Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
kittiedanger I thought the lead was Jennifer Lawerence halfway throughout the film. Ashley Greene was unrecognizable. The part that 'really' gets me is that this could all be true events happening to people across the country. It's tefreshing to see a movie that had one strong female lead, 2 female leads is a bonus. I don't want to give anything away, but expect unpredictable outcomes, yet not in the M night Shamalan way
Michael Ledo Kristy is for those who like a good anarchy film. Oh not the candy-ass "The Purge" type anarchy but the rebellion against conformity anarchy as presented by Black Flag's unsettling "Family Man." "Kristy" is a generic name for a "pretty, pure, and blessed" white bread girl who believes in God. In the film they claim, "Kill Kristy and you kill God" apparently for people who saw "God's Not Dead." After they quickly establish the cult anarchist group, the delve into establishing the character of Justin Wills (Haley Bennett). She is smart and athletic excelling in science. They build her character showing us stuff that smartly plays back into the film. During Thanksgiving break, she is left alone at college in Madison Hall where the ballasts are going bad on all the fluorescent lights. Her rich girlfriend leaves her "The Bimmer" to drive. While out picking up some Ben and Jerry's comfort food, she is mistaken for a "Kristy" i.e. "pretty hair, pretty car" and becomes the target in what becomes a cat and mouse film. Unabashedly conforming to the movie formula, the group finds out Justin is no "Kristy." Decent film, if you like that kind of cat and mouse stuff. Opens itself up for an infinite amount of interesting sequels.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.
jhr2012 This is a very well done thriller. The suspense is maintained throughout the film up until the last scene. I found myself really pulling for Justine, wanting to see if she could out wit the gang. Typically in this sort of movie, the protagonist makes one stupid move after another. Not so in this movie; Justine is pretty smart. The way the movie ends makes it seem like there may be a sequel?
kat12986 First, I just want to point out that while I like to watch horror and thriller films, I haven't seen every single horror film out there, so I didn't think it was that much of a rip off of other films. However, I do feel that most films like this film are similar anyway. There was one scene that I felt was a complete ripoff of another film: the scene where she was in the kitchen. Did the screenwriter never see Jurassic Park? Are the bad guys velociraptors, easily distracted by noise and not intelligent enough to know better?As for the scare factor: it made me jump a couple of times but I'm not terrified to turn the light off. I equate it to the Halloween or Jason films, which I don't find scary at all.There were a couple of things that I thought were dumb. Like what was with those stupid aluminum foil masks? It's not a very strong material so I just don't understand how they stayed in one piece on their faces the entire time. Also, I just don't get the Kristy thing. I mean, I get that they're a weird online cult that hates pretty girls so they kill them. I just don't get the random violence, but then I've never seen the Strangers or the Purge precisely because I don't get the appeal. Maybe I watch too many cop dramas Criminal Minds where everything is usually tied up in a nice bow at the end really explaining the psychopathy of the bad guys.Overall, if you're bored and you can watch this movie, it's not exactly the biggest waste of time as there are worse movies out there.
