Synopsis
An unattainable teenage beauty whose ethereal allure is so potent that it has drawn some men to their doom goes on a weekend trip with her popular new friends with tragic results in the feature debut of filmmaker Jonathan Levine. Sixteen-year-old Mandy Lane (Amber Heard) is an earthbound angel who has been courted by every available man in her small Texas town to no avail. When the normally reclusive enchantress reluctantly agrees to accompany her new friends on a weekend getaway, the initially irritating adolescent advances made toward her rapidly turn menacing. As the sun falls behind the hills and a volatile mix of drugs, alcohol, and hormones turns explosive, the irreversible propositions of her peers lead to unexpected, and horrifying, consequences. —Jason Buchanan

Awful characters, attitudes and motivations made it hard to love and I'm not talking about Mandy Lane.

The execution wasn't the problem so much as the set-up. It takes a while to get going, and it's pretty clear who's going to do the getting, but the jolt of the final 15 minutes doesn't stick, because there's not much for it to stick to. & it's a shame, because Levine & co. (esp. at the farmhouse) make this film look much better than it has any right to. A little script polish & it'd be a true "hidden gem."

Free! Free at last! Free from the shackles of employment I braved a surprisingly chilly night to catch my first screening of TIFF. I met up with the boys as we settled down for the third Midnight Madness
