Honestly I wasn't expecting much from this film going into it. I assumed it'd just be a typical silly "grousome" horror for teens.

However I was pleasantly surprised. Though it was very off putting when the main girl broke the fourth wall in the beginning, giving a typical "I'm not like other girls cos I'm like... rude and cool and sassy" speech, they managed to win me over soon after.

The topics of the film are rather mature and unexpected, such as dealing with grief and the fragility of life. But on the other hand it does manage to stay lighthearted and kind of quirky/funny as well.

I did overall enjoy the experience however I do wish they weren't so in-your-face with the messaging, I understand that the target audience were teens, but I really don't think they have to hear the moral of the story explained like five times to understand, especially since it's not exactly a complicated conclusion.

I'm usually all for BLs and I tend to be less "stict" when I critique them. I don't mind the bad acting, clichés, the cheesiness or the kind of random plot lines that kind of come out of nowhere.

However unfortunately this film lacked all the good qualities of the genre.

The catchers were incredibly blend, we knew little to nothing about them or why they like each other (besides their shared passion for music). The story wasn't intense or exciting not even in the way the most "basic" BLs tend to be.

The first half was quite alright, but instead of building on them in the second half, they just decided to fill it up with incredibly long scenes where basically nothing happens. We watch the main characters talking to each other, with music playing underneath, but we may never know what they talk about or in what way they manage to bond.

The story was nothing unexpected or new, which is fine, but we get nothing in exchange, no extraordinary chemistry or comedy or character building, nothing. The second half basically feels like the longest music video I've ever seen.

I'm only giving it a 3, because I did enjoy the first half to an extent and the music was alright, but I definitely don't recommend watching it, unless you really just want to put something on in the background while you do something else because even then, every time you glance at the screen, you'd know exactly what's going on.
