan kidnaps girls and pretends that they are Carrie-Anne. Ryan then believes Elissa can be Carrie-Anne and the movie turns into a chase thriller where Elissa tries to escape the house, while her mother searches for her. We find out at the end, the real source of evil was the parents. They made Ryan dress up as Carrie-Anne once she died, and when Ryan denied the fact, they would abuse him. He killed his parents and all this time, he was trying to prove that he was not Carrie-Anne. I liked this. Its not an Oscar movie, not at all. It is a good thriller that will give you a chill. Although, this is not horror, it is thriller with a few effective jump scares. I liked this movie, and that is final. p.s. Jennifer Lawrence was amazing in this, she made this movie a good one.
