DON'T READ IF YOU HATE SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the whole middle part was a frustrating watch. It was unrealistic how the girl's mother so strongly refused to believe when her daughter said the guy assaulted her. I mean she wouldn't even listen to her daughter at all.
Her daughter's immediate reaction to seeing him when the mother brought him to the house should've been a big clue, but the dopey clueless mother just accused her daughter of being jealous that she's seeing a man who's not her dead father!! Wow.
Which brings me to the other thing that was unrealistic (and funny).... The dopey mother, clearly in her 40's with a face full of middle aged wrinkles, actually believed that this hot 20 something reality TV star who apparently was a hot Hollywood commodity and making millions----would be going out with this 40 something tired looking nurse. It was laughable. If she had half a brain she would've seen that he was only using her to get close to her daughter. Many times I wanted to reach into the screen and slap sense into her. She looked like his mother standing next to him lol.
The daughter frustrated me too because she just HAD to make her dopey mother believe that he was stalking her that she actually broke into his mansion to retrieve a Polaroid of them together to get her to see she wasn't lying.
All she really had to do was sit back and let things play out on it's own because the guy's obsession with her would've revealed itself eventually.
I liked the ending though. There was a point during the final confrontation that I had no idea which way it would go and I like that it wasn't easily predictable.
I just didn't get one thing.... At the very end the cop says "They're both going away for a long time." But if it was just the stalker's crazed mother who was doing all the killing and kidnapping, what's the stalker going away for?
He looked genuinely surprised when she revealed to him how she killed his ex girlfriend, so therefore his only crime was having the hots for a 17 year old. And the assault in the beginning was merely him trying to kiss her in his living room before his psycho mommy walked in.
He also seemed shocked to see Kendra and her friend Jake tied up in the room when he got home and helped them escape. So it appeared at the end of the film that he was innocent in all this and was just a stalky creep with a short temper.
I did like it overall though and the acting was good all around. So I put it right in the middle with 5 stars.
