The plot strives for shock value over the kind of brilliant sum of subtle intellectual thrills that make great movies. The sexual assault scene felt appropriately long; this is the sort of thing that should make everyone in the audience feel disgusting. The compounding events after said scene were unnecessary, and made it feel as if I were being hit over the head with the horror of the female lead's experience (the writer seems to be telling us that if we didn't think rape and being blamed for it were bad, we should feel sorry for the lead's having to ask for her purse, not being able to start her car right away, and having an utterly stupid mother-character). The lead's embrace of her reputation trivializes her horrifying experience at the hands of three evil young men. The murder-as-revenge thoroughly disrespects the lead's purported intelligence. I could go on.
The acting, editing, and directing is amateurish.
The script feels forced and unrealistic.
If you like the more ridiculous slasher movies out there or read supermarket paperbacks, go for it. If not, please don't waste your time.
