Follows a group of sorority sisters who end up trapped with a murderer. Nora’s tipsy memories hold the clues to figuring out who is killing their friends, but she can only remember them when she’s drunk.
This film is more of a comedy with horror elements. Kind of what some critics and audiences are accusing the latest RESIDENT EVIL movie of being I have a differing opinion. I feel like that’s more of a horror film with comedic elements.
As this film has more sense of humor about itself, it realizes that so it can play up more of the clichés well-being, just as guilty with them. Especially as a slasher film.
This is a to be original movie and one of the better ones as it is directed by one of their veterans Jem Garrard whose previous film TAKE OUT I enjoyed even though that phone was more of a thriller. This is a very glossy audience, pleasing film. As usual, this film was made in South Africa Africa look to make like any random American city or town
Mostly in one location, the film is fun though what really makes the film shine is a lead performance by actress Siena Agudong, who truly makes you feel for her dilemma is hilarious in the right spot and even as a screwup makes you really care about her character and believe in her through it all
The only truly gruesome parts of the film are the kill/death, which are pretty brutal and while they go along with the movie are a little bit quite shocking considering how light the film usually is up to that point.
The film has tried to put twist on the stereotypical nature of the characters while preserving them in that mode so while you feel sorry for some characters death, you don’t really feel too much out of just not wanting to see another human being die because we are never left to really get to know the characters that much.
This is a film that is obviously made more for fun and enjoyment rather than having too much depth so this is definitely a film where you have to take it as it is
Now, if you’re looking for a cute little mysterious no-brainer movie that stays entertaining throughout, I would say this is the Film for you
Grade: C+
