Oldest highschoolers you'll ever see


Wow, this literally may be the worst ripoff of MBV I've ever encountered but the "kids" in this movie are WAYYYY too old. The problem with casting these older actors is they do not emote like younger- even late teens. Thats why the acting comes off flat. Its not that they can't act, they are simply set up to fail trying to come off as snarky young highschoolers. Oh and some are simply terrible actors to begin with.

Also, don't know how smart it was to cast a firefighter as a villain. Just bad taste more than edgy or scary.

Blah followed by meh

Really? I thought they looked close enough to high school age, atleast more-so than a lot of (especially 80's) slashers, where the students look about 35 :P

Can you be more specific? Who looked old? I thought all the girls looked like teens especially the actress that played annie i thought the guy that played billy looked the oldest and that deputy but thats it.

You said you didnt like the plot,well its a straight to dvd movie you cant expect something thats academy awaard winning,but i thought it was fun film

Original post is fairly specific. Actors are too old and not convincing in their roles, plot is a verbatim rip off of My Bloody Valentine, Fireman as a killer is a creepy (and not in a good way) villain.

Aside from the 25 shill ten votes to keep it barely above water, it will likely sink to the "3" range score. Prob deserves a 4.

Like I said it was a fun film,my only problem was who the killer actually is
Was and the motive its like it came out of nowhere. Im just a geek for movies like this even if critics pan it

no, the Mexican girl looked about 25 and the blonde Homecoming Queen, Cassie Herron looked about 21 but maybe, maybe the girl who played Loren could pass for 18 and the girl who looked the youngest was the blonde girl who played the Annie character. but Loren's boyfriend looked at least 25 and so did the gay guy and so did the black cop. and the guy who got burned to death at the beginning looked so old for being just a sophomore in high school it's a joke, guy was at least, at least 25 years old. but the hot, brunette friend of the mean Asian girl looked about 18 years old. and the slightly over weight girl who kept having sex looked like she could pass for 18.

i will buy this movie later in the week. even if its bad their have to be a few good scenes, ripping off mbv is not a bad film to get ideas from


Rob Zombie is one of the greatest directors today

They looked fine to me.

that's what I thought while watching this. I thought that there were quite a few actors who played main parts who were too old to play the parts that they did. for instance the guy at the beginning who dies by being burned to death and the boyfriend of Loren, the main girl, also the Mexican girl who was with the older black guy? by the way I didn't buy that happening. I mean the guy had a bunch of gray hairs and looked like he was about 25 at least. and the gay guy had facial hairs which were too thick for him to just be in high school. but you know what they do with movies almost EVERY SINGLE TIME. they cast 25 year olds as 18 year olds. the only place it consistently doesn't happen is with tv shows on the Disney or Nickelodeon channels.
