My God it was horrible

We went to see this film for a project day in school. It gave me a terrible headache that lasted all day. The story is okey, but the directing ruined it. The acting was ter-ri-ble. It was saddening to watch, really. Not because of the story itself, though. the most positive thing about this movie is that it's not predictable. The story goes from one idiotic plotturn to another, that not even the most pessimistic of viewers could have expected. If there hadn't been teachers all over the cinema, I would have run for my life after the first 15 minutes and spent it outside in the sun. Instead, I attempted to sleep, which I did not succeed in, because of that damn light coming of that damn screen. In short: a total waste of the precious little time I have in this young life of mine.
