Some Kind of Hate

Unrelentingly grim and nasty. Not without style, but this is a mostly boring revenge trek.

Catching up before it's leaving Shudder. The film follows Lincoln, a victim of relentless bullying who is sent to a reform school after he finally stood out for himself. Once he's in there, the harassment starts all over again. But things start to change after he accidentally summons the spirit of a girl named Moira, who was driven to suicide by vicious bullying years ago, as she takes vengeance on his tormentors. But when she goes too far, Lincoln must prevent her from spiraling out of control. It's a supernatural slasher / revenge tale. I admit that this film is far from great. It suffers from pacing issues, the message is a bit clunky, and it has a problematic approach to the subject of self-harm. Despite the flaws, I can appreciate the anti-bullying commentary in here. As a slasher, it does have some nice qualities to it. The concept is very unique with interesting villain, lots of gruesome moments, and highly inventive kills. They also did a great job with the tone of the film. The amount of scenes involving self harm makes it difficult to watch.
