Extracurricular

I don't lean on reviews when choosing a movie, but I use IMDB as a gauge for what to expect. Interpreting 6 stars for good quality, I rented Extracurricular. How in the world did this movie get over 6 stars?! If I had received a heads-up as to what I was in for, I wouldn't have paid to rent it. The movie is ok. There are plenty of holes, acting is not too bad and writing is below average, but it's the kind of film I'd watch on Netflix or Prime. The characters remain as unfamiliar at the end as they are in the beginning. There's a clusterfumble of twists and sort of suspenseful moments. There are plenty of unanswered questions. But the movie is forgettable, so I actually don't want answers.

I need to know if there is any one using the shower because I need one after this film. Let me first say, I am a huge horror movie fan and have watched some pretty gross stuff. In other horror movies you get to suspend reality for an hour and half and take a joyride into horror. This film do not let you suspend those thoughts but drags me deeper in. Maybe this film was successful making it seem to be a plausible reality. Extracurricular made me question kids under 18 and how they view human life. I watched this movie to the end and thought. I wasn't ready for this. Maybe this would be rewarding to other horror fans but left me emotionally wrecked .

As I am watching this, I really hate the main characters. I wanted so bad for the victims to beat the crap or kill them. The cold and aloof demeanor is very ugly. 4 "kids" who feel it is just some game and do not care of the aftermath. I wanted the one woman to literally kill all of them, but then there would ne no story. It was a good story flow, but the characters make you feel nothing but hate towards them. Why are they doing this? Never is revealed. Are they bored or trying to lash out, we don't get to know that. I don't like the ending as the most ruthless one remains and has no fault or reprimand on them for the crime sprees.

I hate seeing false reviews on here and you can always tell when they give 9s n 10s but i gotta say the movie did remind me of the purge the kill game is on point i do believe with a better budget this coulda went far.

Home invasion films are easily the scariest of all genre films due to their inherent realism. The characters in this film are too clever by half. Clearly this movie was inspired by the truly horrifying "Funny Games" and the masterful performances therein.That said, "FG" os a hard film to stomach, as is the also fantastic French film "Inside". Using a car analogy, this film would be taking a 1989 Ford Mustang to the aforementioned being a shiny new Bugatti. The Mustang is a great film if you are a new driver and want to take a girl out on a Friday night date. The Bugatti is a car if you want a supermodel to have your number on speed dial.
