Fun and Creepy

I do not understand the people who give this very low reviews. They must be charmed if this is one of the worst films they have ever seen. I saw this on Amazon Prime which has a large number of one star films, but this is not one of them.

This reminds me of an extended episode of a horror anthology series such as Hammer House of Horror or such. The tone is light for the most part, but it grows dark in the last 30 minutes. The plot is good. The beginning was a bit slow, but, what with the title of the film, it held my interest because I knew what to expect.

The acting is good despite what some reviewers write. I have come to believe that if someone on this site wants to give a poor review, they automatically cite the acting whether it is actually good or bad--it is just a convenient target.

As others wrote, the protagonist grows on you. I was rooting for her by the end. Yes, she does a few stupid things, such as when she is spying on the neighbors from her bedroom window and leaves her light on. I suppose as teenager she is supposed to make those mistakes.

There probably isn't enough gore for some (much of the violence is just off-screen), but it is still effective.

It is about a teenage amateur detective who suspects her new, too nice to be true, neighbors of having a secret (the title gives you a very subtle hint of their secret). It is supposed to be light and fun and creepy. Just relax and enjoy it!
