Warning: Spoilers
I definitely recommend watching this movie especially if your a fan of the mystery/thriller genre.

The plot is solid throughout and starts with showing us the popular it couple of cheerleader Nicole Voss (Ari Meyers) and Captain of the football team Greg Dunleavy (Mark Kassen) however, what Nicole doesn't realise is that for months he's been seeing Emily DeCapprio (Soleil Moon Frye) as well. It all comes to a head when Emily tells Greg she's pregnant and after his attempts to persuade Emily to get rid of the baby fail he's left with only one option and that's murder.

The acting throughout the movie from all actors is great. In particular the scenes between the neglected daughter Nicole and Emily's distraught mother Tina played by the fantastic Tess Harper are excellent as, they form a unique friendship both looking for something their missing which they find in each others company.

The film also touches on issues such as class divide and small town influence. I also, like that the writers drop subtle tells that Greg is unravelling as the pressure grows and that they actually tried to humanise the killer in this movie which, is most notable in the final scene which Greg, Nicole and Tina share at the warehouse.

Give this movie a watch you won't be disappointed.
