This amoral film turns elements of horror inside out while depicting a particularly relevant and contemporary view of teenage sexuality. The image of boys, girls, men and women all leering at the gorgeous and perfect Mandy Lane is a repugnant dismissal of our obsession with youth and beauty the our wish to deflower that perfection. ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE is an exciting and insightful film that is quite beautifully directed and shot. A wonderful surprise. Bravo!… Expand

Although a fan of the genre I didn't enjoy this movie. Amber Heard plays the part very well but something seem to be lacking and it becomes just another slasher movie with a bit of a twist.

I waited forever to find this movie, and I'm so glad I did, it was a great flick with the ever so beautiful "Amber Heard" as the lead, and she does an amazing job.

While this movie kind of borders on the edge of becoming just another teen slasher, but it never quite falls down to that point which is a good thing. The best touch of all was the great ending. Definitely glad I hunted this one down to add to my movie collection.… Expand

All The Boys Love Mandy Lane has a reason to go down as a VOD cheap horror flick, it also has a reason to go down as Jonathan Levine's worst films.

In an era of sex and rock 'n' roll- All The Boys Love Mandy Lane is a horror mixed genre movie! There is sex and and nudity A LOT OF IT. and there is drugs, parties, romance and cheap blood effects with a slasher horror atmosphere. Of course, films like Hostel and Vacancy have tried this experience and have sadly failed in the making. But the product that Mandy Lane holds is that it's not scary at all. If you are a coward- never mind, bro. Amber Heard is hot, and all the other actors make it feel like a gongshow! Really man, horror slasher flicks like Scream and Halloween succeeded but why Mandy Lane? WHY!!!????? I really gave this a two because that ghoulish sex and blood feeling touched and AMBER HEARD'S ACTING. The verdict you say? Watch it ONLINE. Only if you're still psyched about drugs and sexual horror and lesbians.… Expand

Shock is not the only key factory for this movie, but it is Mandy Lane's character, pure who tends to stay limited, not doing any drugs or any sex, different from other teenagers. But the ending that truly sets the film for being one of the better horror movies this year, it is although predictable throughout and similar to other slasher horror movies, it is twisted and new, it can become a cult classic… Expand

After a long wait (and a whole lot of complications), "All the Boys Love Mandy Lane" was finally released and the wait wasn't worth it.

To put it simply, the movie is boring and the story wants to be a teen slasher from the 70s and 80s but it doesn't feel like putting in the effort--the twist ending is painfully obvious before the first teen gets slashed. Additionally, the film just looks sloppy. While I get they are going for the grindhouse, low-budget look but with an already lazy style and lifeless actors, it makes the film look cheap rather than an homage to something like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre." Finally, the actors are just absolutely terrible. Amber Heard is lifeless and isn't providing any rhyme or reason for why her character Mandy Lane is so desired by every man who sees them. Heard thinks playing the part of a girl that everyone wants means just smiling sheepishly and playing with your hair but, in the end, she just looked like a cardboard cut-out that the rest of the actors just pretended was actually there...but the movie will try to compensate for that by constantly filming her in slo-mo and making sure the sun is shining behind her and I guess that means she's hot. In the end, "Mandy Lane" is just boring and its laziness is very apparent.… Expand

All The Boys Love Mandy Lane is nothing but a white-trash remake of every prime horror film. Amber Heard is a decent actress, and she is the only actress to really do the film any good, everyone else either can't act for crap, or they just seem uninterested. One thing in the film I absolutely hated was the look of the film; it looks like they just found some old horror flick from the early 70's and just put it theaters without remastering it. The gritty look of the film was both disgusting and distracting, and overall the film's biggest flaw, right next to the acting.

The film is directed by Jonathan Levine, who is actually a very good director, director of such titles as The Wackness and 50/50, but he was just too early in his career for this film, everyone was. It's not worth going to a theater for the expierience, just watch it on YouTube like I did, I give it a 4/10… Expand

The more IBefore you can even say "All the Boys Love Mandy Lane", the film falls sharply into the pitfalls of horror clichés, and never recovers. It is a catalogue of bad actors reading from a bad script, performing formulaic death scenes. The more I watched, the more frustrated I became with the film, and I became even more frustrated with the modern-day horror genre as a whole.

