Research Paper On Desterbia

Desterbia, one of the better films that I’ve seen in a long time. Is also a go to movie that I use to show a nice light to thriller transition in films. I believe is up there with some of my favorite movies. I have high ratings for it, but many other reviewers think otherwise. On rotten tomatoes, it was rated a 69/100. That is something that I really don’t agree with. This film has great transition between genres, and it does it well. I believe is better than it is credit for.

The transiton from comedy to thriller is really done well. I liked the whole young teen acting like a teen that went on was really nice, and also the mystery about the neighbor next door. An intriguing part about it is that you can mistake it for a romance/comedy if you’ve never seen the trailers for it, and if haven’t you’ll never see the twist later. Really didn’t expect much about before I watched it, but I was wrong because it was good. The characters are well fleshed out specially the main character.

Very strong development for the supporting characters like the girl and Kale’s friend. All around good acting
