Surprisingly Good!

I really liked this movie!
I wasn't expecting much and c'mon, it's a made for tv movie by MTV, it was a lot better than anyone expects.

It was very gritty and dealt with some pretty heavy themes (rape, murder, incest, drugs, sex) - I liked the ending, it was nice and now what I expected. Very tense and an all round good film.

I didn't like it. Maybe because I've seen this type of movie done much better. It's more like a Z movie IMO and feels scripted/unnatural.

Yes, made for TV but I DO expect more from TV these days. If you want good made for TV movies that surpass expectations the definitive place is HBO. Movies on there that put any network to shame especially MTV.
