The acting is so bad, all the characters had the worst reactions ever, for example when the first victims boyfriend got brutally murdered right infornt of him he didn't get ptsd, he didn't cry, he kept watching silently as she slowly dies then he screamed a little bit and that's it, the friend group is flat they don't show us them having any emotions or ptsd from what's happening around them, i also remember in one of the scenes the protaginist literally smiled when her friend died in the prison scene, was i the only one who saw that? Also why is she so rude to her mother? All she did was care for her ... i mean yeah she drinks a lot but she's not a bad mother, and glen.. just like others in the friend group he doesn't have any reaction for his surroundings i mean his two friends where brutally murdered even if they weren't that close they didn't show us any scenes of him crying, being scared or even worried for his own girlfriend that told him she didn't sleep for 7 days! He just snuck up to her home and then ignored her afterwards, the father and daughter's reaction to the mother dying is dry as hell, and the ending.. what?? I really don't get it, i liked the happy ending for a moment until they got us that weird twist, there are so many other things that are wrong with this film but I'm tired .. i'm just baffled that this film's rating is 7.
