Plot is kinda interesting, although it's been done before. Wes Bentley is perfect as a psycho obsessed stalker type of guy, he plays this role so well. Can't say much about the rest of the cast, Cam Gigandet's acting is usually better when offered more to work with, so he can't really be blamed. Jamie Alexander's character was forgettable, yet more frustratingly dumb than anything. Like who wakes up at a stranger's house suspecting they're a weirdo and creepy yet leaves without making sure they have their phone?! It's the one thing you check when you get up in the morning. Not just that, but she doesn't even ask for it back when he shows up at her place and they have a little confrontation!! She claims to her friend that her entire life is in that phone but she sure as hell doesn't act like it. How did you find me? Oh, you left your phone, OK. That's how the conversation went, she doesn't ask him to give it back?? And there are many idiotic moments like that too that make no sense. She learns later that he's dangerous and has killed before, but warns no one close to her. There are different occasions when she and her soon to be husband wanna talk about him, but then just change their mind.. So stupid. A lot of the problems would've been solved in this if there was some communication, yet they always decide not to talk. There was some suspense but sometimes it went nowhere after building it (like when he goes to visit her sister at the horse stable, he kind of said hi and left.. No real danger there.) The overall acting was above average, with the exception of Wes who was suberp. I think it's a good effort given that it's the director's first movie though. I give it a 5.5.
