Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

"Some kind of Hate" is a brutal but formulaic slasher with a couple of supernatural elements processed into the plot. It's not exactly original or particularly memorable, but it's nonetheless entertaining and surely delivers the goods in terms of violence and bloodshed. Lincoln is an introvert semi-emo teenager who gets bullied at home by his biker father as well as at school by the popular jocks. When Lincoln does finally dare to stand up for himself and sticks a fork into the eye of the bully, he's the one to gets punished and send to some sort of karma rehabilitation camp for juvenile delinquents. At the camp, however, the bullying against Lincoln's persona cheerfully continues, but when he hides from his tormentors in a basement, he accidentally summons the vengeful spirit of a girl named Moira who also got bullied at the camp and committed suicide. Moira promptly starts to annihilate Lincoln's bullies, but also the innocent kids and specifically the camp counselors with whom she has a personal score to settle. The premise of bullied high school kids avenging themselves with the help of the paranormal certainly isn't new, just think of such (semi-)classic titles like "Carrie", "Horror High" or "EvilSpeak", but not too many directors dare to tackle the subject of teenage suicide. Some of the characters' stories and testimonies are quite bleak and depressing, but luckily the emphasis primarily lies on the action. The first 2 or 3 kills are tame and take place mostly off- screen, but then all hell breaks loose and especially the last half hour is gore- soaked and vicious, notably because a few totally innocent and even sympathetic supportive characters are relentlessly butchered. The gore is always two for the price of one, because Moira's ghost cuts her own wrists and throat, and her victims simultaneously suffer the exact same wounds. The acting performances are good, with a few familiar faces (like Noah Segan and Andrew Bryniarski) and fresh new talents. Although fairly irrelevant, I must also state that two of the lead actresses are unbelievable gorgeous: Grace Phipps and Sierra McCormick.

The lack of self-reflection on the part of the makers of this film scares me. Every line delivered might as well be the cliché of "Life is pain!" All the bullies are shallow douche bags that are too easy to hate and the protagonist is so drab and 'poor me' that you just want him to top himself inside of five minutes of watching him on screen.The acting and effects are what you would expect but don't drag the film down anywhere near as much as the poor writing, which really does seem like it came from an angst-ridden teenager. In some ways you could say that this makes the film an accurate portrayal of the characters involved, but all it serves to do is make everyone unlikeable and each scene cringe-inducing in its transparency.Overall this film will only really please those who identify with this kind of mindset, at one point the 'hero' talks about how he'd love to get a tank and crush all the people that he hates, and we are supposed to sympathise with this! Otherwise this movie is a pain to watch, recommended only for joke viewings with friends, just so long as they aren't in their own angsty teenage phase.

The first 30 minutes are really solid, which is more like a psychological drama-thriller than anything else.But on the 30 minute mark that changes and it throws a supernatural twist on you which feels really random and took me out of the movie for a bit, but once I accepted that this is what the movie is like now I slowly but safely started getting into it again.And even though the movie most certainly is not without it's flaws I must say that this wasn't too bad of a watch, even though it's nothing spectacular but yeah I've seen hundreds of horrors that are a lot worse than this for sure... Seen hundreds that are better as well but that's beyond the point lol.And the acting is pretty good, and the gore is excellent, one complaint would be that occasionally the cast speak really low and it's hard to hear over the dark melodies being played in the background but overall not too shabby, better than I expected considering the rating of (currently) 4.6/10 for sure.5.5/10 from me, or rounded up to a 6.

It sickens me to see how poorly people rate horror movies these days. I once belonged to a group of horror movie fans, but now I am alone.Don't get me wrong. I hate B-movies. I hate the majority of Redbox horror movies that most people have not heard of. But this movie is truly something good and special, and to see it thrown in the gutter by people who I would have trusted as my horror loving peers, has disappointed me.I remember seeing "It follows" a couple years back and I thought it rocked. It was a throw back to 80s horror that I really appreciated it. So I did some google searches looking for the next "It Follows". That is when I came across my first internet review of Some Kind of Hate.When I watched it, I was not disappointed. I guess you could call this film a cult horror classic, since it is apparent from other reviews, that a very unique clique of people will appreciate this film for what it offers.From storyline, to acting, to environment, to just the feel and soundtrack and nature of the film, I really enjoyed it. If I was looking at these IMDb reviews, I would never have given it a chance. The plot and dialogue is simple, but interesting. One of the main characters is victim is extreme bullying. Karma takes spiritual form and comes back with a vengeance. It's not filled with the gore and special effects throughout the movie you might see in most horror movies that make it to the big screen, but its got story and heart. For the record, I would give it 1 star less than It Follows. But this still is a good movie, worthy of re-watching over the years.
