A Back Stabbingly Beautiful film, 15 January 2007
9/10
Author: Darkangel2 from United Kingdom

It's like having your cake and eating it, then paying for it, with guilt. This delicious and dark teenage drama is about pursuing a sexual agenda. These teenagers crave control over their peers, seduction is their game, popularity is their aim and in too deep, is what they became.

This is a gorgeous and sexy film, there's a packed all-star cast on the absolute top of their game, with a knock out sound track these actors have set the bar for stylish teen dramas very high, Gellar, Reese, and Selma sizzle as the three projects of the suave good looking Sebastian. Who will prove hardest to get?, who is innocent?, and who has cruel intentions?.
