Twisted Little Lies/Nightmare Student (as usual - two titles for one movie)
Near the end, they didn't call the police when a girl's life was threatened/in danger, which makes the entire stupid silly movie that much stupider and sillier. The psycho texted his obsession's cell phone that he would kill the girl with him if she didn't come to the school right away, so she tells her boyfriend she has to go to the school. She didn't call the police on the way there to report a hostage situation and tell them she was going there to find the psycho and/or the girl in danger. She went there with no weapons to handle the situation herself...with her boyfriend along for the ride.
The writers seem to blame the kid's psychopathy on the car accident he had been in - due to the note scribbled on his file that he found at one point - but unless the viewer paused it to read the note, the audience had no way of knowing that since it was never mentioned by anyone throughout the movie.
The Nick and Christine actors were miscast in their roles, and Jessica Morris plays the same monotonous blah character in every LMN movie she is in. Why they bother giving her a different name in each movie is beyond me, since they're all the same one-note character who's stalked by the psycho high school student, college student, pool boy, and the "Wrong" this or that in every movie she's in. She wouldn't know what great acting in a genuinely great movie was if she fell over it. What's she gonna do when she's too old to continue playing the supposedly sexy young leading lady-victim after 20 more LMN movies roll off the assembly line? No legitimate producer of quality first run films would ever want her.
The kid who played the psycho was passable with his acting, but it made no sense that he didn't rape her while he had her drugged in his bed. Just one of several plot holes in the movie. I agree with the reviewer here who said it seemed that it was written and produced by junior high school students.
