I've been averaging a movie a day for years (I'm retired) and this has got to be one of the most underrated and bypassed movies I have encountered. Not only does it star a young (19) and very beautiful Elisha Cuthbert; the acting, writing, and direction are top-notch, with possibly one minor exception. I enjoyed Elisa in "The Girl Next Door," but she really shines in this, her first major role. She is convincing, powerful, and sexy. Not all that common a mix, but she nails all three!
The movie was riveting, and intense. The actors playing high school students came across as authentic and natural: not hokey or contrived.
