Of obsession and terror
This movie leaves you wondering how a sweet and lovely girl like Nicole (played by Reese Witherspoon) could have fallen for a really low life nasty guy like David (Marc Wahlenburg) , but who can judge how a teenage girl thinks? It becomes a gripping thriller as David the psychopath unleashes a reign of terror on Nicole and her family.Two other interesting characters are Nicole's father whose authoritative strength and lack of hesitation to act against David ultimately saves the day- a pity more fathers aren't prepared to do what is necessary ; and Margeux (played by Alyssa Mylanno) Nicole's brassy but good-hearted best friend who's life I always feared for at the hands of evil David (who brutally terrorises her) but who I was very happy to see get throughA male schoolfriend of Nicoles is not however so lucky as he is followed home by David and savagely beaten to death.The end of the movie see's aparticularly gripping scene which after much horror leads to the deserving defeat and death of David and his villainous goons.
