Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Just watched this nonsensical movie on DVD. Plot holes you could drive a bus through, and characters switch between extreme emotional states (e.g. scared to death - loving) with abandon. Spent the whole time screaming at the screen "You're doing what?!". Teenage characters forget mobile phones have cameras, parties can't be cancelled because they've been posted on social media (!) and, most incredibly (SPOILER), a girl leaves their boyfriend in the car whilst going to have a chat with the guy to tried to rape her! ("I can handle it", she explains??!!) As with the last reviewer, the end came out of nowhere, adding to the overall incoherence. Acting and camera-work okay.

It seems as if you will be watching a suspenseful horror film. Sadly, you will be mistaken.While I would watch a movie about rape-and-revenge, I would prefer it if it was made obvious in the description, instead of some nonsense about a curse.I expected some weird coming across a graveyard or some Indian burial ground stuff (that they mention at the beginning, by the way), with some vengeance being taken out and her friends picked off.Well, the last part was vaguely true.I'm sorry, but this is the biggest example of false advertising I have seen since 'Bridge to Terabithia' (2007). Was there more than one writer, in separate rooms, doing this and hoping the other person would come up with a similar premise? It seems like that.As stated above, I like the idea of a teenage girl deciding to get revenge on the lustful, vain jock who tried to rape her. But I don't appreciate disguising it as a horror movie.The ending is just so bizarre and out of the blue that I can't wrap my head around it. It made even less sense than ever at this point.Let me summarize by saying that if the movie had been truthful from the start, I would have given it about 5 stars. I would have preferred a story about a teenage girl escaping a curse, but the only horror is how you feel when you realize what the story really is.

In many ways, this is the kind of horror movie that Wes Craven's "Scream" was supposed to put on notice, making the case that you can't get away with stupid, thinly drawn, overly sexualized adolescent characters who seem not to have a clue about anything around them. I guess no one told director/co-writer Derick Martini or co-writer Bret Easton Ellis how ridiculous making such a clueless film would be in 2015. Not that the film itself would have been any better in 1989, but the act of creating it wouldn't have seemed so inane.There is, at least, an intriguing premise -- that the curse of Downer's Grove is the death of one graduating high school senior each year. Exploring whether the curse is real, in horror movie terms, might have been interesting, or whether it is connected to some kind of revenge of the natives who once occupied the land. This is hinted at but never explored. But this film is too scattered to do that, instead dropping vague references to drug problems (never really explored or taken seriously) and thwarted ambitions of abusive fathers (never really explored or taken seriously). Everything and every character here is a cliché. It would be one thing if they started out as clichés and developed into characters we might care about, but they don't develop at all. It is perhaps unfair to criticize the performers because, really, what could they do with this junk?, but they are mostly pretty bad. Some of those whose work I'm a little familiar with, like Kevin Zegers, Lucas Till and Tom Arnold, have been much better elsewhere, so I'm prepared to believe that most of the rest can be better than their work here would indicate. Hopefully, this will be a resume low-light for them, rather than a career suicide. But if the pedestrian direction in any indication, Martini himself shouldn't get many more chances to badly mishandle any material at all.

All right so in my understanding these is a movie about a curse that takes the life of one senior graduate each year. But this time it skipped or what? Because I could not see it. After a promising start the movie slowly becomes a big yawn. We follow the story of a teen girl who was abused at a party and manage to escape from the hands of her aggressor and not only that but leaves him with one eye. Now the guy torments the girl and seek retaliation. He wants to punish her for what she did to him and to hurt the people around her and also the ones who are trying to protect her.I chose a bad movie to watch tonight simply because it's a mockery for the viewer. At the beginning we expect to see a story then the film deviates from the topic and we see a completely different story. This is horror? Maybe for like ten seconds or so. Don't waste your time with these one, it has everything that we all saw in another movies and has nothing new to offer.
