Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

brittanydiane This movie had a good concept, but it felt like as if they just wanted to end it quickly. They talk about the neighbors characters background, but only a little and has left the viewer to decipher the rest. I get that some movies do that, but they could've added more depth to the movie and it would've came out a lot better. It's a good movie, but you'll finish it feeling frustrated because they didn't go into detail about the characters just some snapshots which don't even explain much. I think my rating is fair at 5/10 stars because it's not terrible, but it's not the best.

stillhopeful-01454 It has some redeeming qualities but all those are cancelled out by the lame story and horrible editing. The homes are set in such a way that neither front windows can be seen from the other home. Worse, when the Volvo pulls in the driveway before her husband was found under the Mustang, there was a second car in the drive. Then as she gets out of the car, there is no second vehicle. She breaks into the house next door after breaking a window and the detective is at the door. When she talks to him, he never asks how she came by all the evidence she shows him. So many silly mistakes just enhance the difficulty in viewing it as a real thriller.

jtncsmistad It's not that "Playdate" is a bad flick. It's just so plain vanilla horror/thriller stock stuff that it makes watching paint dry seem downright rousing. The only mildly intriguing dynamic here is that evil resides mere steps away next door in this cookie-cutter L.A. burb.So how well ya know your neighbors there, huh?

essem I only watched this because I like Richard Ruccolo, who plays the dad. The dude is capable of much more than the suburban husband role he's stuck in here (and in Rita Rocks, although that was enjoyable). At least he showed physical courage when it was called for; that was nice to see.I can't tell whether my response to the drawn out slow plot was, as likely intended, anxiety or, more likely, annoyance.The "nice" family's reactions to the new neighbors, once things start to get odder and odder, are completely non-credible. Bad script. People, even nice white people in the suburbs, don't let their niceness overcome their sense of danger when their only child is involved. Twas nice to see Mr Ruccolo, even here, but if he were not in the flick, I'd have turned it off after ten minutes.
