It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I watched this last night. At first, I thought it was gonna be boring, but got a whole lot better. First off, this movie is cheap and low-budget so the audio is a little off. The one thing I really loved about this movie was Natalie Dickinson as Tara. I just absolutely loved her performance as this crazy psychotic sick twisted woman! She starts flirting with her neighbor, Ray. After a regretful one night stand, Tara believes that he's in love with her and stalks him and slowly begins to kill his friends. She abuses and cuts herself to show her love to Ray. (The torture scenes are very brutal and will make you squirm. To make it even more creepy, they play fun circus-like music) I would definitely recommend SHE'S CRUSHED!!!

I was never expecting 'Crushed' to be of the same standard as 'Fatal Attraction', especially after looking at the cast. However, I also did not expect the film to be this below-average.The plot of this film is good, despite its lack of originality. Furthermore, the pacing is acceptable and the script is passable. Yet, despite this, the low-quality recording, matched with acting that is, at points, humorously poor, creates a film that does nothing but symbolise its low budget. As a result, this movie does not engage its audience or establish a sense of care regarding the fate of the characters on- screen, therefore the experience is not a memorable one.Although this film is, generally, not very good, it is easy-to-watch due to little thought being necessary to keep up with the storyline. In addition to this, Natalie Dickinson does not do too badly (especially in comparison to the actors she accompanies on-screen) and conveys her character in quite an interesting manner.Overall, despite limited positives, the poor acting and unspectacular production values render 'Crushed' as a victim of its low-budget and a very forgettable film. With so many great horrors around, I advise you spend your viewing time elsewhere.

Not all Low-Budget movies are Low-Quality however, it is the case with She's Crushed(2009). I don't want it to be bad, but it is. It had a great concept that is not often portrayed in American films, but the lack of good equipment, and lack of talent destroyed the movie.The biggest flaw I saw, or heard rather, was the sound quality. It was ridiculously loud, and grainy for every single scene. The grain of the audio almost overpowered the speaking parts entirely. I have seen much older movies with better sound equipment. As for the video quality, it was OK. Just a little out of focus at times, and it did look a bit grainy, but I've seen worse.Almost every single character was cliché and poorly written. The acting didn't save it much, although Natalie Dickinson was fantastic in this movie. She really captured Tara's instability. It's just that the writing was absolutely terrible, and it felt that even she was aware that the lines were garbage.I really, really wanted this movie to be good. Had they got their hands on some good equipment, and replaced half the cast, this movie would have been awesome and unique. But, they did not, and now it suffers the fate of fading away in the dark depths of low-quality horror.

Okay, let me just start off by saying if you liked movies like Audition (Ôdishon, 1999) or May (2002), then you are most definitely going to love this one.Yes, this is not a major Hollywood production with millions of dollars in the production, but wow! This movie was thrilling from start till end. It is one of the most disturbing movies I have seen.The way the movie is shot is phenomenal, the images and the camera angles. The images go from being serene and pure to being disturbing and downright diabolic.Crushed (or "She's Crushed") will keep you nailed - almost literally - to your chair throughout the entire length. The movie is one big roller-coaster ride, building up suspense and tipping over with great thrills, and often toe-curling scenes.The characters in the movie are vividly brought to life by an amazing cast. None of which I can recall having seen before. The cast really did a great acting job in this movie. And the set was good as well, very believable. Natalie Dickinson (Tara) and Henrik Norlén (Ray) were perfect in the lead roles.The gore effects were good, but some quite obviously fake. But that didn't matter, because the whole movie is so well put together that you will look past some fake effects. It has enough blood to keep even gorehounds glued to the screen.This is one of those movies that will stay with you for a long time. The images are compellingly haunting, bizarre and beautiful at the same time. And the characters are believable and real. A shame that it haven't gotten more attention than it did, because this is most definitely a movie worth watching - a gem in an otherwise flooded genre of thrillers.Not only is the movie great entertainment, but it also leaves you with some questions. Could this happen for real? Should we trust strangers who come into our lives?I felt like I had my teeth pulled out and still I was begging for more! Watch this one! You will not be disappointed!
