This movie was awful on all accounts. The camera work, acting and storyline. The ending sealed its fate by not providing any conclusion or outcome! This was based on a true story but the story itself was not even captured. ??♀️?

Badly written, badly paced, badly acted, and badly filmed- jerky handheld stuff. Also their intended audience is in question. Mixing girl on girl yay for immature boys, with nudity that goes on way too long, breasts everywhere, and one scene was like "sexy bruises and scratches".... truly confusing, considering the main audience of true crime and related are women, who are the main victims of true crime, it is truly a ???? If they gave any of that a thought- or created something for themselves and their mates, without thinking about what it would be like to be a watcher. Didnt finish. The story wasnt remotely interesting enough to suffer through more of that. I come at this as a fiction writer and watcher. Icky fail, recommend a passover. This is why indie is insta-judged to be tacky and not given a chance often.

Screams low budget from the first scene

Fail at quality acting, quality filmography, but never fail at story... That acting in the diner was very cringe. You may end up sitting through a fair chunk…
Fail at quality acting, quality filmography, but never fail at story... That acting in the diner was very cringe. You may end up sitting through a fair chunk waiting for the story to pick up and pay you back for your already spent time. Unfortunately, it doesn't. The camera jerking instead of having a "filmed by an observer" feel to it just draws attention to itself - handheld filming requires a strong story so not to be a detracting choice. Wire in the blood did handheld camerawork, but that wasn't distracting like something has got in your eye, because it had a story you were interested in the solution of- questions you wanted answers for. Also, typically women are the largest audience for true crime and tc based stories. It is thought this has something to do with most likely being the victim of it. So it was an interesting choice to try to incorporate aesthetically sexy stuff, within the same scene we are clearly being showed gendered violence- this scene alone could be done framed by the "photography" angle, if expectation hadnt from the start been shaped by previous nudity- that went on for twice as long as necessary, and could have been "suggested" nudity (this can be more impactful as it works with imagination of an audience). And yay, girl on girl, will we wont we get a fun eye full! - definately boys filming for boys, while forgetting story, tension, purpose, and action is needed for everyone in your potential audience. Although i did like the sheriff. The rest of the acting- complete with fake laughter- was painfully cringey, lol. They are clearly reading lines, not acting. Leaves you thinking: could i do better at home. Also, that hospital scene while the girl has some sort of event, and you're wondering why literally no one reacts whatosever. It is simply "this is so dramatic no one will notice that the other characters are put on pause for a good long minute".Of course i come at this as a watcher and writing fiction not screenplays, however, story and delivery are questions that remain the same.
