Surprisingly incoherent and boring

The acting in this movie is really good.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I thought the lead was Jennifer Lawerence halfway throughout the film. Ashley Greene was unrecognizable. The part that 'really' gets me is that this could all be true events happening to people across the country. It's tefreshing to see a movie that had one strong female lead, 2 female leads is a bonus. I don't want to give anything away, but expect unpredictable outcomes, yet not in the M night Shamalan way

PROS: A good part about the movie was the idea as a whole. The way the scenes were set up allowed for a great amount of fear and horror. The script also allowed for the main character to be resilient, not just for the sake of the movie, but just in general. There was nothing that happened that couldn't actually happen. Although this made the movie very readable, it didn't take away from the fear that it naturally would instill. A movie with a strong, independent, female lead will always be a fun watch!CONS: The most aggravating part of the movie was the ending. There was so much more that could have been developed, but it just got cut short. I got quite frustrated at this fact because the movie lacked a lot of substance during the actual process, therefore I relayed heavily on the ending to give me that extra umph to propel the film. Another part that could have been improved was the acting. For some reason all the actors felt very stagnant. The main female character had pretty much two factions to her acting, 1. CONFUSION, and 2. BADA** MODE. Which are two good characteristics, but not the only things you need to be the star of a film. The final things that got me really angry was the fact that the main villains always found a way to find the main girl. It is an entire freaking college, and somehow they always found a way to find the girl. This gave the film a rather unbelievable factor.www.chorror.com

The intro gives us the gist of what the story is about: a clan hunting down a certain type of female, murdering them, and posting it online. I have seen dozens of films where the main character is the prey and must strengthen to overcome the predator. That is what I expected with Kristy, but this is no typical cat and mouse story. Justine, our main character, is shown early on to be intelligent (her caution of not wanting to go into the dark area alone, her immediate difference toward Violet) and tough (not wanting to make a fuss about being alone for Thanksgiving, being wary of letting her guard down and say the big L word to her boyfriend). They let us know she was at school on scholarship and had no car--which is why her roommate left her hers--which is a good indication she didn't have money. So we know right away that she is not really a 'Kristy', yet Violet mistakes her for one because she sees a pretty girl with a nice car that goes to a great school. it takes a while for Justine to officially fight back, because most sane people don't think to attack back, but when she realizes she has no choice, she goes all in. The tension is high and the kills are brilliant. Definitely worth a second viewing.

"Kristy' is a very finely made movie. It's got a bit of an 'I Spit on Your Grave' feel to it. It's sort of broken into two parts, one where the killers are in control and one where the victim fights back and gets her revenge (neither part is anywhere near as gruesome as 'I Spit on Your Grave' it should be noted). There's an impressive intensity to every horror scene that could easily rival the best slasher films ever made. Genuine and originally crafted scares are consistent throughout.I watched this during the day and it still had the ability to keep me on the edge of my seat right until the end, a rarity in modern horror films. Haley Bennett in the lead role does an excellent job of keeping us thoroughly rooting for her. The killer masks are effective and creepy, much like 2008's 'The Strangers', killer's masks are a great way to add that extra layer of fear to the audience. Altogether a very finely made horror movie that I hope a lot more people get the chance to see.
