Kristy opens with an instantly satisfying theme of murder and mystery. The deft editing, sharp sound production and grim territory suggest an interesting thriller, and no complaints about the brunette jumping around in their underpants either.
Haley Bennett (Justine) isn’t just a cute butt, but also puts on a pretty good display, as tormenting forces beyond her control drive her to desperation and misery. Sadly, their skill is wasted in an hour-long game of cat and mouse in mundane urban world where every character has the personality of a stereotype, and whoever did the eyeliner got to be the storyliner.
The production is admittedly impressive and convincing, with careful lighting design and camera ability in nearly every frame; and the soundtrack is a powerful force of balance, versatile enough to command both composure and panic. A lot of skill and money was put into its composition.
But in terms of creativity, Kristy is completely bankrupt of ideas, offers no suspense, and becomes too obviously cosmetic to take seriously. Maybe these guys would be better off doing makeup commercials.
