Rating - 6.1:
Overall, it is very much your typical teen horror movie as it follows almost every trope to a tee, but it is still entertaining.
Direction - Decent:
The direction is your generic horror teen movie drama, though it does build tension decently well considering the story is somewhat interesting
Story - Pretty Bad to Decent:
The concept is somewhat interesting, but on a macro scale is pretty generic; the plot structure is your typical teen movie horror movie structure, but the epilogue was unnecessary; character writing is fine, I just didn't really care about these characters besides the lead because it's just templated characters
Screenplay - Pretty Bad:
The dialogue is your typical teen horror movie dialogue; The humor is your typical teen horror movie dialogue; The symbolism is pretty shallow; The foreshadowing is somewhat present, but is also a bit predictable
Acting - Pretty Bad to Decent:
Dafne Keen - Decent (Plays her role decently well, but there does not feel like too much depth or range), Sophie Nélisse - Decent (Plays her role decently well; has decent chemistry with Keen), Sky Yang - Pretty Bad (Typical teen movie performance by someone who is clearly not a teen; this dude is 26), Jhaleil Swaby - Pretty Bad (Typical teen movie performance by someone who is clearly not a teen, this dude is 26), Ali Skovbye - Pretty Bad (Typical white chick performance in a teen horror movie, I also can't tell whether she was mean or nice), Percy Hynes White - Pretty Bad to Decent (Plays the typical bad guy in a teen horror movie; isn't necessarily bad, but is just very forced), Michelle Fairley - Decent (Basically, a cameo), Nick Frost - Decent to Pretty Good (Dude, why are you in this movie; I kind of gasped and pointed to the screen when I saw him), Rest of the cast - Pretty Bad (What you expect from a teen horror movie going straight to streaming; this does not count any child actors, but this movie is basically mid-20-year-olds acting like they're in high school)
Score - Decent
Cinematography - Decent
Editing - Decent
Visual Effects - Pretty Bad:
Felt a little tacky and of its budget
Pacing - Pacing is fine but a little bit on the slower side; it could have shaved five minutes to make it tighter
Climax - Climax is entertaining, but the epilogue was completely unnecessary and kind of ruined the movie
Tone - Tone is very much like your low-budget teen horror movie
Final Notes - Saw world premiere at Fantastic Fest.
