I REALLY LIKE YOU

Warning: Spoilers
Lindsey (Sandy Behre) is in despair. Her parents died a year ago and she still mopes about the house. She is almost non-responsive in life as her bad actor brother (Henrique Couto) explains over and over again she must move out so they can sell the house. Not only does he explain this to her several times, but goes home to a web cam and explains it all over to us again in case you missed that plot point.

Lindsey is dysfunctional. She sucks at work, school, relationships, and killing herself with a Trac II. The first hour shows us that college girl Lindsey can not function. The film is done entirely with a hand held camera, although not all scenes are being filmed by anyone other than an off screen camera man. Coupled with the horrible lines and acting, the film ranks as purely amateur with little entertainment value. With 20 minutes of film left, Lindsey assumes the DVD cover position, pushed to edge by bullies. Not much of a horror film. It is a bad concept drama with a slasher ending.

Not worth a viewing at any price.

Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

Londsay is a seriously troubled girl
Woodyanders1 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Sensitive and despondent college student Lindsay (a fine and affecting performance by Sandy Behre) finds herself consumed by grief and despair in the wake of losing both her parents in a brutal car accident. Lindsay eventually commits suicide only to return to life so she can exact a harsh revenge on everyone who wronged her.

Writer/director Henrique Cuoto grounds the absorbing premise in a plausibly drab workaday reality, astutely captures Lindsay's deep depression, maintains a somber tone throughout, and pulls out all the chilling stops in the violent last third. Moreover, Behre nails the gut-wrenching anguish and awkwardness of her painfully shy and withdrawn character, which in turn gives this picture considerable resonance and poignancy. In addition, there are sound supporting contributions from Ruby Larocca as spunky gal pal Katie, Josh Lively as the callous Danny, Jason Pollock as Lindsay's unsympathetic boss, George Hrab as a lecherous college professor, and Couto as Lindsay's long-suffering brother. Superior indie fright fare.
