Featured reviews
The movie has a strong opening that creates a curiosity to see what happened, and where the story is going. The acting is fine - for this kind of movie. I don't think 'slasher' films are known for their superb acting, or scripts.
There are so many holes in the story, though, that it starts to become distracting. Particularly the last minutes of the film, where characters seem to be coming out of nowhere, without any reasonable motivation to be there in the scene at all.
So, yes, the 'exploiter/hacker' isn't too hard to figure out. But the big reveal at the end is usurped by the earlier scene when you think - "Oh, hell, who else could it possibly be!?"
People you saw being murdered, stabbed through the heart, magically reappear alive and well. Some of the situations are simply silly if for no other reason than the characters that show up in them.
There are gay characters, but I wouldn't really characterize it as a 'gay film.'
If you have nothing else to do, and want to watch a mystery whodunnit sort of movie, it's an option.
But, for the record, it's NOT about, as the blurb suggests, "A college freshman becomes obsessed with the previous owner of his school issued laptop." It's a thumb drive, and his wasn't issued to him by the school. But how it ended up in his possession is one more thing that is shown, but not quite explained. Was it stashed in a draw? Who put it there? Did it belong to the roommate? Was it left in the room by last year's occupant?
Right off the bat, the premise isn't really explained. I guess I'm a stickler for details. This missed a lot of them.

I'm not at all sure that I even know what this is about. Sort of a gay slasher film?! Some cute guys, but I can't think of any other reason to recommend it. For something that is both violent and sexual, it is never scary, suspenseful or erotic. I've seen worse, though not much worse. I do not believe the many positive reviews on here are real. They've got to be written by those connected with the film or friends.
I really don't get the bad reviews this movie has been getting on here. Sure it does have some B-Movie qualities to it, so if you come to this expecting Oscar winning performances and stellar cinematography you will be disappointed.
This movie takes itself seriously just enough to make the plot engaging and the campy elements of it entertaining.
I am all for positive representation in the media specially when it comes to the LGTB+ community and this movie does just this, without losing sight of what it is, a slasher/thriller set on Campus.
Hope we get to see more of these come out in the coming years. If you are up for being entertained and B-movies with an engaging plot are your thing, give this one a chance.

Bad acting aside, i thought the movie was enjoyable. The plot overall is more than okay IMO. Did suck me into the who's-the-real-killer mystery which drived me to finish the movie.
Something was always happening and you kept wanting to see what would happen next. At first it was hard to tell who was gay and who was straight. There was nudity so this is not for teens. The overall story was good and so were the actors in it. I would not mind seeing it again. I probably won't, but I wouldn't mind it.
