Reviews:
“There are so many things that go wrong here like Olivia smashing her face into a sink to appear abused and then get to stay in the house, at which point she starts wearing lingerie and eating all the cheese in the fridge […] You can see where this is all going but if you love these movies like I do, you enjoy each twist and turn of ridiculousness.” B&S About Movies
“It has a distinct TV movie feel, but the production quality is gorgeous (the lighting is simply stunning). Everyone involved with the production – both in front of and behind the camera – seems very aware of what kind of project this is. It’s both a dark and brutal story that feels like something out of a true crime documentary and it takes some kitsch turns along the way. Over-the-top in all the right ways!” ★★★ Heaven of Horror
“It is never all that thrilling, descending into farce frequently. There is a distinct campiness to the movie and it is pretty ridiculous for much of its length. Despite all of this, it is still pretty watchable. Acting is fine, the story has enough twists to keep you interested and it’s comical for how ridiculous it is.” 2.8 out of 5, Knockout Horror
