I actually thought it was OK for it was, nothing too new and nothing too special, but not a total dead end.
Sort of like a derivative, low budget, take on "May" (2002) meets the cult German horror movie "Der Fan" (1982) with a little bit of Takashi Miike's "Audition" (1999) and "Fatal Attraction" (1987) on the side.
Its not totally believable or realistic for sure - and many may even ask if there are girls like that in real life who somehow turned out to be psycho serial killers due to unrequitted love etc, or how she manages to really subdue a fully grown man like that and confront that private detective with a knife and win, but lots of Hollywood films in general have those types of issues and tropes, so I was fine here.
The title by the way is almost like a complete opposite of something like "All the Boys Love Mandy Lane" (2006) but there are similarities between that movie too, which ALSO involved a strangely attractive girl who turns out to be a psycho killer.
The greatest trick the Devil has ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist!
