Initial Thought: I don't know why I have waited so long to watch this. All I've heard have been quite promising. Also it's foreign so I expect it shall be quite intense.
Characters/Acting: Xavier Samuel is the biggest star for me here. I also kind of recognize the crazy girl. That family was absolutely, pardon my French, fucked up! I swear that girl needs some serious help. The only character I liked was the goth chick. The performances from all were quite top notch except the friend who didn't do much.
Story: The psycho classmate Lola decides to get brutal revenge on Brent who turned her down for prom. It's crazy how we here a beautiful song in a horror movie and then it becomes one of those songs you whenever you hear it makes you uneasy. This has one of those. The gore isn't too often, but when it does it gets quite messy. The friend's story seems a slight bit of out place with the rest of the movie. There are a few really good twists you don't see coming. I thought the ending was quite badass.
Directing/Writing: Sean Byrne is mostly known for short films I haven't seen. He takes on the role of director and writer for his feature length film debut. For some reason he hasn't done a film since this one.
Final Thought: This was a brutal film. It wasn't too excessive with it though. There were a few moments where you go "Wtf is that even possible?". All in all though it was rather enjoyable and unique. If you haven't seen this one yet do so. It's something else though and not for the squeamish of course.
