Not even five minutes into the film you can tell some of the chosen shots by the editor are simply appalling and some random spin shot which are just un-needed.
From an audio point of view this film is unwatchable from the girls first interaction with the parents you can tell through the sound that she is talking down the mic in and ADR Room and that pieces of audio are not even edited with reverb effects to make her sound as if shes actually inside like shes meant to b, this film has a lot of potential but is simply rushed and unfinished. As a student studying media and film i am watching this in my spare time over holidays and can notice these errors and should not have been published like this, the cinematography and the editing and the sound is just awful.
The story is also layed out bad, for example in the first minute or two when the girl says to that woman she has been kidnapped, shes had her whole life to tell someone that and this time she says it, she says it loud enough so she can be heard by the kidnapper. I am watching this film laughing and face palming because of how cheap the budget is and how unrefined it is. However i have given this a 3 stars as the only positive part of it is the genuine idea of the film and their way of trying to capture a mood to an audience, this is slightly achieved through the story but in technical points it lacks heavily. The story is from a book so it was difficult to really 'mess up the story' however to an extent they did but they did manage to keep the genuine idea and feel of it.
