best movie i've ever seen.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Joel Edgerton is one of my favourite actors. I would marry him. I also enjoy Jason Bateman but I HATE him in this movie! He's such a giant evil jerk in this film! Oh my gosh I wanted to punch him! It's a great movie about bullying and revenge and that jerk got what he got what he deserved!
I start watching this movie thinking it would be another "stalker from the past comes to make a family's life a real living in hell and everything turns out fine at the end", but no, this movie is a psychological horror-thriller with so many details! And the end.. omg, a really good movie
Joel Edgerton wrote, directed and acted in this dark mystery-drama and pretty much hit it on every front. It really is disturbing not so much from what you see, but from the right amount of suspense and not revealing too much.Having said that, you need to be in the right mood to see this movie--modern film noir.
A couple relocates after a miscarriage to a new town to make a new fresh start. Suddenly they get stalked by an old schoolfriend who just happens to live in the same new neighbourhood. However weird he might act and however obnoxious he might be in coming to see them uninvited over and over again he doesnt break any law perse. He is just somewhat weird and wants contact when the couple didnt ask for any friendship. The couple decide to bluntly tell the guy that they dont ever want to see him again. After that weird things start to happen around the house. That is the creepy part. The reason that creepy things start to happen around their new house is the clever part of the story. But at the end of the movie I felt a little disappointed. The great suspense kinda deflated at the end when I knew why everything happened the way it did. All in all certainly an entertaining creepy movie about stalking and about a lot more which I cant explain right now, because of spoilers. Story could have been better. And the drama could have been intenser. In the end it felt like a somewhat unbelievable story that spoiled the very good suspense of the first half of the movie. But then again this is often the case with movies that depend on the plot, it either is believable or it is somewhat cheesy cheap. This one is in between. 7 stars.
