2.25 of 10. Despite being a short film (the actual film only lasts under an hour and 18 minutes), it is painfully slow and stupid. If you're looking for something scary and exciting in a teen film, H8RZ is a far better option. If you're looking for teen sex, Staten Island Summer is the only recent film that even gets close to doing anything worth watching.
Everything in this film seems so staged. When the teens do something smart, they typically lose out anyway. When they do something idiotic, they rarely suffer as a result. The story keeps being pushed along as if to fill in a minimum time gap. Even the credits crawl along for another 9 minutes with nothing interesting.
Then there are the plot failings. One second they're in a town with the other key characters being in a town in another county. Next, they're all in a suburb outside a bigger city and a former cop living in the other town/county somehow controls the cops and sheriffs and a place that the lead character once had to drive a long way to is suddenly within walking distance.
Finally, the end is a complete failure and forced simply to fit the "curse". It's hard to believe the writer of American Psycho could have supported such a poorly written and directed film. Apparently the need for cash is truly the curse of this story.
