    Shot well, suffers from poor writing and direction.

    The camera work and the actual look of everything was well done for a movie with what I assume was a shoestring budget. The premise is fairly simple, bit of 'Breakfast Club' in a prison attempt where the students are all hunted by an unknown assailant. And that's about all there is to the plot.

    The problem is everything else. It's hard to criticize the acting because the dialogue and actions they say and do are so...juvenile and stupid that I don't think any actor would have been able to make them work. It's obvious the writers have no idea how modern teens talk or behave. They're supposedly arch-type teenagers but they're archetypes lifted from like a 2005 Nickelodeon sitcom. Nothing that happens ever has any real impact, there's no emotional connection to any of these characters because they're all sort of unbearable and annoying. There's no sense of dread or fear. It's just a group of "teens" making stupid quips as they wander around a prison until one of them supposedly dies.

    I say supposedly because you never actually SEE anything that happens. Literally all the violence, if there is any, happens off screen. You never actually see what happens to a character when they're killed off. You see them being approached, a scared face, and then the scene is over and the story has moved on already.

    Basically if this is a horror, comedy, and drama genre movie without any actual horror, comedy, or drama in it...then what is it? That's the feeling this movie leaves you with. It's nothing. It's not offensive really, there's just no point to watching it. It's just some fairly well shot unimaginative boring nonsense with a couple funny lines. Can't recommend it.

    Not worth it. Could be condensed to 28 minutes.

    Lame. Boring. Drawn out.

    Slow. Only for diehard thriller seekers.

    Plays up, a little, HS some HS stereotypes.

    I would've stopped watching at 15 minutes, but I have a 2nd screen to occupy time.

    I actually watched about 1/3, skipping ahead. The last 10 minutes was an uneventful ending.

    I certainly wouldn't have padi for this, but I download for free all the movies I watch.

    Hardly Watchable

    Even not watching it straight through (had to take it in doses), its still embarrassing to have seen the entire thing. The very end was kind of campy-cutesie but overall the film takes itself way too seriously for having a cast of grotesque characatures glibly plodding through the cheesy screenplay of the least interesting story ever told.

    Not worth watching

    Not sure if this was suppose to be a horror or comedy or both. Terrible acting and story.

    Nope

    Just don't watch this. Go out, meet friends, even stay in, but just don't turn this on. Nothing happens. Nothing. Cast of 6 running round a jail. Nope.
