Worth a watch, although it was pretty disturbing. Very suspenseful. Not sure why Amy was enticing the hired help, when they obviously made her uncomfortable; so the plot was a little mixed up. Had a replay of 'of mice and men' with older challenged fellow who accidentally smothered the girl he liked, bit of a rip off.

I liked it, but it needed more of a plot to it. More of a background of things that happened in the past between her and the ex maybe!? But either way, it was lacking something.

I thought it was great ! The Ex and the bunch of hoodlums got what was coming to them ! They were All Scumbags and I see why She wanted to Leave Even back in High School ! She Had The Best Man with her Because of Going Away! He Showed Them What A Real Man Could Do Once Pushed a Little too Far!🙂
