So the crazy villain in the movie has borderline personality disorder, and of course she harms herself, she is promiscuous and crazy. It's really irresponsible to make these portraits of a disorder when society is so ignorant when it comes to people with those disorders, which are very real and some people are struggling to overcome the stigmas associated with them. How would someone with BPD, who is in therapy and trying to live a normal life feel when watching this BS? Bad is how. It's just a poor decision to label the crazy person in a movie with a real disorder.

Writer/director Ramsauer gets a lot of mileage out of a limited budget, thanks to keeping it small and simple, both plot-wise and by keeping the focus on faces and bodies. Half home invasion, half stalking thriller, the plot centers on two couples fighting for the love of a boy (good casting here as with the four main actors, too - mostly veterans in the TV field but newcomer Lili Epply is very convincing as the crazed antagonist Nicole, too!). First the conflict is more hinted at than open, but sooner or later all pretense flies out the window and things get ugly and uglier.

As with many thrillers, the basic setup is a bit contrived, as are some decisions the protagonists have to take so the conflict stays limited to the four adults, but it never felt outright silly and there was a good buildup of tension throughout the movie - with the one exception of a side-plot prior to the finale where we explore Nicole's past; while this may be well-meant on Ramsauer's part, it stops the action and breaks the tension; besides, the motivations behind Nicole's behaviour seem rather cliché. Otherwise, a very good and intimate thriller, recommended!
