Editor Phil Bucci shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.

Pretty face, boring character = less than ok movie. This is a revenge-torture-porn movie for assault victims. Nothing more. Sex n'gore bore. There is absolutely no character development of the main person. This is a person you cannot identify with, unless you are a crazy bag of cats. The rape-on-campus-issue is only barely adressed. Embarrassing for such an important subject. The rapists are evil egoists and party-drunks, and the victims only whimpers (and dress provocatively?? WTF). Bad vs. good. or more likely: wimpering Bratz-dolls vs. Football-braindeads Not recommendable for a critical audience. Maybe pot-heads and genetic degenerates.

I assume the tile acronym is the shorthand for Master of Fine Arts, but I really hope it stands for Men's Frights Activist. Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
