Extracurricular

Last half of the movie is so dark you can barely see. It's not ominous when filmed that way. Just really irritating. The movie had zero point. And the ending is so unrealistic it's a joke.

Home invasion films are easily the scariest of all genre films due to their inherent realism. The characters in this film are too clever by half. Clearly this movie was inspired by the truly horrifying "Funny Games" and the masterful performances therein.That said, "FG" os a hard film to stomach, as is the also fantastic French film "Inside". Using a car analogy, this film would be taking a 1989 Ford Mustang to the aforementioned being a shiny new Bugatti. The Mustang is a great film if you are a new driver and want to take a girl out on a Friday night date. The Bugatti is a car if you want a supermodel to have your number on speed dial.

Useless cops, stupid adults, treacherous teens, only reason I watched to the end was to see who gets caught and how. Pretty shabby. Not recommended for horror or thriller fans, or fans of good movies.

I need to know if there is any one using the shower because I need one after this film. Let me first say, I am a huge horror movie fan and have watched some pretty gross stuff. In other horror movies you get to suspend reality for an hour and half and take a joyride into horror. This film do not let you suspend those thoughts but drags me deeper in. Maybe this film was successful making it seem to be a plausible reality. Extracurricular made me question kids under 18 and how they view human life. I watched this movie to the end and thought. I wasn't ready for this. Maybe this would be rewarding to other horror fans but left me emotionally wrecked .

The premise of the movie was not convoluted, it was pretty straight forward. A group of teens who like to kill. There was no hidden agenda, no revenge killings, no sad backstory. I appreciate that is was just some friends who liked to kill (because some sick people do irl).

I thought the movie was smart and reminded me of Murder by Numbers. They didn't care much for human life, but for the most part, cared for eachother. The relationship between the two sons and their father showed that even well loved children go astray in the most macabre ways.

Spencer MacPherson, as younger brother Ian, stole the show. I wanted so badly for him to be the last man standing. Even though I wasn't thrilled with the who, I was ok with the ending. I enjoyed the movie and felt it was a fresh slasher film, especially of late. Sometimes blood and gore doesn't make the movie, and while this one does have its moments, it also has a pretty good storyline.
