The jokey title an cheesey cover are belies a much darker film. There are some good ideas and some well executed set pieces but it is long for what it is. Could have been a much leaner film and that would probably have been more effective. The main actors are good (though Eugenie Liu's character is redundant, and was probably only included as enticement) and the take on 'who are the real monsters?' is pretty well handled, given the characters are school children. But the script needed a really good trim.
it is still to boring to watch!
Liked it. Interesting exploration of the theme.
this is boring to watch in the first place!
Spoilers, so going into watching this I don't know why I was expecting something charming and light hearted and it ended up being quite brutal violent and disturbing in parts. However it was very refreshing unique and original and I absolutely loved it, characters were not all likeable. As the movie went on I realized it wasn't going to be anything i thought it would be but it manages to take a interesting take on karma with horror elements. I felt bad for boy who was being bullied as he is the only character you will root for in this movie and the ending had me cheering for him, you'll know when u see the ending. Had good gore and kills and the two monsters themselves were believable and scary, certain scenes had me cringing hard just thinking what the hell is the point of doing that. Guy in store who was challenged was another one i felt for, it's very rare a film can surprise me as this one did and end up being something so different and out there not only shock me but disturb me and have me loving the ending but this one did . Just a great watch that was a real treat.
