“I promise you I’ll be safe this weekend…”

Girl Gone Bad released on demand on July 11th 2023. The home-invasion horror film stars Alison Thornton, Mya Lowe, and Alex Zahara. It runs for approximately 92 minutes.

Samantha plans a romantic weekend for her girlfriend, but when an intruder breaks in, a deadly game of cat-and-mouse ensues.

Here is the trailer:

Girl Gone Bad takes an overdone premise and puts a unique spin on things to shake things up, but does it do enough to be worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Starts off with a bang.

There was not much waiting around in this film at all. There was minimal fluff and we got right to the violence. I personally love when films start off like this. The initial pacing was great and there were a few gruesome moments worth nothing.

Cute spin on the home invasion genre.

This film wasn’t afraid to take a risk with its twist and I thought it was fairly interesting. Some things were really far-fetched, but I’m all for a film breaking outside the box of a genre to try something else to keep the audience invested.

The Cons:

One-dimensional dialogue.

This really needed some serious attention. It was painful to listen to at times and repetitive. I was honestly expecting a lot more here. The actors were decent enough and did the best with what they were given, however.

Goes off track fast…

While this film started off with a lot of potential, it quickly ran out of steam and lost direction. I’m not sure what happened here, but it’s almost like the film forgot its intention and just started filling time for the hell of it. Don’t get me wrong…there were some really entertaining moments, but I think this film could have been a lot better if it had made some improvements with the progression of the plot.

So am I in or out?

I’m 50/50 on this one…

Girl Gone Bad had a few killer twists, but it lost its way as the film progressed. Either way, if you’re looking for a quick “movie of the week” to fill your time, there’s enough here to enjoy.
