Probably shouldn't have watched this after seeing 'Wild Things'... It was a bit of a let down.
So this movie popped up in a list of movies to watch after you've seen Wild Things and thus I did... expecting some of the same.
This one is a classic tale of 'should've listened to dad'. A quality cast with a thin story.
[spoiler] David is the mystery boy who says all the right things and it is no wonder Nicole falls fast and hard for him... Dad has his doubts from the start which he has every reason too as it turns out. Amy Brenneman portrays the 'evil' turned good stepmom Laura, who does a full 180 when Nicole suffers from her first heartbreak and comes home with a black eye that David caused after battling her bestie (who I know in modern day would've been written as the gay bestie) whom he thinks puts a move on his girl. [/spoiler]
[spoiler] The story progresses too slow for my taste. We see David get progressively more aggressive but most of it is dirty looks and the occasional words with Nicole's dad. When he finally hits full creep mode he rapes Margo (who we get to know as a flirt and is therefore not believed by Nicole... they are both bad friends in my opinion) and kills the other bestie and gets a homemade tattoo??? [/spoiler]
[spoiler] Nicole's dad makes the dumbest mistake to trash David and his creepy friends place which leads to them wanting revenge on the whole family. It all escalates in hyperspeed with a lot of violence and a mediocre conclusion. [/spoiler]
Okay-ish movie but I wouldn't recommend it, definitely not after watching Wild Things. There are better movies in the genre.
