3/10
The acting most essentially ruined it all...

While this movie is the caricature self of horror movies (e.g. a group of people going in the woods and dying one by one), there was probably some small potential with this movie if the acting was far more superior than what was shown [...]

Before talking about this specific element, this movie really struggled in a terrible manner between "comedy" and horror. There must be a reason why there was so much over-the-top gore! The movie failed somewhere and the excess gore was just a manner of covering up that thing. I blame the acting and overall weak story.

indeed, watching closely, the majority of the actresses suck at acting all together except probably in the genuine moments of joy when they played with one another between adolescents. Certainly the only moment they were able to bring me to their world.

In many scenes, Ciara Flynn was just not credible. She has this cold and distant thing about her that just does not invite people into her world. She has a hard time grasping people's emotions because she is just terrible at transposing them [...] That scene at the end is just the pure representation of what she's been in this movie where she is caught trying to play so many different roles at time for intrinsic capabilities that I really felt sorry for her.

I could name a few other girls but you can see that half and more are not even known to the general public. They were just not credible for a horror movie.

Finally, this movie really has some fundamental flaws. Half or more of the kids were disappearing and no one really ever bothered, which is weird -; whichever, the attitudes of the kids in front the demon was a complete farce. I mean, I can understand that you are afraid but stupid? Do we human beings react this stupidly in front frightful situations? No! And, that's why somehow this is a caricature.

You had the feeling that these people were just voluntarily putting themselves out there to get killed. I'm not even going to mention that stupid policewoman her lieutenant who basically never ever really served to anything other than being fundamentally dumb in this movie.

The whole thing failed on both accounts: first at being funny as they attempted many times and second at being a horror movie because of how bad the acting was all together.
