Boring and amateurish production

Seems like a production made by a bunch of high school students with no acting or film experience whatsoever.
And it's supposed to be a horror film?
Too mundane to be even a drama.
After watching this for half hour I found this too boring to continue watching.
They should have hired some people with noticeable acting skills, instead of just
recruiting a bunch of stoned and drunk teenagers from the nearest high school campus.
I don't even want to admit that I watched this.

History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.

I actually thought the male lead did a damn good job. I just looked at the list of actors to pull up his name but there are no pic and it's alphabetical so I'm not sure who was who. Sara is the only name I could put to a character.

There were likeable elements. It was a pretty good effort for a cheap indie. I think it could be trimmed down even further. Too many moments taking me out of it. Seeing a LAV pack/cable on the actors. Catching them looking at the camera. Redundant meandering dialog. Things like that distract me. I bet a 60min cut could be pretty good. It was kinda scattered but I enjoyed it well enough.

It was a drug PSA masquerading as a horror movie.

Irrelevant, the horror aspect is played up in the descriptions when it completely lacks anything horrific.

The director just found a group of friends that did drugs and cast them. They basically are just high school students.

Also-- It was the annoyung juvenile type of drug use where they act completely obnoxious every time they are high or drunk... doing cheesy things that ravers from 1995 might do when they roll
