The college girl Justine (Haley Bennett) works hard to support the life at the Verse College, where she studies. In the Thanksgiving, her boyfriend Aaron (Lucas Till) travels to the house of his family and Justine stays alone in the Campus with her roommate Nicole (Erica Ash). Out of the blue, the father of Nicole invites the family to travel to Aspen and she leaves her beamer with Justine that stays alone with the security guards Wayne (Mathew St. Patrick),Dave (Al Vicente) and Scott (James Ransone). One night, Justine drives the beamer to a convenience store to buy supplies and she meets the stranger Violet (Ashley Greene) that threatens her. She returns to the Campus and soon Justine is hunted down by Violet and three hoodlums from a cult. Along the night, Justine has to fight to survive.

"Kristy" is a tense thriller with an unoriginal and predictable story with clichés that entertains. The movie has a storyline similar to "Ils" (2006),a.k.a. "Them", with a group of hoodlums frightening their victim along the night. The acting is good and the lead actress is also gorgeous. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Kristy"

Kristy is for those who like a good anarchy film. Oh not the candy-ass "The Purge" type anarchy but the rebellion against conformity anarchy as presented by Black Flag's unsettling "Family Man." "Kristy" is a generic name for a "pretty, pure, and blessed" white bread girl who believes in God. In the film they claim, "Kill Kristy and you kill God" apparently for people who saw "God's Not Dead." After they quickly establish the cult anarchist group, the delve into establishing the character of Justin Wills (Haley Bennett). She is smart and athletic excelling in science. They build her character showing us stuff that smartly plays back into the film. During Thanksgiving break, she is left alone at college in Madison Hall where the ballasts are going bad on all the fluorescent lights. Her rich girlfriend leaves her "The Bimmer" to drive. While out picking up some Ben and Jerry's comfort food, she is mistaken for a "Kristy" i.e. "pretty hair, pretty car" and becomes the target in what becomes a cat and mouse film. Unabashedly conforming to the movie formula, the group finds out Justin is no "Kristy." Decent film, if you like that kind of cat and mouse stuff. Opens itself up for an infinite amount of interesting sequels.

Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

Sometimes you are not even asked if you want to play a game. Then again, we wouldn't have a movie if you asked first, killed later. This movie is full of suspense but should also be watched with suspended disbelief. It is more than crazy what is going on and it is more than questionable how some of the characters interact or plainly speaking act.

But that should not deter you nor should it take away any of the tension of the movie. It takes a bit to build up, but once there it is a thrill ride that does not seem to stop. Logic and reason are out the window, if you can dig that, you will be entertained and frightened.
