1/10
Rich kid with an Alessi Kettle.

Warning: Spoilers
I cannot think of even one good aspect of this film. It is just plain silly. I have no idea how i managed to finish watching it. And the ending is just plain stupid (which I wonder again how I managed to sit through the entire crap.) You should avoid this ridiculous piece of junk at all costs. Its an insult to your intelligent. If this one is a suspense thriller (by all mean, I highly doubt it is one), I cannot help but think of "scream" and "I know what you did last summer" but without the gore, the blood, er.., also without the thrill and the suspense.

*a little spoiler ahead* When Naomi came up to their lofy apartment and to confront with Derrick, we all know WHO did it and WHAT he did. So what is it so scary to find out Jone's roommate(Derrick) is a rapist who she has already slept with in the opening of the first 15minutes? I just dont get it. Secondly, Travis is supposed to be the scary and unstable character so we should get tick in our scary-o-meter. Instead, with the "incredible" script and directing, I felt he is just a little child who need some motherly care. And what's up with the ending? I managed to sit through the entire movie all I get is this lousy ending? I was expecting something shocking, twisted which blown me away. Eh no, I only get a "let's wrap this up quickly because we don't wanna stick around the set no more" kind of ending.

It just failed miserably as a suspense thriller but it managed to show you a nice Alessi kettle though. :)
