Viewing Notes

There’s a lot to like about this high school set horror in heartland slasher. I’m probably 3/4 on board with this movie. Love that it involves HS teens and we get more than paper thin characters. The trope of trying to misdirect the audience is so heavy it’s obvious that would not be the killer, who is a pretty easy guess from the early scenes. As that whole “Smoking Gun” scene was going down I did the Rick Dalton pointing at the screen “that’s your killer, folks.” But movies like this need to apply certain elements to make them entertaining so I was fine with all that. Some great kills and whatnot but initially we have a killer that seems to be targeting bad people but then is just finding something bad about everybody? Like sure go after Makani b/c of her past mistake but really? And Caleb? What did he do? Felt like it was crumbling by that final act.

Was actually excited when I thought a major character was gonna bite it… like whoa bold choice but yeah go for it. But nah. Then Makani somehow walking away from a crime scene with the (attempted) murder weapon? Yeah, no.

But overall this mostly works and I’m glad to have seen it on Netflix rather than the crummy streaming via Alamo On Demand w/often looked awful w/poor PQ and artifacts.
