Girl at the Window

Girl At The Window was an entertaining slasher/thriller with a few elements of horror added in. The acting was top notch, especially from the always reliable Vince Colosimo and Radha Mitchell. Ella Newton is likeable enough and James MacKay brings the goods as the deranged serial killer. I also loved the musical score, it added a sense of fun to the film despite the fact that it is a slasher. A young girl suspects her next door neighbour is a serial killer called the Clockwork Killer. He also happens to be dating her mother. There are some very tense scenes and a couple of nice scares, especially in a couple of bedroom scenes when the girl thinks she sees the killer lurking in a dark corner of the bedroom. I liked the way the movie built up the creep factor while still keeping it a slasher movie. This is a great movie to watch if you are in the mood for a thriller/slasher movie.

I honestly have no idea why this movie is rated so poorly. The plot was good, the acting was good, and the surprise twist was good. Honestly, I think people have been spoiled by all the trash TikTok videos or something. There is no way this movie should be reviewed and starred so badly. It held my attention to the surprising and excellent ending. I guess some people don't understand the category of psychological mysteries/thrillers/horror. I did suspect who was the killer early on in the movie, but the writers threw out some excellent red herrings. I wanted the main character to be the final girl.... I was rooting for her. I don't believe in giving spoilers, so I'll just leave the ending for you to discover. Recommended!

This movie gets a hard time from reviewers but as thrillers go, I rate it better than sixty percent of what I've watched. It did keep me guessing and there were a couple of proper scary moments thrown in. The acting was pretty good overall, most characters were convincing and it had a fairly strong plot that admittedly could have been fleshed out more. On the negative side, the serial killer is rather unconvincing and the police failure to find him also. All in all as a thriller fan, I was pleasantly surprised having read some pretty terrible reviews. So I would recommend giving it a go. If you don't agree then you can thumbs down this review.
