Re: They/Them
What a waste of time this was. It's a really bad slasher. Kevin Bacon lured me in but you realise pretty fast that this is a pile of crap. It takes over an hour for the first kill, and all the kills are lame as fuck - none of the weirdos are murdered, it's only the "faculty" that are taken out - so disappointing! With most of the time being spent on their "issues", calling this a horror film should be liable under the Trade Descriptions Act. And some of these actors are truly hideous. I don't even know what Darwin del Fabro is. That thing can't be human. Theo Germaine isn't much better. The film is a freak show.

Re: They/Them
Fuck Jordan. That character sucks.
I actually quite liked this but it should not have ended the way it did. I would have liked it much more if it had had the balls to stick the landing. That was a serious letdown and a missed opportunity. Honestly pisses me off.
I'll go with a B I guess but I'd be much more confident in my rating with a different ending.

Sure you don't see much but it's misleading to say that it takes over an hour for the first one. It's a letdown that most are off screen though.

Re: They/Them
Over an hour between kills isn't any better. You still have to sit for the majority of the movie while the mentally sick obsess over their conditions, before there's a meaningful kill.

Re: They/Them
This was atrocious and borderline offensive. That "Fuckin' Perfect" scene is the stuff of nightmares and ultimately the whole thing is incredibly bland and boring. Hard to believe a 3-time Academy Award nominee is behind this. One of the the year's worst. D
