A one night stand turns deadly for a college student when he sleeps with the niece of the person he is house sitting for.
What might seem like a standard film premise is given a nice horror twist. The first half is a little bit slow at times. The principal setting of Crush could have been used more effectively to create an eerie atmosphere. However, once the plot develops, Crush comes alive with energy and momentum. Crush becomes this rollercoaster ride of suspense. Emma Lung and Christopher Egan generate some fireworks with dynamic confrontational scenes. There is effective stalking scenes between protagonist and antagonist. A memorable dream sequence really hits the spot in creating tension and unease. And the finale is refreshingly unexpected.
