Pretty much what I&#039;d expected: a low-budget-feeling slasher that thinks it&#039;s more clever than it is (tellingly, the writers didn&#039;t have attention to detail enough to include an apostrophe in the title).The characters are mostly uninteresting and/or unlikeable and the performances amateurish... particularly during frequent awkward attempts at &quot;funny&quot;.&nbsp; There&#039;s a clear Scream template going on, which is a shame. It would have been better played as a straight and simple classic slasher, instead, the reach exceeds the grasp and it tries too hard to be clever and twisty, ultimately ending up too busy and shallow.The only depth and gravitas in the film comes from William Russ as everyone&#039;s favourite teacher (even though, as I watched, I&#039;d convinced myself he was Steve Zahn and spent all the film trying to work out if he was aged up or had simply aged, and marvelling at how similar to Steven Spielberg he was).As for the identity of the killer(s)... nobody will be surprised, and most viewers will probably have a moment of feeling good about guessing it, then ultimately be left feeling cheated.</blockquote>
