Needed better acting, a better script and a better director.


A low budget is no excuse for horrible acting. This film's main problem was the horrible performances by every single person except the original lead character. once she was killed the movie went down hill. The idea of all of these "crazy" people interacting with each other is a great premise but this film just couldn't pull off the dynamic because it lacked the execution from the actors. The wife's performance was extremely flat and the lesbian lover was extremely overdone. But I can't blame everything on the actors. Who writes scenes such as a lesbian doing sit-ups while smoking or making detectives ignore a strange pickup parked right in front of the house after a double homicide? The first 30 minutes or so ranked about a six but then plummeted to a three after 1.5 hours of unimaginable laziness from entire production team.

YES! haha, I just wrote almost the same thing about this film on another page. Started out promising, but really fell apart as soon as Esther was dead.
