FlashCallahan If this really is based on a true story, then I feel sorry for the parents of the victims that this film was ever made.So i'm ignoring the fact that it could be 'fact' and will review it as a film.The plot is basically this, a group of high-school outsiders get fed up of being bullied by your atypical bullies who throw milk at them, spit in their books, etc.They devise an elaborate plan from their joint love of horror films to teach all of their antagonists a lesson.So they all dress up as their favourite horror characters (none of which I can recall), and invite them all to a costume party.once the party starts, the outsiders party really gets started.....For a low budget horror film, it's really well made, with good performances from the initial victims, and with many nods to other horror films, Audition in particular, and hints of Rob Zombie in the third act.But the other victims are just so one dimensional, you couldn't really care what happens to them. At the beginning of the siege, the hostages are all arrogant toward the victims,and bearing in mind this is supposedly based on a true story, it just doesn't fit well if you put yourself in that situation.But there are plenty of red herrings to keep you guessing, and one remarkable element to the film, which makes it all the more sinister, is that it has an element of Van Sant's 'Elephant' to it.It's a solid enough horror movie, never outstaying it's welcome, but like I said at the top, if it really was based on a true story, it was done in bad taste.

GL84 Tired of the years of abuse and torment inflicted upon them by a group of students at their high school, a group of outcasts kidnap them and hold them hostage during a party, inflicting the damage and torture back upon them in retaliation for what they did to them.This one was actually quite a bit of fun and had a lot to like about it. Perhaps more than any other effort in the genre, this one showcases the damaging and psychological aspects of bullying which is quite an important message to showcase here to effectively end that practice in showing the possible recourse for those who engage in bullying. There's a lot to be said here about the not allowing this kind of situation to occur, much of which is given by those in charge throughout here and what happens along the way is then perfectly justified. That there allows this one to really utilize the best aspect throughout here in the shockingly intense torture scenes inflicted here, which really carries this one here as the torment and torture here is quite impressive overall. From forcing them to slice fingers off with clippers, using animal torture tactics on the group as well as placing the needles in their backs or putting the acid cream on their face which leaves this one with getting some impressive, creepy scenes here. As well, when it's not concerned with the tormenting here this one has some really enjoyable elements in the really exciting action scenes here that are quite fun, as the chase through the woods on dirt bikes comes off as a thrilling action scene, the escape attempt in the forest where the victim encounters the helpful resident here keeps it rather fun, and the groups' final reaction to their torturers at the end comes with a really enjoyable and worthwhile scene that's effective at what it sets up earlier, all of which here help make this one quite enjoyable alongside the brutal tormenting. These here do manage to make it enjoyable enough even though there's a few rather noticeable flaws in here although none of them are really detrimental. The first one here is the fact that, as well as it does set-up their retribution as being worthwhile, this one does tend to go overboard into them being picked on and bullied where it's not realistic at all how they're treated in here. It gets the point across but then goes above and beyond any normal form of human-like behavior that they display here, and the overall effect is has is somewhat laughable. The other minor flaw here is the rather overlong amount of time here focusing on their home-like as well as in the building of their social status alongside the school-based bullying, which is quite unnecessary and really adds more time than necessary to keep this from getting to the party and torture on the group. These here don't matter all that much, and don't have enough to beat out the positives.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and underage drug use.

mxnvega I was absolutely offended by this film. I personally know how it feels to have someone torment you, but to promote revenge on this nature.. just terrible. I get it, the film is meant to entertain, but this is film making at its worst. It's like they were trying to say Columbine was okay. Bullying is never alright, but getting revenge is never okay either. Two wrongs don't make right, it only makes two wrongs! On top of the storyline being awful, the acting was bad, the cheesy "scary" voice was dreadful, and the movie seemed to drag on FOREVER. To be honest, I just watched four films in a row, all horror, independent films and this is the only one I cared to review. Why you ask? Because it was so bad I had to warn others. Please, for the sake of 90 minutes of your life, watch anything else, but this eyesore.

Ben Larson Bullies are in every school in America, not matter what they seem to do to end it. It is the nature of kids to one-up each other. There are many who have such a problem with their self-esteem that they must take it out on others to feel good.We are not distracted here by "name" actors. All are from TV shows that I have heard of, but never watched. They won't be on any Emmy list.So much the better, as we can focus on the story.It is a shame that these kids experienced so much pain that they were driven to do what they did. You could feel that pain, and you knew it was going to end badly.What you didn't know was that it was all for naught, as their pain went unrecognized.And, so it continues.
