A criminal gradually integrates himself into a broken household by methodically asserting control over a teenage girl and her lonely mother in this off-beat thriller from first-time director Daniel Young (screenwriter of the 2006 horror comedy Black Sheep). It started as an innocent friendship: a desperate criminal with no place to run, and a teenage girl recovering from her parents' recent separation. Before long, however, the desperado grows tired of hiding out in the young girl's closet, and focuses his attention on her isolated mother, abandoned by her husband following an extramarital affair. By the time the stranger has secured an invitation from the mother to live in the house it's already too late, and the daughter is forced to pretend that she's never met him. Betrayed but unable to find a means of expressing her anger, the daughter bides her time while awaiting her father's return. Now, with the two women of the household firmly in his grip, the intruder prepares to make his final move. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Actually better than the melodramatic synopsis would have you believe. Although the ending is another one of those indie- run out of money so gotta end it- endings that frustrates the main stream audience. The "final move" (as quoted in the synopsis) is pretty much a let down which for thrillers of this type could be a disaster. Still the preceding 80 minutes with the help of a talented cast and an unpredictable storyline manages one to fforgive the so-so ending. Not a bad little thriller. .

    I thought the guy was a figment of the girls imagination. Really didn't get the movie.
