Actress who played Raven was awful


Her delivery was so flat in all of her lines. Would have been a much better movie w/a different actress.

maybe it was the script writers wanting her to slow things down


Rob Zombie is one of the greatest directors today

it wasn't the script.. she was just terrible.... she didn't look the part.. she didn't act the part.. and worse yet.. she didn't feel the part... she was way too whitebread and bland... to tell the truth... the premise is a good one.. but the whole project could have been done better... it comes off like a 70's movie.... this really could have been good... but it plays like sabrina the teenage witch... without the laugh track.... it's a horror character... with absolutely no horror... not even a hint...

I agree. It's looks like is might be a pilot, and if it is, they should recast Raven. She is beautiful but a horrible actress. The idea was interesting for a show and e other a for we're okay.

Part weren't too bad, but overall I agree her performance was bland. IMO it almost seemed as though she was going for the Kristen Stewart, one facial expression, emo technique she used while playing Bella Swan,.

Maybe so, but she is smokin' hot. Did you see her ass in that scene where the detective first comes to her door, and "Raven" is running around in her panties, hiding stuff? It doesn't get much better than that.

And to expect actual "acting" in a Lifetime movie is unrealistic. So she is forgiven for that role, in my book.

reply

I don't care how she looked in her panties because I don't watch movies like that for piece of ass(It's nice to see something but It can't be only thing that matters) and I have to agree - she was terrible. Her voice sounds bad, her face expression and even her look reminded me about queen horrible Kristen Stewart.

And It's a BS that you can't expect 'actual acting'. Andrea Roth did a great job, so did female antagonist played by Siobhan Williams. I'm pretty sure she would make a better 'Raven'

It's on the Lifetime channel. It is supposed to be flat/dull/edge free, family friendly, and cheesy. And the Raven actress looked so much like a young Alicia Silverstone it was almost too distracting.

I just watched this movie and was thinking the exact same thing, I actually came here to post how horrible of an actress she was and ta-da you already did it for me lol.

Thought she was passable for a TV movie b grade type production...
