Masquerade

Masquerade pulls off this final act of subterfuge just well enough that I do believe some will come away suitably shocked and impressed - and maybe that's enough for this one to warrant a mild recommendation.

Its dumb plot ends with an even dumber twist.

Masquerade sticks too closely to the home invasion formula for too long, unable to muster any suspense along the way until a confusing third act.

There’s a lot to admire about Masquerade, which certainly makes excellent use of the French Riviera, but its pacing, tone, and screenplay are lacking

Masquerade is a trashy film with a gimmicky twist ending that tries to put a different spin on 'home invasion' horror movie stereotypes. However, the movie's conclusion misses the mark because it's a half-baked and sloppily executed idea.

Masquerade tries to hide all of its flaws, but you can see them right from the start.

Sharpen your plot pokers, because you're gonna put dozens of holes in this dismally executed premise.

Thorne continues to be a presence on screen and rarely feels like she's phoning in any of her performances.

While the filmmaker has planned for the general scheme of what happens, he barely gives a thought to the specifics.

This bargain-bin thriller largely fails at generating much suspense and succeeds mainly at raising questions about its characters' capabilities and its bizarre, baffling "final twist."
