Highly Overrated But Still Good

Fantastic!

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

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.

This movie is bad. Cinematography is quite OK but acting is awful. Actually acting is not THE problem: it's the story that lacks of rhythm. Watching is a torture so I fast forwarded, but later it was boring as before.Furthermore the plot is totally not believable. Bullies are kids like the others: they are not nice, but definitely they do not deserve those tortures!Are the bullied psychopaths? No, they are not. Psychos do not need a whole night to exploit their madness. So what are they? I wish I knew! The characters are so badly designed that they even fail to be amusing, like in Saw or in Texas Massacre to name a few. They are meaningless.So the movie fails to be an horror because it is too mild and it fails to be a drama because it is far from realistic and you cannot fell empathy for any of the characters.Don't waste your time, do not watch this movie.2/10

There is only one actor I recognized in this film, so I assumed then that there would be poor acting and I would eventually shut it off. I was wrong. Not only was there good acting, but I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen. This movie shows you what pushing someone to their limit can lead to. This movie is mainly about retaliation against the popular crowd. The outcasts gang together to put a stop to the torture in the hallways. This movie has gore, violence, and a good depiction of what bullying can be like in high school. I too was bullied growing up and later bullied kids back in anger. Luckily I didn't mess with anyone crazy enough to attack back like they do in this movie. It is sad to think that this stuff actually happens. After this movie, I definitely will watch for who i mistreat. You never know what could come of it...

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.
