I was so eager to watch this film and now after watching it I feel very disappointed to say the least. Firstly the characters are so unconvincing, unnatural and both their voices really did my head in, but I suppose that's a personal opinion. Hayley is an annoying, cocky 14 year old. She has so much front it's just so annoyingly unbelievable. The film is slow, and slightly unclear.
I believe this film could have been so much better. I don't understand why some areas were avoided. I understand it's involving a very sensitive subject but if this is what the film is all about at least give it a bit more dialogue. I was confused because it took me a while to realise that this guy was really a paedophile. Obviously we don't need to see things on screen however why couldn't it be that Hayley found inappropriate pictures etc., it would have given the film a bit more to work with. The cheesy lines at the beginning didn't sound right, they sounded so unnatural and the actors might as well have been reading straight from their scripts.
The 'castration' scene was effective in a punishment sense for a paedophile, however how many 14 year olds do you know could have done such a medical procedure? Yeh maybe it is possible with excess research but it was stupid and once again unbelievable. Her constant concern when carrying it out was a bit odd. This girl was mad but she seemed to have some sanity in there somewhere.
Both characters could have been written better. It's always annoying to see some kid manage to do such great things, like drugging a grown man, then managing to pick him up and tie him in a chair and getting him to stand on a chair while she wraps rope round his neck ready to be hanged, and convincing him to jump off a roof and hang himself. Lets face it he could have easily just chucked her off the roof for being an annoying beatch and done us all a favour. Naturally you shouldn't feel sorry for Jeff but his character on screen doesn't really make you hate him except you know he's a paedophile and at the end realise he had some involvement in some girls murder. More than anything throughout this film I wanted Hyley to get her comeuppance. She was annoying and obnoxious and lets face it she was dangerous and belonged in a mental home herself.
The film failed to highlight the problem of paedophilia, which could have been done effectively but also tactfully. The film doesn't make you feel complete hatred towards Jeff even though what he is. It's just not made clear at all.
This film is rather poor, It's watchable but is slightly boring to begin with. The characters are just not convincing. This film could have been so much better, perhaps more actors were needed instead of just 2 with annoying voices.
