    Has to be the worst movie ever made. Just should never had been made. Wrong in every sense. And I sat through it. Not worth 150 characters . Please avoid.

    Really Really Bad

    There's nothing here. A very dull PG teenage bullying revenge drama with no nudity or decent gore. Horrible acting. Even the girl who was getting bullied had no desire for revenge! How pathetic is that? More like a PBS after school special. Complete drivel.

    Try hard preppy horror film

    The story follows Holly Sung, an exchange student, Holly Sung, who is racially, sexually and psychologically bullied, All in 3 days. This aspect the film really does do good job in making the Audience hate the "mean" girls. But really fails in having a meaningful connection between any of the characters. The Teens don't have motives and the Adults are too pig headed and are there just to deliver lines. For example The guardian of Holly Sheryl Mullens was just a character to add production value to the film, the character was a singer of some kind that was having minor success. So of course they had to show her at a studio and at a small venue. This character could just appeared only once in the film and would have made the same amount of impact. All the other adults really are just place holders and rising action. Noting but generic and bland you feel nothing for them. Specially at the end you would expect a more than a one liner. when it happens it disappoints.

    Remember the moral of the story bullying is not OK and revenge isn't the Jedi way.

    Well at least it is not tropey

    This was definitely an unusual movie which I don't hate. I look for foreign or independent films that kinda do their own thing. The casting was kinda all over the place like Heathers boyfriend looked 40 and Heather's dad looked 30.

    They really needed to flesh out some other characters. The sponsor moms singing career added nothing and just wasted time away from the 5 girls. I wish they had done more with Grace. Maybe drop more clues about her past.

    The moral code was off to say the least. They tried a combo of show and tell but the message I guess was these girls were trying to bully this girl into suicide. So the ghost took care of them. Anyway good for them for trying to be different.

    What is this garbage

    This was actually the.worst movie ever. Did the one girl ever change every day she is seen in her plaid shirt.

    The main actress has the enthusiasm of a toenail.
