About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a teen slasher with a rumor-gone-wrong hook, steady suspense, and some twists, in the vein of The Skeleton Key; Not for you if you need heavy gore or can’t stand smug, cliché characters.
Pros: fun premise; suspenseful set pieces; decent pace | Cons: predictable twists; uneven acting; low gore
