Nightmare on Film Street

At the very least, Extracurricular is daring. It's unfriendly, mean-spirited, and unlike other teen horrors coming out nowadays. It's a risky venture that forgoes a key element that makes any film memorable—emotion.

Rated: 6/10

Dark, morbid teen horror with lots of blood, gore, murder.

Rated: 2/5

Wicked Horror

Dark, funny, thrilling, and loaded with YA menace, this is a refreshingly modern take on typical slasher tropes that sticks the landing without having to go anywhere near the big dance.

Rated: 8/10

Shadows on the Wall

Director Ray Xue establishes a dark and very serious tone while keeping things authentic with offhanded interaction and complex character detail.

Rated: 3/5

A dreary and flat exploration of teens killing teens; given the taboo topic, Extracurricular could have been so much better.

Rated: 2/5

if these four high-achieving, middle-class kids are more than happy to exploit, objectify & assassinate strangers for their own kicks, then we are left to wonder what they are capable of doing to their friends, their loved ones and each other.

Ending was absolutely trash. The movie was slow and boring and I kept rooting for the poor victims to do something other than cry, but they didn't. And Jenny really got away with killing all her friends (and boyfriend) at the end because the plan wasn't working. I despised this movie. Save yourself the time and skip this one.

Really good watch, could watch again, and can recommend. There really aren't enough movies where the villains are the protagonist. These are all awful characters that are also killers so it's hard to root for them. I can't tell if it is poor performance from the actors or badly written characters, but this is clearly written by someone with a love of true crimes and tactical assessment. It is really impressive with the work put in to make the planned executions believable and how twisted the events get.

Potential to be great, parts of the movie promise lots, but that ending...woof. It felt like the writers, producers and director were desperate to get to the wrap party and just decided "hey guys, the buffet is getting cold, let's just call it a day". What a waste of potential. Eurgh.

I kept waiting for some sort of reveal as to why the characters were doing what they were doing.... nada. Just a bunch of upper-middle class, entitled, American teenagers, with too much time on their hands. The lack of motivation made this movie incredibly boring. I'd like my time back, please.
