Ms Chong did a really good job portraying a pathetic obsessed psycho with arrested development. You can almost feel for her character. Almost.
This is an indie film which plays out like Lifetime on crack. The typical obsessed stalker locks in her prey. But what were supposed to be funny moments (the neighbor seeing her choke out her captive and buying it was self defense practice?? For 1 example) fell flat.
I could have done without the gratuitous bloodshed scene with the tongue cutting. Which leads me to the end... What exactly was the relationship between the husband and Chong's character? I didn't really think the dialogue conveyed the situation very well. How did they meet? He seemed indebited to her? Was she his therapist at one time?
Also, who were all those paintings of kids and photos of people around her house? Does she stalk people and families as a full time gig?
All in all I can't say I enjoyed this movie. It's rather depressing and cold, yet once in I felt I may as well finish.
