My Rating

Movie Info

A suicidal high school outcast plots with his misfit friends to seek vengeance against the popular kids who revel in making their lives a living hell. Taking his cue from the Han Dynasty and a steady diet of sadistic horror films, Dane plans a party his tormentors will never forget. When the targeted teen inherits a secluded lake house from his late uncle, he recruits fellow rejects Jack, Ravi, Andy, and Emily in throwing a party that no bully will walk away from unscarred. ~ Jason Buchanan,

Is the world ready for a Columbine-inspired horror? Not one as crass as this, that's for sure.

You've probably had bloodier encounters with a vegetable peeler.

Feels only half-baked, never delivering on its promise and merely wallowing in the grisliness.

An above-average horror flick, if it wasn't so Columbine. Paul Chambers, CNN.

Wants to be "Saw meets Heathers," I suspect. It doesn't succeed.

The acting is pretty good and the costumes are great, but the movie is routine and its message dated.

A decent idea but not done to it's full potential. A cross between Heathers with Hostel, without being as gory. Good message though, you start off cheering for one side but then feel sorry for those held captive. Not bad for a low budget horror.

2 1/2 star movie, with an extra half star for the message. ....I hate bullies and really enjoyed watching them get theirs. I hope the bullies out there will think twice before being mean to outcasts. They are outcasts because thats what the kids in school choose them to be. This isn't the best movie, but not the worst
