Mainetta ja menestystä tavoitteleva elokuvaopiskelija valitsee lopputyönsä aiheeksi urbaanilegendoja veriteoissaan hyödyntävän sarjamurhaajan. Tarina tulee karmivalla tavalla todeksi, kun leffatyöryhmän jäseniä alkaa kadota. (SBS Discovery Media)

The directorial debut of John Ottman, editor of Bryan Singer’s early films (The Usual Suspects, Apt Pupil), for which he also composed the music. And it’s a horrible directorial debut. Ottman went into this project with the intention of making “something different, something Hitchcockian” and today he claims that he “had to adapt it for a teenage audience in the end.” We could get over the fact that it’s a rip-off of Scream and The Faculty, but why does it have to be so awfully stupid?

Ottman can compose perfect music, but please, all responsible people, never let him touch a camera again, because then we might witness something similarly repulsive as here. Horror movies, in which characters make fun of horrors, work in the case of Scream (which is shamelessly copied here along with its first installment), but not at all here. Thanks to unsuccessful attempts at horror, the plot becomes perfectly foolish, and not even a few (then still unknown) likeable TV faces can save the situation.
