Very amateur, student-film quality.

Maybe Christopher Pike or RL Stine wrote this as a practice exercise.

Inconsistent plot, full of holes and bad transitions.

People who are supposed to pass for college? possibly HS students play a most unconvincingly lame and tedious game of hiding in a cemetery.

Yawn for several minutes as each of 6 enters through the iron-staked broken gates as what passes for character introduction.

Despite the fact that someone is tragically impaled there (in a very transparent practical joke gone wrong), when the movie cuts to 5 years later, no one has repaired the obviously dangerous and previously fatal ironwork.

Bobby, who did time for this accidental manslaughter, acts stand-offishly cold.

SO why is he there for this stupid closure/ reunion, anyway?

Oh, to play a joke on someone. Not even a good one. 5 yrs in prison, and still a one-act cornball.

People are dying... (yawn)

You can figure out who's shady.

Meanwhile there are a few Goosebumps- type red herrings, which are more annoying distracting than remotely convincing.

Some convoluted sex along the way, just to make sure you're paying attention, and remind you that anyone who gets laid in a horror movie ends up dying.

Some sideplots that you wouldn't care about, except that the main plot is so basic you'll want to divert yourself into thinking this is one of those movies where the tangents all come together.

It's not.

The ending is very Christopher Pike/ RL Stine.

I was able to rent this for free, and I got my money's worth.
