A Stretch Stalker Film
Rod - wrote on 09/24/19
A big stretch! We all know what Greta is capable of or what a psycho-stalker would do but the film just ends up feeding the audience the same. I find the shift of getting-rid-of-Greta to saving-Frances a bit unsettling, this way, the script led to a different path losing that one clear direction of the film. It could have gone deeper rather than broader, it has the mother-child layer of the story or the father issue dimension, but it chose to close it ***SPOILER ALERT*** with the best friend being the hero. Although I appreciate the attempt of the writer to make the story as visual as possible, the story development consequently hinged to unrealistic turn of events when: an investigator (hired by a very rich person) easily downed by a stalker and the party-and-yoga girl finishing the job instead. And yeah, what about the other dead bodies in that house? These two best friends even had the audacity to think twice of they should tell the police. The only good thing about this piece is that Isabelle Huppert and Chloe Grace Moretz played the two main characters.