The film conforms to the usual dull premise of any other horror film or slasher flick: a bunch of drugged-up, alcoholic, sex-obsessed sluts and man-whores, with occasionally one withdrawn character - usually and in this case female - who becomes the focal point of the piece. Each of the other characters are picked off one at a time. I mean, surely this isn't meant to be scary. We aren't supposed to feel sympathy for the characters. The film is designed in order to give the audience a big cheer when one of the sluts or man-whores meets his or her well-deserved demise. If the film was truly scary, it would feature well-meaning, innocent humans to whom bad things happen. But no, we have to sit and watch completely unlikeable people, whose stupidity and unpleasantness leads them to an end that nobody even cares about. What's the point?

On the somewhat positive side, this films offers an interesting twist towards the end of the film, before taking it one twist too far and driving the script back into nonsense, and the scenery certainly is beautiful. But that's it. And trust me, these two positives pale significantly in comparison to the vast list of negatives. Don't watch it.… Expand

This is, roughly, the theme of this film, where a teenager girl seduces several boys with rather dubious intentions. Nothing new, therefore. It's just another teen movie, full of sexual cues (direct or veiled), violence and stereotypical characters that exist only to die. What I don't understand is why Mandy Lane appears as an irresistible and seductive woman when, in fact, she is just a girl who loves to tease the boys. Do boys love being treated like idiots? The movie tries to surprise at the end with a plot twist, but the attentive viewer already foresaw it for some time. Amber Heard is excellent at her character and could have done better if she had received more dense and consistent material to work with. The rest of the cast is on the borderline between the acceptable and the mediocre. This film lacked a better development of the plot and the characters, so it all seems a bit meaningless.… Expand

I just recently watched this genre-defying (or subversive, if you will) cult classic and I have to say that I'd rate it among the most underrated slasher/psycho-thriller/mystery thriller/teen horror movies of all time. I mean, there's so muchI just recently watched this genre-defying (or subversive, if you will) cult classic and I have to say that I'd rate it among the most underrated slasher/psycho-thriller/mystery thriller/teen horror movies of all time. I mean, there's so much to like about this The-Virgin-Suicides-meets-Texas-Chainsaw-Massacre movie but almost nothing to hate about it.

For instance, Amber Heard alone and her outstanding performance are a huge and singular reason to love this movie and rate it way above average. Her delicate balancing act between 'shy, naïve, and reserved' and 'stoic, smart, and powerful' in Mandy Lane's persona is quite frankly award-worthy. As so is the beauty and air of mystery that she imbues the movie with from beginning to end.

Another plus for the movie is its subversion of common slasher horror tropes (plenty of examples in other reviews of the movie so I won't list them here). The movie's exploration of common school and teen social problems in the US like school shootings, body image issues, sexist stereotypes and gender-based double standards, and suicide in an entertaining yet memorable and serious way is also commendable.

Its setting, cinematography, editing, sound, and costumes are also praiseworthy in their own rights. Also praiseworthy is its gender and racial representation. The only problem that I noted with the movie is there being several continuity errors that, nevertheless, do not substract anything from its appeal. Finally, notice how Jacob Forman (writer) and Jonathan Levine's (director) creativity shows in, for example, their subtle inclusion of elements in the movie that build Emmet's character (played by Michael Welch) around one of the Columbine High School shooters. It baffles me how most people seem to miss this after they've watched the movie.

I'd recommend this movie to all horror fans and every other person that loves a good teen or psycho-thriller or mystery movie. I'd also recommend it to Amber Heard fans because her lead actress debut performance in this movie demonstrates why she's the A-list actress that she is.… Expand

This was not a bad movie. Mandy Lane portrays to be a saint, because she does not drink, sleep around and do drugs, but she turns out to be a killer with her friend.
