Driven and intense aspiring violinist Jude (a strong and sympathetic portrayal by Katherine Hughes) preps for the biggest performance of her career. However, Jude can't get over the mysterious death of previous top violinist Emily Forster.

While director Robert Shaye manages to craft a decent amount of quietly sinister atmosphere, he crucially fails to generate any essential tension and the story basically meanders until the rushed climax. Moreover, the story attempts one twist too many that quite simply doesn't work. Worse yet, one particular twist is one of those oldest twists in the book that's just all kinds of lame and dissatisfying. Fortunately, the game cast do their best with the lackluster material, with especially praiseworthy work from Giles Matthey as the dashing Dave, Sonoya Mizuno as the sassy Sarah, Kyanna Simone Simpson as the perky Veronica, Bryan Batt as demanding teacher Murphy, and John Kroft as unfaithful boyfriend Ben. Lin Shaye has a fun cameo as a crazy homeless lady. A strictly so-so timekiller.

I just watched this movie totally random, and I don't find it that pretty decent. 3.7 stars? Really? Give this movie a chance, because it's not really that bad. I rate it 6 because it really did have something interesting about it. It was not perfect, but the idea was pretty good. It could have been executed better though.

Jude (Katherine Hughes) aspires to be a violinist who can win the FAC fellowship. Emily Foster (Jordan Salmon) the previous winner fell off a building in the opening scene. Jude lives with two other co-eds and a couple of guys live next door. Everything is fairly normal except there is some stalking going on and Things become confused and unclear as we weave into the twisted ending. The producers of this film also did 'Nightmare on Elm Street." They managed to plug that film in this one.

The film felt too much like a made-for-TV production including commercial breakpoints. Nice twist at the end, but the story and plot don't hook.
