Carla Hay Culture Mix Aug 12, 2024
A very unnecessary remake of the 2022 thriller of the same name. In this story about a serial killer whose targets include teenage bullies, the 2024 sloppily edited version of the movie has ridiculous plot twists with exaggerated acting. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Sam Quah's own remake is a riveting, though sometimes overwrought thriller. Go to Full Review
Ellen E Jones Observer (UK) Aug 5, 2024
3/5
There are tonally jarring comic caricatures... These, plus an abundance of suspenseful set pieces and proper plot twists, keep us adequately entertained. Unless, of course, you’ve already seen the 2022 original. Go to Full Review

Robert O Aug 2, 2024 Slow developing story. But decent ending. Don’t need to see it in the movie theater. See more The P. @Punisher76 Feb 23, 2026 Right to the action. Dark revenge movie. Lots of twists and turns. Surprisingly great ending. A must see. See more Dean L @RT16425658 Nov 9, 2024 What a complete waste of time! The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one was the unexpected twist in the mid-credits scene. I'll give them credit for that. But as for the rest of the show... let's just say, if I had seen this in theaters, I would have marched straight to the ticket counter demanding a refund! I picture a group of writers brainstorming, each throwing out plot twists left and right in a desperate attempt to earn some free boba tea, and then deciding to include every single idea in the movie. Not only did this make the show drag on unnecessarily, but it came across as painfully forced. After all the so-called "surprises"... the real shock was how this show managed to snag the number 3 spot on Netflix! Just think of all the people deceived into wasting two hours of their lives! See more j F @RT31612624 Nov 8, 2024 Hard to follow and extreme violent scenes of girls being bullied. The movie had little redeeming value. See more RiversFlo T @RT75812151 Oct 9, 2024 An engaging movie for me. I haven't even heard of the 2022 version so it was entirely new to me. I found the development of the plot unpredictable and suspenseful. It's an affective way for Sam Quah to have a social dialogue with social about the serious and severely damaging issue school bullying has on victims, their families and the bullies themselves.
