“Do you remember how I died”
- Moria
So much yelling. Not completely awful, just some scenes that felt forced in and out of place.

Unrelentingly grim and nasty. Not without style, but this is a mostly boring revenge trek.
I found this film extremely boring and full of teenage angst. Nothing really happens, just a guy that's being bullied who gets what he asks for and then whines. Arse biscuits!
Uugh... that didn't turn out as expected.
I guess this it is partly my fault as I usually avoid details about a movie before I watch it but due to boredom hit up a review from Fangoria via IMDB anyways. I'm once again reminded that the bigger horror sites nowdays seem to be very prone to shilling... This certainly wasn't the contemporary horror masterpiece they promised:
But for many, there remained a glimmer of hope that the subgenre would find an original, engrossing story that would act as an adrenaline shot to the dying heart of the slasher. And now, that film has been found with Adam Egypt Mortimer’s SOME KIND OF HATE, which, under the right circumstances, could hit contemporary audiences with a brutal, cringe-inducing and legitimately frightening rush in the same way Freddy Krueger did over 30 years ago.
The movie makes bullying it's central theme which is totally new and contemporary... the really misscast emo metalhead gets sent to a reform school for fighting back against his bully - disregarding the fact that this shit was recorded and that his blood is on the ground too. Rest assured that the esoteric school lead by a guru, a weird nobody and the "hot" gym teacher in the middle of the dessert isn't free of that either.
Instead of doing something about the new bully the MC deceides to wish everyone dead in an abadoned cellar where that gets heard by the ghost of a girl who cut open her veins. Bla bla bla, revenge on everyone up to "I DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE" x2...
The movie unfortunatly isn't blessed with tension and you would be hard pressed to give a damn about anyone. You're left with the money shot only. The killing mechanics for this are actually not that bad but it never follows up a certain angle shown early on leaving the ghost to be a major annoyance only.
I might be rather harsh on this but the social commentary is merly a plot device and the same movie wants to get empathy for a guy who dreams of crushing everyone's skull with a tank when he listens to metal (did anyone ever do that really?) and steals back his phone to impress his crush with his playlist for her of doom and death metal (she might have black hair but she was a cheerleader..).

Catching up before it's leaving Shudder. The film follows Lincoln, a victim of relentless bullying who is sent to a reform school after he finally stood out for himself. Once he's in there, the harassment starts all over again. But things start to change after he accidentally summons the spirit of a girl named Moira, who was driven to suicide by vicious bullying years ago, as she takes vengeance on his tormentors. But when she goes too far, Lincoln must prevent her from spiraling out of control. It's a supernatural slasher / revenge tale. I admit that this film is far from great. It suffers from pacing issues, the message is a bit clunky, and it has a problematic approach to the subject of self-harm. Despite the flaws, I can appreciate the anti-bullying commentary in here. As a slasher, it does have some nice qualities to it. The concept is very unique with interesting villain, lots of gruesome moments, and highly inventive kills. They also did a great job with the tone of the film. The amount of scenes involving self harm makes it difficult to watch.
