I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Please don't spend money on this.
Best movie ever!
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
H8RZ: An explosion and fire in a school lab at night, three dead, one seriously injured, one student with superficial wounds. The survivor is questioned by a School Board lawyer in the hope that the school will be absolved of any liability for the incident.A strange tale emerges in flashbacks. A group of students had cheated on a test but were caught. To make up for this disaster they then hacked into the school computer to alter their grades. All seems well.But then they start to get texts and emails, apparently from a student who had committed suicide over a year ago.A good Horror/Thriller, a few implausibilities prevent it from being a great one. 7/10.
I read the other reviews before watching this film and none of them pointed out the obvious: this is a remake of Usual Suspects. It's set in a secondary school but after the first two or three scenes you can see it's a remake.Nonetheless, remake or not, it does a good job and is worth watching. If you haven't see Usual Suspects then you'll enjoy this film. If you have seen the source film then you might still enjoy seeing how things unfold although I did get a little bored in the middle.
The title itself left me confused and after even watching the movie I still have no idea what it means !!But that is not to say that I didn't enjoy it because I did !!The premise sounds a bit dodgy (as does the damn title lol) though on most fronts it came out ahead. There's a few "pleasant" twists, the acting won't win any awards but is bearable. The music lacks somewhat as does the cinematography but you get what you pay for and this does lift itself above this.Nothing spectacular but worth seeing nonetheless A surprising 7 out of 10
Wow, this is a extremely forgettable movie. Not only because the plot tries to be clever but completely falters. But because it's just a very annoying movie to sit through. And it's not because majority of the characters in this movie is super annoying to watch. But the plot is just lazy, despite it trying to be clever. This premise has been done before, except this time it tries to go in a realistic and serious tone. It really isn't realistic at all. In fact, the whole thing is just ridiculous. H8RZ is like a code for bullying, but this movie is more about scheming. Sure, characters doesn't have to be likable for a movie to be good, but not only is everyone despicable. They have no remorse and is just whinny throughout the whole thing. I am not even sure if the message for this movie is to stop bullying, because the teachers and the people running the schools are just as self-centered, if not more than the students. I could tell they try to make a heist movie in a school setting with some twist and turns with a shoe string budget, but this one fails. I regret seeing this flick, it's not even worth the rental.3/10
