Season 2, Episode 6
2/10
Not a horror, long drawn out dialogue.
19 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The story starts with a young woman talking about a St. Patrick's day party a year ago. Flashing back and forth between her dialogue & the story that starts at the party. It's one of those teen drama movies -with some laughable scenes and does not fall into a horror genre. A lot of dialogue with not much action.

The movie starts out with college party scenes & teenage drama between some girls & they throw in some commentary about a group of frat boys, the beginning scenes take place in the local bar, with the main characters developing.

The story is told from the perspective of a local girl, Shawna, who shares her conspiracy theories at the bar, introduces the characters & shows her distaste for them, describing herself as a loner.

A misfortunate event takes place & now they have the beginning of a plot to work with. The main character, Shawna & another girl, Misty, go on a detective mission to find out what strange occurrences are happening around their town, & what is causing it.

The local police become involved but some of them are not quite who they appear to be. Misty & Shawna continue hunting for clues & run into other characters unveiling the mystery behind the weird actions of some of their friends and law enforcement.

For a low budget film, I didn't turn it off, but admittedly I thought about it a few times as it's slow with nothing much happening but teenage rambling about their lives & past mistakes. Travelling around to a few different places introducing a few new characters but they don't seem to be taking the seriousness of their situation with any quick smart actions behind it.

They take matters into their own hands and realize they are running out of time, so is my patience at this point. Finally the main characters arrive at their intended destination, after more & more talking and teenage drama, & the heroine saves the day as predicted. Or does she?
