Not knowing what to watch on Amazon Prime, the thumbnail to this seemed interesting so I clicked on it. (The title was pretty lame, but I didn't let that stop me).
It's all about some rich family in Switzerland (I think) moving to a new neighbourhood where the daughter Mia tries to fit in at school. She beginning to hang around three of the local troublemakers... and that's where the problems start.
Believe me, I did NOT see the direction this film was heading in until the aquarium raid and the 'webbed toes' scene... then it became kind of obvious. The ending is then highly predictable from that point on... but there's lots to entertain along the way, especially for fans of body horror.
There are a LOT of unanswered questions at the end (such as: Where did Mia come from? Who are her real parents?). In the great scheme of things though, they really don't matter. The story is an engaging one, the acting is fine all round, and the make-up people do a most splendid job, especially near the conclusion.
If you ever wanted a H20: Just Add Water for adults, well your dreams have come true. You weirdo. 6/10.
