You’re less likely to enjoy this the further away you are from its target audience.
It leans more towards the Saw side than the Scream side of teenage horror; it’s really vapid and witless.
A little less edgy and angsty perhaps, and it uses more of a goth aesthetic, but still so much of it feels contrived and cliché nevertheless.
Some interesting visual ideas here and there, but also a lot of wonky acting, cheesy dialogue, uninteresting characters, awkward pacing, odd editing choices and underlit scenes (yes, I did take into account that this is a horror movie).
It manages to build some scary atmosphere at points (props for not relying on jump scares), however I never felt completely engaged by it.
Maybe that’s due to me not being the target audience, but then again we also just got Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, which is a lot better and you should probably watch instead.
4/10
