The film has some solid traits. The acting, even by the young cast is solid. The cinematography and set design is good. Though, in the mid 2000's there was a fad of doing these rapid cuts accompanied with loud noises and a photo negative filter. It hasn't aged well and was honestly not popular back then. The mystery of the plot kept me interested. The biggest complaint I have is the protagonist was unlikeable and unrelatable. Agnes Bruckner did fine as her, but ultimately she comes off as a brat, even having a scene where she finds someone in a hospital who asks her for help and she simply turns her back on him. Additionally, the whole bullying subplot feels a bit off. Maybe have the bully show a little less interest in the protagonists "fire crotch".
