About
You’ll like this if you enjoy meta slasher fun with lots of suspense and a college setting, like the fun of Scream and New Nightmare; Not for you if you want fully original scares or a tightly paced finale.
Pros: sharp meta-horror tone; strong early tension; memorable cast return | Cons: dragged middle; weak motivation logic; uneven finale payoff
