Boy, Netflix was really scraping the bottom of the barrel when they acquired this independently made movie. Where does it go wrong? Well, to put it bluntly, in every way you can think of. For starters, it makes the remarkable accomplishment of managing to badly miscast every key character, not just with teenage characters that are obviously played by actors who are in their late 20s (or possibly older.) But even if the movie had a cast made up of more convincing and capable actors, those actors wouldn't be able to do anything with a remarkably dumb story (with even more moronic characters) that moves slower than the pace of a snail. The really low production values (which for a time had me convinced this was a Canadian production) just add to the challenge of trying to sit through the entire movie. In the end, this is a thriller without any thrills at all.
