1.5/4
As is, this is a foolish thriller that prompts the occasional snicker but not much more. Go to Full Review

Though the story itself is comically predictable, Chloe Bailey’s earnest portrayal and the lure of the iconic Lynn Whitfield make the movie fun to watch even as the narrative completely unravels at the seams. Go to Full Review

2/5
The film drags on and the central tension flickers until the whole thing feels less like a purpose-built feature than a limited series hastily stitched into one, with Lee ham-handedly propping the door open for a sequel. Go to Full Review

The hypersexualization of women, the lessening of women into roles that relate to the male figure in their lives- I heavily disagree with Go to Full Review
Abe Beame In Review Online Jul 9, 2026
A horror film that’s not scary, a psychosexual thriller that isn’t slick [...] satire without a point and which isn’t smart, and camp that isn’t fun. Go to Full Review

Hctor R @H0509 4 days ago Película predecible y alargada a más no poder. Puede generar algo de risa de vez en cuando. Puedes vivir sin ella See more Timothy E @Tnice17 5 days ago Chloe was very stupid. You staring at the husband making love to the husband in the house, and you knew the wife had a gun. I was glad when they found out. She looking so stupid. See more Carly H @RT26687774 Aug 29, 2026 worth the watch, has good plot twists! but some dialogue and acting could’ve been improved. See more Mariela F @RT61517462 Aug 3, 2026 Just terrible. I wouldn’t consider it horror but more like a horrible movie! Sex scenes and the music were the only thing that kept me looking at the tv every few minutes while doing laundry. See more Erin M @RT17163463 Aug 3, 2026 This movie had the worst pacing I have ever seen. All of the suspense and true plot are crammed into the last 20 minutes. IT IS APPARENT THAT THE BUDGET WAS SPENT ON THE CAST RATHER THAN CGI. I truly have not heard worse, more awkward dialogue!!!! THIS MOVIE STINKS DO NOT WATCH AT ALL IT IS NOT HORROR JUST HORRIBLE See more Rachel C @beemaine Jul 30, 2026 The stars go to Anna Diop and whoever did the beautiful lighting during the night scenes. Anna's performance was so good and she did a great job of creating tension and making things unsettling. The movie as a whole feels like a first draft. The music choices for many scene were weird and goofy, the scenes that were possibly supposed to be unnerving were clunky, the dialogue was clunky and felt fake a lot of the time, and when they recorded lines in post it was super obvious and unnatural.
