A teen thriller stripped entirely of complexity and sense, Strange but True manages to deliver an entertaining and harmless flick that shoots for the same psychological heights as Gone Girl but ends up hitting 13 Reasons Why levels of melodrama.

What's strange is that anyone thought this movie was worth making. It's a thriller with no thrills, almost no action and even less tension. What it does have is a strong cast, but who wants to see good actors going to waste?

Strange But True boasts a neat premise. But the initially taut thriller takes an unexpected tonal shift into overwrought suspense, losing some of its claustrophobic domestic tension along the way.
