This movie started with some potential, got so frustrating mid way through I almost turned it off, then took a turn that was...ok? Spoilers below....

Did you know tutoring has a Wolf of Wall Street type broker that talks the big talk at strip clubs, always has his feet up on the desk in a nice suite, pumping up his Tutor off to the next big deal to score it big?? Me either.

When our Tutor first gets to the house we meet: the druggie Calvin Klein model that is just...lounging about, semi normal girls...lounging about, and then super uptight "17" year old kid that's wound tighter than a drum, creepily stalking about. I can go with this.

Once our Tutor is drugged and then tossed in a lake (that he so conveniently wakes up from while sinking. AND his bag, with laptop, phone, professional camera...shoot, the whole dang brief case is waiting for him just off shore RIGHT where he pulls himself out at...he then knows exactly where he is and FOOTS it home in the middle of the night. His gf is just peeved he is late! He missed the doctors appointment AGIAN. Not "oh my god you were drugged and almost drowned, WTF let's get you to the hospital, call the police NOW"??

There's some horrendous acting from Will Byers, like he is lucky he was cast in something that became a phenomenon 8 years ago when he was a cute kid horrendous, bc poor chap would be hard pressed to land a lifetime movie now.

Blah, blah, blah....the ending. I WILL say I had no idea it would turn out our Tutor is/was this crazed killer....of a character that is barley mentioned or had no big back story and was sort of thrown in towards the end.

Finally, Tutor's pregnant gf, that had absolutely no idea her polished, handsome, soon to be father of her baby whom she is madly in love with, is a two faced psycho murder - until she so happens to walk up AS HE IS ADMITTING to him murdering...casually hangs around till the morning hours with a kid she's "met" twice and all she basically says is "did they find the body"? THE BODY!? Your world has been completely shattered, turned upside down, your future child that you will now have alone and always know the father was an unhinged murder and you refer to him as the body?? I can't. I mean she does have her arms crossed and looks displeased. Oh, she throws in something like "ya think you know someone, amiright!?!"

5 stars for not know he killed home girl and he was so fine in Tron.

I watched this simply because Garett Hedlund starred and he's always been a solid actor. However he did his best in this film, but he was failed by an awful plot, silly dialogue and terrible acting from Noah Schnapp.

The story is OK I guess, a private tutor is hired for a rich boy and then is terrorised by the boy. But apart from Noah Schnapp looking as if he was in his 30's and not 17, also his acting was terrible so I never got on board with his character.

Victoria Justice looked pretty but she failed to support Hedlund because she can't act either.

But when I totally lost interest was when he got poisoned, woke up being dumped in a lake to be drowned, and went home as if nothing had happened. To face a childish teenage type row with his jealous girlfriend.

I watched to the end even though I knew how it was going to go, but that was for the sake of completeness. Not because I enjoyed it.

If you're thinking of watching this you'd be better off pressure washing your drive, or cleaning the wheelie bin, or bather the dog.

I sat down to watch this one and enjoyed it for the first half hour. I'd not heard of this movie so had high hopes for a fulfilling viewing experience given what I'd seen up to that point had been pretty solid... aside from a seriously questionable decision from the production hair stylist for our leading character.

Things then got so bizarre with an incredulous plot twist, that a black hole appeared and swallowed up the all common sense, sound reasoning, and logical progression that normal film making enjoys.

I called it a day after 45 minutes for fear of disappearing into the abyss of infinite absurdity.

3/10 for the first 30 minutes 0/10 for everything after.
