Engels At first glance, the script has several problems. The first - and biggest - is the dialogue. In some scenes, they are incredibly stupid, which significantly diminishes the impression of what the viewer is watching. In the end, the dialogues are not even performed particularly well. The second problem is the insertion of completely unnecessary scenes for effect. And these scenes aren't even particularly good or genuinely effective. Couldn't Lindsay at least take her clothes off? What the film manages to do reasonably well is maintain suspense, as for a considerable time you won't know what's happening. That's good, because there's not much else to interest you. Then it all comes down to the twist and how it is executed. Unfortunately, even that isn't groundbreaking, and the film shows that it lacks any structure leading up to the twist. It's as if they just shot in the dark, and it happened to make a bit of sense by chance. ()
