Please don't romanticize abusive relationships.

Warning: Spoilers
A girl meets a boy who purposely messed with her car so that he would come to her rescue. Already weird. He kills one of her former flings. He threatens his mother when she says he should put school before the girl. When the girl is muorning the death of her fling she innocently goofs off with a platonic male friend (at a party.) Boy doesn't like that so he attacks the male friend and hits girl so hard she has a giant bruise on her breast area for the rest of the movie. He break into her room while she sleeps... she wakes up and he threatens suicide if she were to leave him. REALLY WEIRD. Boy kills that platonic male friend later of course. He convinces girl to come over for a platonic dinner. Surprise, his mother is tied in another room and when girl discovers this, boy threatens to kill mom. Reveals how he killed her friends. Basically this story ends with mom escaping and boy killing himself because he realizes he can't contain the girl.

Can the creator of this movie explain why this girl says something along the lines of "my biggest regret is never telling you that I love you" at the end of the movie?Yes, she regrets telling this abusive killer that she didn't say that she loved him.

This movie tries to rip off Fear, but Fear is actually good and doesn't empathize with the abuser. We celebrate the abuser being taken down in Fear. Hearttrob is just a more abusive version of Twilight, with a Lifetime script.
