Horror

Fifth film in my Horrorfest 4 marathon, a lot better than the last two but still has some strong weaknesses. It's a basic plot, nerds are sick of being an outcast and bullied so they capture some upperclassmen/jocks and torture them to teach a lesson. Where it falls short for me is the first half the "bad guys" feel like they are just playing pretend or dress up, they are just not believable. Secondly it's just to preachy concerning why they are torturing their captives. Sub par acting but at times is still enjoyable once you accept the quality of the movie.

If anyone is ever caught bullying, this should be required viewing as part of their punishment. This was pretty awesome. I love the black/white teaser scene at the beginning. Banjo picker in a scarecrow costume is extremely creepy (basically anything with a banjo picking is creepy.) I also love the opaque kabuki mask costume.

Is it wrong to be rooting for the sadistic killer nerds? There were times when I was just doing that... cough - huge asshole, dumb as rocks, self-satisfying jock - cough.

While the concept looks kind of cool on paper and the poster seems like a gritty badass movie, in reality this is B-Grade low budget fare without any merits.

Is this supposed to be horror? Because who's gonna get frightened by the biggest assholes on the planet getting what they deserve? The characters are way to stereotypical and the bad acting makes them unbelievable.

The sad thing is that there isn't even a good payoff because there isn't any good gore or even blood at all.

- Bullying is a recent phenomenon very common in England and in the States where TV has nothing to do besides sending blood to people. This is the topic of this porno trash, a buch of kids that are tormented everyday by the school bullies, decide to take matters into their own hands and do it vengeance style on a desert house. Everything fine with a lot of good tension until the last part of the film that is complete nonsense…instead of punishing the titty cheerleader with some slaping, they should have slapped her ass and fuck her like a pony…that way they just last all the jerk-offers…

Bela porcaria.

I liked it. I was expecting a bit more of tension moments and gruesome scenes but still, I liked it.

The prologue of "The Final" is actually quite effective and leads you to wonder what led to this. Some horrible thing happened and it's like a town secret no one wants to be reminded of. Gave me hopes that this film could be a hidden gem.

But alas, it's not. Not even close. The idea and setup are interesting, but once we get to the revenge act, it is so bad. Most of it is the main kid preaching surface-level logic and psychoanalysis that is so BORING. Those having revenge sought on them are chained in a room with the most passive looks on their faces, just as bored as I was it seems.

Cheesy, but ok. They spent a fair time trying to develop the outcasts, but they were neither believable, sympathetic or interesting enough. One gets gently slapped a couple of times, one gets taunted for not being invited to a party and another gets milk spilt on him. And this is enough for them - quite a few of them - to go completely insane and kidnap and torture their classmates. None of them seemed distressed enough to go to all the trouble of what they end up doing, they mostly just seemed kind of bored. The acting and writing were pretty rubbish too. Still entertaining enough and an interesting 'what if' though, but it was just fun torture porn instead of an emotionally devastating experience or something.
