This small film provided a nice surprise by rising above expectations & being totally different than how it was sold (spoiler: its not a supernatural horror movie).
The film is a pretty real look at a town of high school teenagers on the verge of graduating & starting their summer vacation. The catch: every year during these final days of school leading up to graduation, someone dies. Although this "curse" is on everyone's mind, teens will be teens; so parties & what results from these parties will continue. During one such party, the main character is set upon by a gang leader & she fights her way out of the attack; maiming her attacker in the process. This leads to her & her friends/family being stalked by the gang until the final confrontation during a house siege.
The actors do a very good job in creating likable characters, the setting is picturesque & the action is viscerally strong. The closing moments are surprising, but in my opinion, were not necessary.
Overall, an enjoyable waste of time. Fans of the following movies (I'm dating myself here): The New Kids, Massacre at Central High & the updated version of The Town That Dreaded Sundown should seek this one out.
Happy Hunting.
