Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

I actually loved the flick up until they threw in that extra bit of crap about how she had drugged her during there college years as well. U can say im one of the few if not the only one that actually wanted things to work out between the two. But as always they throw icing on the cake in order that you may see from yet anothers misguided perception of how things really are or so they 'believe it so. Unrequited love is such a sad thing in the real world... Almost brings tears to my eyes.I mean if this were a love film then theyd make a really cute couple.. But NooO! It has to play the stereotypical obsessed stalker killer lesbian card instead as many others have done before or aim to do in the future... Give us a true love story, without a tragic ending for once please :/

The atmosphere of the movie is sensational, the characters are well developed, although soap-opera's at times. Unfortunately, the editing was poor, bordering on laughable. I am not a person who picks apart movie editing (this is the first time I've had to comment on it); however, there were a couple of obvious flaws that just jumped out at me, and I had to review them at reduced speed to confirm I just saw what I did.(1) Kate is having a bath, and getting angry by herself. As she gets up and leaves the bath, the waist-strap from her underwear is fully visible. Her privates were in no danger of being exposed, it was just a poorly edited shot. If she is capable of all the carnage she causes, that's one thing; but taking a bath with your underwear on is just plain warped.Also? (2) It was quite nice of her friend "Zoey" to help drag her own body out of the car, as Kate disposes of her. You can clearly see Zoey elevate her right leg, then firmly plant her right foot on the ground as she is being removed. She really was a friend after all.Other than that, I did enjoy the movie. It was a challenging effort to portray a dark plot on the sun-washed California coast, with marina and sailboat in much of the film.

Kate goes to Los Angeles to visit her college friend Sara. The two women promised each other to open up a flower shop in New Orleans, their home town, but Kate finds out that the plans are foiled because Sara found a man and settled in LA permanently.Kate, it seems, is in love with her old friend. Showing how all lesbians are supposedly deceiving, calculating, crazy bitches, Kate and another of her college friend proceed through a roller-coaster of murder, love, drugs, sex, blackmail, and a final round of killings. In that order.The first half of the movie is quite nice. Though Kate & Co does kill Sara's fiancé, you almost get the feeling that it might work out in the end. Then the New Guy(NG) comes along. Things go downhill from there. It turns out the NG was blackmailed by Kate to befriend Sara and the dump her, proving to her that men are not to be trusted. Unfortunately for Kate, NG *can* be trusted. By Sara, anyway.The craziness ensues and we find out that all of Sara's headaches during their college time together was due to Kate feeding her rape drugs, which has a hangover-like side effect. More cement to the 'evil/crazy lesbian' cliché.I'm kinda curious as to why no one cared that Sara killed Kate in the end, when she could easily have turned her over to the police instead.

I saw this film at the Newport Beach Film Festival where the writer, director, producer was awarded the "Filmmaker of the Future Award." When you watch the movie, it's amazing to think he made the film for $74,000. It looks great...the acting is great. I remember during the question and answer session following the film, the director said he wished he had more time to do a production rewrite. I think he found out just how hard it is to make a indie film with credit cards. My hats off to him...the film is great. I loved Kari Wuhrer.
