Some have criticized this film for its "middle school" angst, but really, that's its strength. It takes the world of public school bullying that we laugh at or otherwise dismiss as adults -- along with the sort of bloody fantasy a kid might invent to deal with being bullied -- and treats it all very seriously, with a straight-faced supernatural script and some very serious performances. Sure, I guess I could criticize the non-supernatural ridiculousness of a coed camp for bad kids (teen pregnancies, anyone?), but when the thick, red fog of cinematically amplified teen angst rolled over me, such quibbles fell by the wayside.
Terrible
Imagine someone taking your middle school journal from 2003 and trying to make a movie out of it and you have SKOH. It’s worth watching Grace Phipps be super hot, but otherwise this is an hour and a half of cringe.
It was ok
A terribly written film which an extremely questionable message about bullying. Its visual style is unique, and some of the performances admittedly land, but it's not enough to save the project.
