Insubstantial and forgettable, but Huppert makes it moderately entertaining

Written by Ray Wright (Pulse; Case 39) and Neil Jordan, and directed by Jordan (The Company of Wolves; The Crying Game; Interview with the Vampire; Michael Collins), this is schlocky B-movie territory through-and-through, with a completely ridiculous plot and over-the-top final act, all infused with a ludicrous generic campiness. It's one of those films that's so utterly horrendous in almost every way, it's actually kind of enjoyable. Kind of. Very much in the tradition of stalker-thrillers such as Brian De Palma's Body Double (1984), Adrian Lyne's Fatal Attraction (1987), and Barbet Schroeder's Single White Female (1992), although nowhere near as good as any of them, Greta was introduced at the Venice Film Festival as "a twisted little thriller". Well, it's certainly twisted, and it's also rather little, but there isn't a huge amount of thrilling going on. Same problem if you want to call it a psychological thriller, as there's precious little psychology. In fact, there's precious little of anything going on, as Jordan seems to have precisely nothing to say; the film simply isn't inherently about anything. Although it is good for a few laughs (and I'm pretty sure not all of them intentional).
