Lord where do we begin? Tldr at bottom.
Bless the cast for their attempts, some of the extras seem stronger than the leads though.
The script/directing seems to not be sure if this is a horror, angsty high school sitcom on Disney, parody, or generic movie. And oh boy the cinematography. I watched a 1-2 minute conversation between two characters where the camera flipped back and forth every sentance. Literally. Just frame them both. Christ. And the classroom positioning so the main character can be in focus? Oh man why. I do applaud the few "high school grad art house shots" I guess. And oh lord the script. First time seeing the cops, "he got bludgeoned with a uh, idk round spherical object. Maybe his own damn baseball?" you mean the baseball covered in blood? Oh my god and then they jump to it maybe being satanic. Lord! Wow! And please. A bike scene with 4 kids with the outside 2 standing and the inside 2 sitting, in a perfect "u" oh christ that's so natural. I wanna die. Please just.. Every scene is predictable, especially the "scary ones". I was 3 for 0 on a scene that started in a hallway, zoomed into a room, the door creaked open, and the chair started rocking. Would neeeever have been able to see that coming. The artsy shots are good, predictable but good. I'd love to see that more consistently in this movie but unfortunately it jumps back to high school classes a little too often.
Tldr - the directing is... Oh man. The acting.. Yikes. The cinematography.. Oh lord is this a joke? Is it predictable... Can I plead the fifth?Sound design ain't too nice either. It's bad, man. I enjoyed every minute hating it though.
also also, there are so many Donnie Darko references, which obviously makes this movie edgy.
Also also also, please pause on 1:17:20. Guess that shadow.
