Shy Erin (Catherine Morvell) has one friend Rachel (Gabrielle Pearson) following an incident where she passed out at a party and was abused by others in her circle. She has a crush on Alex (Jesse Bouma) fellow film making student. Alex has a "Snuff boy" film on his laptop which Erin discovers. People in Erin's circle who abused her start being murdered, murders that are being filmed.
I was hoping for a twist. PLOT SPOILER. Maybe the killer was hired by Cameron (Charles Jazz Terrier ) who was running for office and wanted anyone who knew about the incident eliminated. I thought the film was going in that direction. At one point we see a man being killed by a man with a tattoo on his right arm. Alex shows us his right arm and there is no tattoo. I believed that was a clue and we would soon see Cameron with a tattoo. Nope.
Guide: F-word. Implied sex. Brief rape. No nudity.

I really thought you were the one
Just ok
This is probably what you get it you combine I know what you did last summer, unfriended and cam girls. The lead protagonist is traumatised with a horrific incident with which a group of so-called friends were involved. The premise had promise but the execution is poor. The film is a collection of pov murder scenes, some friends' gathering scenes & flashback scenes flimsily cut together to create this film. It is not the worst film I saw this year but it is far from being more than another forgettable mediocre one that I cannot recommend viewers to watch.
The acting is excruciatingly bad. Lol, except for the bit part of the boss. He was good.
I mean, they had nothing in the script to work with, but I felt like I was watching a jr. High or High school stage production. The script certainly didn't help. The dialogue was so cliche... crude jocks and uber-perky teen girls with fake, sugary voices that make you want to slap their faces off. Giggle, giggle, snicker! I do not know anyone I went to school with who acted like ANY of these "characters". None of them are likeable.
Have I mentioned there is no plot, the characters are one-dimensional, and the audio soundtrack is like fingers on chalk? The violence is not even on par with first-year film students. It is hard to believe a young teen didn't write, produce it, film it, and then cast all their talent-less friends in it.
I mean, this film is one of the worst I have ever seen. I probably refuse to finish a movie only about one time out of 150 movies, and this was one of them. There was nothing redeemable about it and I didn't feel like punishing myself. The only way this movie could have the rating it does hare is if the filmmakers asked all their high-school friends, family, and cast and crew to give it a "10". I hate it when people do that.
Edit: Yeah, I went back and looked at all the positive reviews and they were all by people whose first and only review was this movie. On the other hand, the bad reviews were from people who've reviewed hundreds to thousands of movies. Fake scores and reviews should be deleted.
