Horrible

There isn't a single aspect of this movie that works. It has some if the dullest shots ever seen on film, half of the movie is literally just people walking and acting confused. It's even a bigger disgrace that they dared to even remotely allude that the events depicted are based on a true story. If you plan on watching it just because of Crispin Glover, he's in the movie for like a minute and has no lines.

If you came here for Crispy Gloves...

You'll be disappointed. I watched this movie because Crispin had top billing. But he's shown only for a few seconds here and there, and he's wearing prosthetics, so you don't even recognize him. And with Ellis penning the script, I would have thought this would be better. Don't bother.

Get your phones out

Yeh it's one of those movies where you could be on your phone the entire time and basically get the point.

Just sort of flat.

So themes of mental health, serial killing, and religious fanaticism I guess. Acting seems borderline dull and a bit too "on the nose" as college students. And the plot maintains very little other than he seems depressed and they are psychotic. Doesn't really go anywhere or get to anything of a point. Just there, flat.

why did I waste my time with this?

The fact that this movie was written by the same person who wrote The Canyons starring Lindsay Lohan, speaks volumes. Bret Easton Ellis is an author not a screenwriter. That's why the dialogue is atrocious, the story falls flat, and the actors were given such a bad script that the acting is unconvincing. I'll give the movie 3 stars for the gas station scene because that was the only enjoyable moment of the movie

Trivia
Loosely based on the Smiley face murder theory in which the bodies of young men have been mysteriously found in water with smiley face graffiti nearby, dating back to the 1990s. The deaths have been ruled as accidental drowning but many believe a serial killer or a group of killers may be involved. The plot of this movie is based on the latter theory.

Goofs
Following Devon's murder, Jake leaves his home to return Karen's cell. Despite appearing only a few minutes later, it is now evening and Devon's car is now missing.
