H8RZ

At points I thought it was a knockoff of 'Unfriended' but it's a pretty unique tale with a great ending. Give it a chance.

Good premise. Horribly executed. You'll see why quickly. At least I hope so for your time. You only live once.

H8RZ: An explosion and fire in a school lab at night, three dead, one seriously injured, one student with superficial wounds. The survivor is questioned by a School Board lawyer in the hope that the school will be absolved of any liability for the incident.

A strange tale emerges in flashbacks. A group of students had cheated on a test but were caught. To make up for this disaster they then hacked into the school computer to alter their grades. All seems well.

But then they start to get texts and emails, apparently from a student who had committed suicide over a year ago.

A good Horror/Thriller, a few implausibilities prevent it from being a great one. 7/10.

It's really sad that a brilliant film like this does not has any reviews yet. So I guess I'm the first here to tell you that this film is really really good. It should have been promoted a little bit so more of the audiences could see what are they missing already.

Pluses :-

#1 The Story is the strongest point of the movie. It's engaging with tension, with suspense right from the beginning until the end.

#2 The performances are the 2nd highlight. All the actors really played their character well. Especially the the characters "Alex" and "Laura Sedgewick" were brilliantly portrayed by Eliza Bennett and Abigail Spencer.

#3 It started really well and focused all the happenings to the center of the PLOT. The suspense was there.the thrill the tension was there, and lastly the climax it was really blown me off. I did not see that coming.

#4 Though it's a low-budget the direction the cinematography all were top notch with a great Background score as well.

Now the negative points....

Minuses :-

#1 Although the first 30-40 Min's and last 10-20 Min's was really fast paced but in between the pace had fallen of a little bit. After all it's a thriller and a thriller should be engaging all through the movie but it was not like that I'm not saying it was bad either but if they could have managed the pace a little bit in the Interval, Post- Interval parts, I could have given this an extra star.

#2 The backdrop of the story I mean the sub-plot (You will know after you watch the film) was not appealing to me, it was somehow non-reliable, non-realistic to me. It did worked out in the story but I think the sub-plot could have been much more realistic and much more intense.

Conclusion :-

This is a great addition to Thriller Genre, it is a must see for all the movie lovers out there. Don't think just see this film if you really love story or performance driven movies. Because nowadays it's really rare you know.

The title itself left me confused and after even watching the movie I still have no idea what it means !!

But that is not to say that I didn't enjoy it because I did !!

The premise sounds a bit dodgy (as does the damn title lol) though on most fronts it came out ahead. There's a few "pleasant" twists, the acting won't win any awards but is bearable. The music lacks somewhat as does the cinematography but you get what you pay for and this does lift itself above this.

Nothing spectacular but worth seeing nonetheless

A surprising 7 out of 10
