Historically, the English have always done a great job at imitating American accents. If you are seeking the contrast to such a statement however, one need look no further than this movie. The terrible acting is only made worse by the horrific un-convincing "New York" accents. That's okay, though. We'll get them back in a few years when Kevin Costner does Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Composer Harry Manfredini must have been having a rough week when it came time to score this film, because the entire movie is peppered with music stings from his work on Friday the 13th. So much so in fact, that they even drop a Jason Voorhees reference just to point it out.

This movie implements minimal lighting in most of its scenes, which is a shame, as the set used for the run-down high school is pretty frickin' awesome. Would have liked to have seen in grander detail. With just the right amount of touch-ups, they could have made this movie much more visually appealing.

Now, as this is a movie about the after-effects of bullying, it comes as no surprise that each of the offenders get exactly what they deserve. Even [spoiler]"final girl" Carol[/spoiler] will not live to see the end of this movie... and that's a good thing. It goes without saying that a group of 30-year-old high school students would not be particularly bright, but damn it if they don't show it by doing the dumbest crap I've seen from a group of slasher victims ever. The only one I feel bad for is that poor [spoiler]janitor[/spoiler], who did absolutely NOTHING wrong. Poor bastard. The kills, while absolutely absurd, are at least entertaining, and the final shot of the movie almost makes it worth the price of admission.
