Jason H A mild but entertaining horror film. This would be a good one to show someone who isn't familiar with the genre, Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/24/25 Full Review Melissa L Kind of cheesy, but I liked the ending. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/02/25 Full Review James M Not the best horror movie but it's nostalgic for me Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review Audience Member This Movie Simply SHOULD NOT WORK. There are so many plots, and they're all trite and thinly drawn, and they clash horribly with each other tonally. -One half of the film deals with a bereft woman listening to a cassette containing FORTY-FIVE MINUTES of plot exposition while Adam West's toupee lurks meekly just off-camera. -Meanwhile, the world's smallest sorority is going to be hazing the heck out of their new pledge. But first. we need a dating montage of our young lovers breying at each othe laughing at each other like donkeys on bumper cars for SEVEN ENTIRE MINUTES. And so we are getting literally zero plot or character development for 75% of the movie. (I credit Tom Mcloughlin for creating a group of teenagers who literally do not exist anywhere, They don't look like normal teens. They certainly don't talk like normal teens. They're stuck in this weird adultless world, speaking slang so clunky and dated it's almost like Shakespearean verse. Their conflicts and carrying on is like something off a bad sitcom and just juvenile. BUT...they're all consistant. These actresses are committed to making this bizarre sanitized but sleazy underage sex/hard drugs/NO CUSSING world as real as they could, that, what the heck? Pass me a Demerol and call me a Nerdlebrain, I'm oddly on board, despite absolutely NOTHING happening.... Until the last 15 minutes. Then all bets are off. The final reel is shockingly disturbing and unsettling slime dripping corpse-a-Poppin' nightmare that is so horrifying, it almost seems to be from a different movie. But it's not. I think had the beginning not been so pedestrian, and these doomed girls were more fleshed out characters, the final moments of the film would have been too devastating. But instead, all these seemingly incongruous parts in their own weird way fit together quite brilliantly, making this Movie That Should Not Work incredibly effective. (HOW DID THIS GET A PG RATING!??!) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review delysid d horrible movie, unless you love to see realistic portrayals of obnoxious sorotiry sisters Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/18 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good Poe type of story. It's more of a horror flick for a younger generation, but as such it's quite effective. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
