Bullying students are becoming deathly ill after screaming the name of a legendary ghost. What's to blame? An exotic illness? An illicit drug? Or is it the supernatural? The clues are few and time is running out for the students of Rogers High School. The only hope is the Veritas Project, a highly trained investigative team working undercover to expose the truth. Lives hang in the balance as they scramble to unravel the mystery and protect the student body from their own hatred and fear.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

This movie is good for younger kids but I don't think teens and adults will care for this movie. The movie and ending aren't very good.I was there while this movie was being filmed, some of my friends even have parts in the movie. They pulled the whole school out to sit in the bleachers for a few hours for the big football scene. It was so boring we had to watch them film the same scene over and over again & the director said now everyone acted shocked or scared. It got old fast, I don't think I would want to act as a profession. The one good thing, we got as many free snow cones as we wanted.I was very disappointed when we saw the end product I thought this was going to be a scary horror movie it was more of a family movie and shortly after aired on ABC Family.Fun Fact- another movie that was filmed at this same school was Vision Quest http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090270/

You won't get a headache on that one. But if you don't like insects, particularly creepy-crawly insects with eight legs and that bite, please abstain since you have been warned. They are delicious animals but they don't exactly like company, in fact they hate company. The only thing that attracts them is the hormone of the other sex and they bite if they get the hormone but not the individual of that other sex. The film is building some kind of teenage thriller on the model of Columbine High School (ostracizing and bullying those who dress differently and listen to different music mostly, and a little bullying against the weakest, but just for fun to get some money out of them and see them wet their pants), plus all kinds of allusions to Freddy and Scream, and you name it you have it. So under the surface dark rooms with furnaces and pipes and tubes and shafts and many other ventilation, heating or just there for decoration pipes and tubes and shafts and whatever. A wing of the high school is of course abandoned and locked up and there is a curse from a hangman, from a teenager who was so bullied in his days that ended up hanging himself to pacify his own life radically and without any possibility for the bullying to start all over again. Then you introduce a family of FBI agents, father, mother, son and daughter, all FBI trained, who are going to infiltrate the school after a series of suspicious suicides. And you have it. Add to that a good case of vengeance on the side of the first teenager who hanged himself, since hatred survives in the bloodline of a victim and you have it. The end reveals that teenagers, even if they are FBI trained like fooling around with other teenagers, fooling around and feeling around to, though the film is discreet about it. At the most a little bit of same sex hugging and mixed hand holding.Dr Jacques COULARDEAU, University Paris Dauphine, University Paris 1 Pantheon Sorbonne & University Versailles Saint Quentin en Yvelines

I just watched this 'movie' and I must say that it was possibly one of the worst that I have ever seen.First off there is the stereotypical portrayal of the goth subculture. By golly....all goths worship Satan and want their classmates dead! When I was a goth in high school(late 1980's)I personally worshiped a fellow student who committed suicide and prayed to him to kill all of the 'jocks'. You better believe it!!! It's like the makers of the film studied my life and patterned the 'goths' in the movie after me! WOW!!!If you can't tell that I am being sarcastic then you probably like this movie.Everything about this movie is trite and patterned on stereotypes. Even the ending is typical. The 'evil' looking 'goth' kids suddenly change their clothes and are happy. As if changing your clothes can all of a sudden change your whole entire attitude. Every time I wear jeans and a 'normal' shirt I know that I feel at peace with the world and want to throw frisbees in a park.About twenty minutes from the ending my boyfriend commented that he thought it was a 'christian' movie, and he was right. Who else but close minded bigots would portray a subculture is such a light. Instead of actually doing some research they perpetuated the whole 'goths' are evil stereotype. Not all Christians are bigots, but the people who made this movie are sure not practicing what they are preaching.Stay away from this movie. If you are reading this while drunk you may want to look into it just for the pure entertainment value of seeing David Keith with an upside-down cross drawn on his forehead.

This movie was completely off. It isn't even the Christian propaganda element that others have commented on. Well, maybe it is in part. The film seems to preach "if you are different, you must assimilate and then you will be tolerated." I don't really think that is what needs to be taught. Diversity is wonderous. All the geeks, jocks and preps should be allowed to be who they are and learn how to get along.The emotional depth of the characters was unrealistic and overblown stereotypical. The geeks were really the worst stereotyping. The teenagers didn't seem to be dealing with any real crisis except the point of the movie. The acting did not even begin to cover the emotion that real teenagers have.And finally, what is up with the kids working for the cops???? NO WHERE would this be possible. Kids being put in harm's way? It was too laughable.Luckily I bought this in a $2.99 bin. Perhaps someone will give me $.50 in my garage sale.
