Paradise Cove

POSITIVES…

  • Has a simple enough premise that manages to play on a lot of people’s fears. Good job. 

  • Harkens back to those modestly budgeted suspense dramas from the ‘80s and ‘90s about a dangerous individual terrorizing a couple. If you’re in the mood for that, then this just might be perfect for you.

  • Slow methodical pacing that builds up that suspenseful tension. 

  • Kristin Bauer van Straten is fantastic as Bree! Intimidating and scary as needed to be. 

  • Todd Grinnell is great as Knox. The guy you just want to yell “what the hell are you thinking?!” and at the same time hope he gets himself out of this predicament. 

  • Speaking of getting out of a predicament. Mena Suvari is excellent as Tracey. Very sympathetic and a character you can’t help but root for. 

  • Seeing just how much chaos and damage Bree is able to do in this movie, will compel you more than enough to see how this plays out. 

  • Terrifying story indeed. You’re going to be glad you’re watching it as a movie, and not living it in real life.

NEGATIVES…

  • Yes, it’s a bit familiar, and there are the usual expected cliches. 

  • Some conveniences and conceits that’s kinda cheating. 

  • Certain unbelievable plot moments that just boggles the mind. 

  • There are some positively stupid decisions made that might frustrate you too much. 

  • Ending might not be as satisfying as you might hope it would be.
