Scream Girls

From the description of the film I expected Scream Girls to be about a group of teens working together to fight an evil spirit, the film is not that.

The film mostly follows the troubled young Koaru who is bullied relentlessly by her classmates, and beaten by her abusive father. At some point early on in the film, Koaru's friends abandon her to join in the torment of her bullies, with the only explanation being that they wish to avoid bullying themselves.

Not a lot of supernatural stuff happens in the film. At one point a ghost peeks through a door, and one is maybe seen in a field... I think that sums most of it up.

The sound effects were silly at times, and the camera and lighting didn't produce a supernatural atmosphere so much as it did a dreary poorly lit one. The plot was rather thin, with nothing brought to the table in terms of suspense, mystery, or twists.

All in all the film was rather unremarkable, kind of boring. Because of its lack of "bad" but also lack of anything good it gets a 4 out of 10 from me.
