Not the worst film, but.....
swexy-467101 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I watch quite a few Netflix movies, an alot are hit or miss, The plot is essentially a stalker film however whoever wrote the script really dropped the ball. (Spoiler)

At the beginning of the film a man is murdered, they do not show who the killer is, it is later revealed that there were two suspects, the ex girlfriend and the murder victims girlfriends best friend.

As the show continues, we discover that the ex-girlfriend was out of prison, and blames the best friend of the murder.

At this point people start dropping. Fairly simple premise.

The problem was: the film maker SHOWED who the killer was. If the killer was just a gloved hand pouring in poision, spiking a drink or drowning someone. When would have this little thing called: suspense.

Seeing the killer perform his kills, destroyed any tension or drama. And let me bored and uninterested.

Future film makers please take note of this film, how to destroy your intrigue before the first half-hour.

Trashy fun
gideonzack7 July 2019
If u like low budget trash this is for u! Predictable and what not it's a "turn your brain off and drink a bottle of wine" movie. The lead actress has some talent. Kinda liked the direction. They clearly cut out 20 minutes to fill the 1:30 hour limit. So there's that. Enjoy!

Talk show murders
phd_travel5 September 2019
This wacko is a talk show host who murders his way back to the object of his affection's talk show. The guy is suitably creepy. It's fairly entertaining the way he dispatches anyone in his way with medicine and other means. It's not very innovative but it's fairly watchable about average by Lifetime standards.

All the murder victims suffered less than me
scotttccalbury18 November 2019
After watching Blackbear my boy thought it would be funny to watch another z grade movie. It wasn't. As soon as Cole got stabbed I stuck my head in the oven. The investors in this show should be investigated for tax fraud. An offer of investing money with a Nigerian Prince is 100% more believable than the acting in this crap fest. Imagine my disappointment when I found out that none of the murdered actors were actually murdered. I'd be disappointed to see any of the cast performing at a local store promoting paint.

I wish I could give this negative 10 stars.
mbrownse18 November 2019
This movie has set the bar at the lowest of lows. With a cast and crew so cringe and talentless you'd swear you'd watched roadkill more appealling. It seems the plot has been taken from a year three creative writing session and developed by a workshop of monkeys. The best part of this movie was when it ended and I could gladly say I did not develop PTSD while sat through this absolute tragedy. While I honestly hope the actors live long and prosperous lives I do hope they are mildly tortured for two hours so they understand the pain they have so willingly seduced each and every person too that watched this film. otherwise, great movie.

Nothing new, nothing fresh. Could been a contender.
PhoenixCongo1 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
'Untraceable' this movie is not. Why any actress, especially the two leads, would take this lead roles with the naivety of the role is beyond me. The rent must have been due. A sane perso who figure out Jake 10 minutes into the film.

Everything is predictable with the still in love friend who sneaks into hospital to switch pills too kill the leads husband, what hospital has lack security let's Jake roam around drugging Trents medicine? The husband of the lead actress is just as naive to not figure out that he gets sick everytime Jake is around. ------ Doctor to wife after saving her husband: Has anything unusual been given to your husband?

Evelyn: No.

Doctor: Because the lab results show that the seizure was brought on by food given from the food cart.

Evelyn (Wife): But that's impossible. ---- Really?!? You saw your husband eat pudding given to you from Jake.

And you know that once Jake's girlfriend finds out his past she's finished.

Even when the wife suspects Jake is shady, even when Jake professes to the wife, she's still not too convinced.

With no investigation at the scene of Jake's girlfriends death at her house the Detective says Jake's girl must of been drunk and fell asleep in the bath tub, but doesn't believe the husband was poisoned EVEN THOUGH HE WATCHES FOOTAGE OF JAKE POISONING HER HUSBANDS DRINK!

When Lana Jones is killed

This movie is stupid. You know how it's going to end but you just watch to see how much stupider it can get.

Trents sees that Jake has his wife when he sees Jake has his wife at an old hangout, he spends almost 10 minutes watching the livestream and ASK AGAIN FOR THE HOSPITAL STAFF TO GET HIM OUT OF THE HOSPITAL!?!?! My man, just leave!

This was a great opportunity to do something new, something fresh, but it's the same The friend is secretly in love with some and kills everyone in her life.

The ending is melodramatic, and a lot of great talent gets wasted on the weak script.

What an abuse of brain cells!
Wow I'm on a roll here..... picking all these flops! Actually I'm getting a kick from watching which ones deserve the worst ratings. Do these producers have surplus cash sitting around waiting to spend on nonsense?! Just give it to me, I'll put it to better use..... what a waste!

Absolute Crap!!
jcwentzjr2 July 2019
Why? Because you know within 20 minutes the motive and the murdered! The dumbest movie EVER! The lead actress is developed so stupidly that she cannot even put the pieces together given everybody close to here is dying!!!

Character development is horrible. Storyline is horrible. Whole movie is horrible.

silly movie
amao-181026 July 2019
I must say it is a very silly movie. Wish I have read the reviews before watching the movie.

The crime and the way of doing it were so obvious, but the killer just kept on succeeding. The girl Naomi is stupid. "I gonna finish it on my own", sounds cool but then get caught easily by the killer.

the husband was watching the live show, asking someone to get him out of hospital instead of calling the police immediately.

I would give zero star if I could .

Horrible Cast
lmccrary-756223 July 2019
This is the worst group of cast ever! The lead actress definitely will need more acting classes. It should have been a stage play instead of a movie.

Worst movie ever
fergusondonna613 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
And I use the term movie lighly. Plot: naomi is a morning TV personality. A college associate, the lead suspect in a murder of the college jock, shows up after 10 yrs. Husband - oh baby, as long as you think he's innocent welcome him into our life. Hook him up with your best friend, but dont tell her. Best. friend: what? he's looking for a cohost job? What perfect timing your cohost just died suspiciously and suddenly. What, after he has lunch with your husband you husband has an accident? What a coincidence? Oh he's getting better, yay! Oh no, a relapse, but the only thing he had was the pudding from the college guy. That means nothing. You've been trying to get hold of your bestie since she was having dinner with college guy? Oh let's take him to her place. Oh, she's dead? Cop who originally thought college boy was guilty of murder - nothing suspicious here she probably drank too much and drowned in the tub. Ex girlfriend of joke meets you. She wants you to go to police with her as shes sure its college boy. Oh no, these are just coincidences. Dr explains husband was drugged. Ok, let's go to the police. Same cop, 2 dead and husband attempted to be killed twice. Cop - there's nothing there. We cant even investigate. Naomi, ok I'll do it myself. I'll just go to college boys apt by my little blonde self.

Tortuous. Hard to tell if these people could act or not as script was so bad. But very wooden. No emotion at all from any if them. Just horrible

I Am Still Laughing !
carolynocean17 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
What a load of rubbish, I mean , seriously ?? What ?

As you can tell , this movie has fried my brain , I cannot even put into words how ridiculous and bad it was !!

No plot line, they told us from the beginning who the murderer was , the "actors" were beyond funny, and the hospital scenes were just hilarious , I hope that I never end up in a hospital like that, worst nurses ever !!!

And as for the ending ? , I could not believe that there was a " shrine " scene , come on !!!! It was all too much for me , Bad, Bad , Really Bad .

Awful female lead....
oliviasmor11 January 2020
Someone is bound to make a drinking game out of this "thriller". This is a mess. Bad story with even worse actors. Do not watch. It's a total waste of time.

I just want to know why he left evidence at every murder? Come on Netflix, at least make some quality content and earn what I pay for.
