I created an account because of how irritated I was with this movie.
I'm a huge horror fan, but I don't think of myself as super serious about the genre. Give me a bad B movie and I'm totally happy but this was just...beyond.
Let's just start with the fact that the movie doesn't even follow it's own rules. I won't spoilt it, but they clearly state why the killers are killing and then the killers go against that statement.
And I really agree with another review. This movie felt like how a Gen-Z kid THINKS 90s kids acted and dressed. Never did it feel like it was actually set in the 90s not even when they shoved 20 90s songs (a lot of which were released after 1994) down our throats in the first 20 minutes. If these kids were almost 18 in 1994 that means they were born at the end of the 70s and grew up in the 80s. That's a totally different vibe than kids that were born later in the 80s.
It also had so many real-life plot goofs. How did Deena answer the phone when her brother was on AOL? That was impossible at the time. Someone in the writer's room had to know that. Also why did they choose that method to kill someone? It would literally take close to an hour. Shooting up someone with 8 epipens would also probably kill them before it would save them.
Everything from the acting to the story was cringe. The only thing I enjoyed was the opening scene but that's only because it was lifted right from Scream.
