#Horror (2015)
5/10
Irritating characters, but good story!

Warning: Spoilers
I cannot give this movie more than a score of 5/10, as none of the characters were likable, not a one. It's rare I'll watch this kind of movie and not find at least one person in it I like, therefore root for. The 12 year old girls were shallow, pretentious and just generally awful people. I don't understand why any of them were even friends, they're horrible to each other. It was not a case of a group bullying just one of them, they all bullied one and other...and portrayed such spiteful behavior towards each other, that I have honestly never seen before! Positives are that for the most part, there was some good acting, the filming location and scene setting was awesome, very well done. Negatives are the girls themselves, I found them highly irritating and hard to watch, due to their behavior portrayal, in fact for this very reason, I almost turned it off....as it was just pure bitchiness. The Mother, while well acted...was a selfish human being and not likable in the slightest. The Father went from one extreme to another, first comes across as cold and distant, then goes psycho and actually seems to care about his Daughter being missing, but he is just as messed up as his child. What kind of a parent goes into a home and waves around and threatens a knife to a bunch of kids?? And says it's good advice that his Daughter told one of the chubby girls she should kill her herself...great parenting!! Then says a similar thing to the Mother of the house. There are basically a lot of screwed up characters portrayed in this movie...which I can usually tolerate (providing it's well acted) but not when they are irritating people. And, the Father is correct about one thing....why leave a bunch of (clearly messed up) 12 year olds home alone without any supervision at all. Spoiler alert: Something else, throughout the movie, it's insinuated that something happened among the girls 12 months ago, yet it's never explained...so even at the end, you're still left wondering.
