A not very tightly written story about a mentally unwell girl in a dorm who is manipulated by her new "friends". Starts well but soon becomes a muddled mess. Only watch if you have time to kill and are really bored.

A mentally unwell student is accepted by her new dorm-mates, who transform her into a confident beauty with a mysteriously intoxicating tea. But she grows suspicious of their motives and begins to find hallucinatory evidence of something amiss.

Standard occult conspiracy horror that probably reveals its twist too early - if the emphasis on the missing student had been held back to the very end, when the protagonist has to confront her, and the confrontation had been more involved, it would have heightened the effect. And the end sequence didn't create much sense of loss. It's pretty well made by a director who seems to do mostly TV, but the sex 'n gore is tame and nobody's going to get extreme chills just from the plot, unlike say The Skeleton Key, which shares elements of the concept. Lead actress is impressive, and a striking beauty too, and the rest of the cast do fine.

Maybe the biggest problem with this is the music - it sometimes has an MTV feel, with one tense scene ruined as miserable strumming competes with the dialogue. And the sound effects are a bit hammy.

Overall, watchably average. And a short run time.

Even though this film came out in 2014, it is kind of hard to find now and is on the verge of being a lost film. After finally seeing it, I can see why. It's a boring horror/ thriller that never really goes anywhere. When the film finally ended, I thought that was it? I love Alexis Knapp, but this film didn't do her any favors. I did enjoy the references to the House of Usher and The Yellow Wall Paper. But overall, this film was disappointing.

The kind where you don't fully understand the plot but it still keeps your attention. The biggest problem I've got with it is what are Cassie Steele's motives? She seems to be the leader and is aware of "the ghost" but the ending is very underwhelming in the information department.

Otherwise...its ok. I watched it for Cassie and she did great!

It's perhaps worthy of a lightly higher score then it's currenty showing, it's somewhere between a 5.5 and a 6. It certainly looks nice, it's a slick and stylish movie, it's nicely shot, definitely visually appealing. The story is pretty good, of course there are holes in it, the first being what on Earth was in that tea? For a teen horror though it's pretty good, especially for a TV movie. Dont expect miracles, but it's diverting enough. 6/10
