Another high school horror flick, this time about an unlikeable group of teenagers who appear to be perfect students - except that in their spare time they enjoy planning murder. A slow and elaborate set-up feels like nothing more than padding before the main event, which in the second half turns out to be a routine "home invasion" thriller with the expected violence but zilch in the way of character-building, suspense or any kind of plot depth. The cover features Luke Goss predominantly but he's in a tiny role, so if there are any fans of his out there - don't bother!

Misses the mark
Extracurricular
This is a low budget film horror thriller about a group of clever but bored students who get a taste for killing.
Miriam, Derek, Jenny and Ian are the clever kids who meticulous plan their murders. They even have a backup plan in case things go wrong.
Luke Goss plays the local cop and the father of two of the kids who is investigating the latest deaths.
The film is derivative of better films such as American Psycho, Scream and Compulsion even though this has a cynical twist in its ending.
By the end you think, why are some of the victims talking to their would be murderers and trying to get through to them. Just run.
Not quite Heathers
There can only be one (Heathers),now can there? Rhetorical question of course, but that does not make this a bad movie. Unless your expectations are differently to a degree where you might find things annoying that go on here. It's a straightforward movie that is quite predictable with characters you are not supposed to like.
Having said, it is quite nicely written and takes you on a weird ride with crude individuals. This could have gone wrong on many levels, but I think it succeeds in holding up your attention enough til the end ... there again you may feel that the movie has issues ... that will depend on your taste
