Review of Bad Turn Worse (2014) by Jillian L — 17 Nov 2014

So, there was some good stuff happening here. The storyline is a little been there done that, but there's enough going on to keep it interesting. It does leave a lot more questions than it answers.

Which I know bugs some people...including me. Mackenzie Davis is the standout of the three leads. She's really interesting to watch and she also handled the writing well. It takes place in Texas, and the dialogue reflects that, and she had an easier time with it, where it sounded a little clunky on some of the other actors.

I didn't love the character B.J. I don't know what it was; writing, acting, something. It just wasn't working for me. It was a cliche character and I just wasn't digging it. But, like I said, there's some fun stuff in here.

The scene where B.J. lays out his plan but we see it as if it's happening was clever. I wish there were a few more moments like it throughout the whole thing. Mark Pellegrino was good as Giff, the villain.

The script gave his character an awkward shift from plain cruel and evil to crazy, and he dealt with it. So. Yeah. This wasn't bad. I wouldn't be rushing to see it or anything but there's something there.
