catfish movie suspense and humanity

This movie carries suspense very well. Timing and rhythm is pretty good, knowing deep down this fake girl on facebook is not what she is cracked up to be, the rhythm of the narrative carries you through stages that are well executed and not fully predictable. for example film gives good load to the pretense of a good facebook relationship and slowly unravels obvious items of suspicion so now the audience are fully aware that after he investigated her and viewed that the mail he sent her is still in a mail box and that the house she said she lived in wasn t the house she actually stayed in, we are compelled by the guys persistance to knock off the circumstance and still was interested especially after the enticing of her sexual comments. the film cannot drift on the pretenses forever and the narrative concedes the a dupe and a lie but victim rationalises it and stirs the narrative to new dimensions while drawing audience closer to the suspicions and reflection point where most of us would probably bail out meeting someone on internet who is a persistent liar. the first phase of movie is the build up of expectation which for me acted like a horror film, suspense plenty and freaky then it enters the unravel we know as audience phase something is up and so the driving around places we know things are not perfect and is not the prime picture so we the audience are drawn into a more curious foe rather than holding the first phase of expecttion that if the movie held would have become boring. then the driving around the unraveling shell they meet megan the mysterious facebook girls family in plenty of sequence so the movie is holding us on for that surprise that maybe now things would turn out really good, but something is still up. now mystery unravels that angelo could be megan. so a new inference level is reached and the movie to this point is rhythmic and well structured to avoid any boring parts. the ending does not have to be extremely a horror reality nor a mythical fairtale. humanity lies in between.
