It's not that bad of film

Interesting storyline/ premise. Good acting and potential for a few of the cast members. The creature is also well though out. Hope more people get to see the movie and appreciate it.

Tardy Terror

Warning: Spoilers
Originally the film "Horror High" was released as "Tardy Terror." It is not a good sign when they change the title after it has been released. Lewis (Julian Tejeda) is the new kid at school and he quickly discovers that if you are late for class a demon will get you. We get the back story on the demon and how all of the adults in town are all under its power in a near zombie trance. They don't act. Lewis is part of a group that want to figure out how to stop this. Meanwhile there is a bully that attempts to make Lewis late for class.

This wasn't a bad film. When the kids sit around and talk, the film is really bad as the acting and dialogue fall apart real fast. I couldn't understand why the lids were running and screaming at the 30 second classroom countdown since the same thing happens every day at the same time. What happens if the bus is late?

Guide: No F-word, sex, or nudity.

Really liked this movie.

Tubi has listed as Horror High. Creepy and interesting, better than most recent horror movies. It's also a coming of age for a group of teens. It doesn't only have a monster, it also shows how evil some teens can be to those they look down on. Hard to tell who was worse the demonic entity or the school bullies.

Pretty good

This film isn't too bad! We watched this flick on Tubi. It's well written, great concept, great cast and executed well. I can let my 13 yo watch this and not worry about inappropriate behavior and language . Good job!

Impressive movie

I found this on tubi and was absolutely impressed with the quality of this movie. It was made by high school students class of 2020 & 2021. Says this in the beginning. The story line was very well written, the cinematography looked absolutely stunning (better than most of the Hollywood movies), the acting was really well done as well. Very impressive for high schoolers! While the concept was not what I would call traditional horror, it was very well executed. I was especially impressed with the fact that there was no cursing, smoking or drugs! The way the get around using foul language was unnoticeable, it never came across as intentional, cheesy or unnatural. This is a great horror movie for kids, although there is violence but not very much blood or anything too graphic. As a horror fan I have to give them credit for making a gripping movie that remains interesting without getting boring.

I do think that going into this movie as an adult, it should be noted that this was written and created by high schoolers because I feel like more people would give this a chance, and it would explain some of the innocence to this movie. However, had I not known this I would still give it a 10. Well done!
