Un tueur sur le campus

I got about 20 minutes into this movie before the I had to shut it off. Like everyone says the acting was awful. AWFUL. So cringy I just couldn't get past it. And I'm the kind of person that usually keeps going to see how bad it can really get. I wanted to fast forward to the end just to know who the killer was, but I couldn't even talk myself into it. Feel free to spoil me. Or don't. Either way it's still an awful movie.

Overall it's a trifle involving murders at a college which revolve around social media.

The film's best is its commentary on social media which resonates -- the addictive and obsessive quality social media can have for many people. The writers understand that well enough and weave the story around this theme well.

For example when our main character goes to speak to the dean and while apparently in a serious conversation about serious issues the student is experiencing the dean's desktop screen just keeps beeping with social media alerts which the dean can't seem to ignore for even a minute. It's tragicomedy, not played for a laugh but you'll smirk anyhow. If you use social media and your friends do also you will recognize the behavior.

As a murder mystery it's average at best and that almost gets lost in the social media distractions which isn't a terrible thing, one could argue that's the point of the film.

The acting is good, not great but good, production quality is very good, and the writing, dialogue, and directing are good enough for what it is: Entertainment, a thriller, with some on the mark observations about social media.

Nothing about this movie was original except perhaps trying to pass a 30yr old woman off as a college student. And why was she dressed like a deer? It's as if the director thought putting her in tons of makeup would hide her age. They randomly introduced characters and the "cops" were an absolute joke. It really was a waste of an hour of my life.

The only good thing about this movie is when the main character using the word cockamamie.

It made me think of. Clint Eastwood in "In the Line of Fire" when he says "cockamamie. That's a word your generation hasn't embraced yet."

That was a good movie. John Malkovich was great.

I should have watched that movie instead.

This was terrible. I've seen better acting from a preschool. I don't mind things being low budget when everyone is trying their best, but no one was trying at all. The story was all over the place. The characters terrible cliches. The voiceovers too much and jumbled. Let's not even talk about how her brother didn't look remotely like her or the mother. And her crush...well hopefully he grows into his face. The ending was a huge miss and made 0 sense. What exactly was the objective of this movie? Someone let me know!
