Bad Kids of Crestview Academy

Amazon was pushing 'Totally Killer' on me, and I couldn't make it through that one either. This one also appears to be targeted towards the 14-34 female, um, let's say "Velma" demographic, so I'm probably not the audience they're going for. I guess I was expecting more of a "Disturbing Behavior" type movie, but BKoCA is more like a spoof of a horror movie than it is a horror movie.

That being said, it's a horny/gory teen comedy that leans heavily on current-day tropes which won't make sense in the future, so if you hadn't heard of this movie before, then you probably won't hear about it again. It employs levels of acting and writing that you would see on The CW. The camera work and audio is well done.

This was made for a pretty specific group of people, so if you're in that group you'll probably love it, but otherwise you deserve a medal for making it through the first hour.

PS- I saw someone else mention that it has themes of "And Then There Were None", but implying that these writers read Agatha Christie is giving them way too much credit. I could see if maybe they watched a YouTube video summarizing the film adaptation.

I enjoyed the film, but didn't love it like I do the the first movie. While they managed to capture the essence of the original film - telling the story in bits and pieces, out of order, any with layers within layers - but whereas they reached a point where that formula again worked, the film then went way too over-the-top in an attempt to really out crazy its predecessor. It was also disappointing that, while the first movie had reasonably well-developed, multi-layered characters, with the exception of the main character Siouxsie, all the others were ridiculously shallow one-note caricatures in this one. If you really loved Bad Kids Go to Hell, you're more likely to get some enjoyment out of this one, but don't expect it to be as good.

I really enjoyed the first movie "Bad Kids Go To Hell". Pretty good acting and a good plot and everything. But this one, "Bad Kids of Crestview Academy", just really disappointed me. A lot of the acting wasn't good. It seemed forced, over dramatic, and at times didn't make sense. But I think, at times, that had more to do with direction and the script than the actors themselves. The dialogue is the same. It was annoying and at times didn't make sense or unnecessary. I really about stopped watching a few times but I already invested the time and I just wanted to know how it ended, in case there is a third. But I literally suffered through the last half. The story line just sucked. I feel like there could have been more thought put into it and the dialogue or something.

Although I am not a huge slasher fan I enjoyed most of the ones I saw (such as the SCREAMs and the I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER) and don't mind to watch them just for increasing the numbers of movies seen with actors I love. And although I have never seen BAD KIDS GO TO HELL I was very curious about its sequel after seeing it as a Youtube suggestion, and I ended up enjoying it.

At Crestview Academy there is the strange issue that when the students are put in detention end up slaughtered but this time five kids want to know what's really going on and try to stop this massacre, and things become serious after a student throws herself to her death on headmaster Nash's (Sean Astin) car. After some deaths, our heroes will do everything they can for stopping this madness also with the help of the headmaster and his daughter during a mid-credits scene.

As I have never seen BAD KIDS GO TO HELL I had to read the plot and reviews first and they helped me a bit. But I still liked this slasher because it reminded me of the classics of the genre I love and there were lots of twists and turns, and also lots of entertaining moments involving Astin, and the teen actors were surprisingly good.

Not to be missed for slasher fans, and overall, very entertaining and funny.

Nice film. Not gonna blow your mind but fun to watch if you wanna escape for a few hours.
