    Storyline

    • Trivia
      When viewing the Mail Order Bride website it can be seen that they are on a YouTube video. However this "video" acts as a real website.
    • Goofs
      At the beginning, Avery states Mandy "5 years ago, she moved here from San Francisco." Yet, a few minutes later Kaley says "This is our last year together before we all go off to college. We've been friends since the third grade" So they are in 12th grade. Now if Mandy moved here "5 years ago", that means she didn't meet them until 7th grade.
    • Quotes

      Avery: It's been seven months and no one has seen or heard from Kaley. The police found nothing in John's stuff that would tell them who the men were that took her. They believe he found them on the Darknet but that's all they know. Suddenly, everyone was so interested in John; who he was, why he did what he did.

      [softly chuckles]

      Avery: People become more interested in you after you do something horrible.

    Although not the best movie ever made, this one has wisdom beyond its time. There is a clever and debatable shift of villainy from the ruthless prank of the girls to the victim who takes revenge to extremes. It clearly labels the initial prank as wrong, yet within the course of retaliation for the main character we viewers want to see at least two of the three girls survive. Kaley was clearly the instigator and even displays unusual arrogance while in captivity. Her movie-ending fate is surprising yet perhaps appropriate.

    Another note is that John, the avenging captor, during one scene delivers a brief monologue containing words which sound as if they were coming from the mouth of Elliot Rodger, the UCLA Santa Barbara mass murderer of 2014 who left behind a lengthy manifesto after taking the lives of six people and killing himself. His actions are not to be condoned, yet some of the lessons learned from his posthumous expression of thought are understandable and the tale of this movie seems to subtly reflect them.

    Nice to see Alexandra Paul in another Lifetime movie too. I will always remember her from "Christine" way back when.

    Repeats of "The Bride He Bought Online" and worth watching, and perhaps more worth noting.
