It took me about 30 minutes to figure out what was going on in this one but once I did it actually turned out to not be too bad a movie with a slightly unusual take on a modern and old school problem, those being school shootings and bullying. Although I found it a cliched in parts it was, for me, unique in that in my country school shootings just don't happen so it was a different take on horror.
The lighting for this movie was well done and not too dark that the movie was lost in the dark and the cinematography was spot on, the acting was adequate if a little stunted at times and the dialogue was perfect without a load of unnecessary explanations or talking and I liked the slow character development, there's also plenty of gore for the gorehounds ,all in all a solid 7.

Slightly unique
Amazing surreal <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="94f9fdfaf0f2d4">[email protected]</a>@k film about a school shooting
This is really a great film, and Jeremy Kasten has done a fantastic job directing it. It's a film about a school shooting, but it is told as a supernatural film, which I don't think has been done before, and the result is a very powerful moving film about a major problem we have in America. The young actors are uniformly excellent, and the surreal imagery is something you won't forgot too soon. The plot involves four students assigned to clean up their school after there has been some type of catastrophe. The four kids are not alone though. There are four school shooters based on the four horsemen of the apocalypse who look the kids in the school and then hunt them down. This leads to many revelations about the characters and why they behave and act the way they do. There is a lot of great gore and special effects that will definitely attract horror fans. This is an important movie that tackles a very important phenomenon, school shooting (and violence in general). It is a brave and uncompromising film and viewers should be pleasantly surprised by the film. The visual effects in particular are excellent. Another winner from director Jeremy Kasten.
No Exit
Four students are forced to clean up the mess in Arcadia High School. We have no introduction of who they are or what they did. This comes out in the flashbacks. As it turns out they are trapped in the school and each student has their own personal issues. PLOT SPOILER. What becomes very clear early on is that this is an existential film.
The film does seem to drag at a few scenes, but I did like the ending. Brandon Thane Wilson gave an excellent performance. He reminded me of Sean Astin who gives his all, even in "B" films.
