    The Brits may have one of the most strong cinemas in Europe, but horror films are NOT their genre. The story was cheaply-made and didn't really contain something original. The cast is summed up by a bunch of talentless teenagers, and it just uses high school stereotypes disgustin...( read more)gly wrong to portray what it seeks out to - if it does seek out to portray something after all. Jon Wright should make a movie when he has something to say - for now, he's only just fooling around with mediocrity. It's not a good slasher film, it's not scary, it's not horrific, it's not funny, it's not anything really. I didn't get why the kid with the glasses had to die, neither why the punk kid had to go deaf since either of them never harmed anyone, and congratulations to that girl for managing to make a call without hands. Other than that...well, nothing!

    Well dont know what to make of this tbh, although it kept me entertained it wasn't anything groundbreaking, I can understand the whole skins meets horror slasher thing untill you see the bad guy himself, then you think well thats slightly wrong really; but anyway defo kept me ent...( read more)ertained for a bit and Ive seen worse for sure...

    "Please can Darren be excused from games because he is dead."

    This film was written by a guy called Stephen Prentice (I think - or something similiar), and if he carries on writing movies with this level of quality he deserves everything he'll get. This film is by far one of t...( read more)he best horror movies I've seen for ages. The writing is flawless and works on so many levels with a stunning depth of character. The plot is completely simple but due to the great character work has lots of neat twists and turns. You want comedy as well? Not a problem, it's here. Gore? Yep, loads of it (I cheered out loud at least twice) and a pencil-trick to rival the Joker's. This film weaves between horror, drama and comedy so perfectly that it's a shame there isn't more hype. In fact, I liked it so much I could watch it again - which is rare with horror movies. Genius.

    I really liked this film. The idea of a bullied teenager coming back from the dead to kill those who pushed him to suicide is a good one. Everyone is well cast and seem to take delight in the demise of their characters. Pettyfer clearly relishes the bad boy role and Middleton is ...( read more)also excellent. Plenty of gore to be had, could have had a touch more humour though. A good British horror film.

    hey kids. did you like totally heart skins? like not the first two series' cos they were so passe but the richard series - the one with cook - wasn't that like the tina turner of them all. the big daddy kane. the el nino of the hdtv dvd blu-ray experience.! well you'll totally ad...( read more)ore the stone roses outta Tormented. it's filled the the brim of your favourite quotes 'as if' ! Ahahahahahaha. 'Lame'. LOL (i serge gainsborough'd the 'lol' outaa that). And all your - nicole kidman, ghostly horror film with kids who cant step into sunlight - ones too. oh yeah and its got Michelle & Jal playin so far against type - they're showing their emotional depth in this by "acting". in one scene they drink shots of vodka - that'd never happen in skins. they'd be drinken slippery nipples and lashing down farmers daughters all night. oh and they're smoking & fighting & taking hard drugs like cannabis too. james dean hasn't got a bikes insurance on them! wowzer. an because this film is british made its soooooooooooooo much better than anything we've ever charlie sheen. the topline new range on show here is a john travolta performance circa 1996 - PHENOMENON bbz!!! oh how the victor meldrew's have changed- this is our braveheart, cos we all talk & act like brats. cos 'they' know different.

    Ordinary fucking people. I hate them.

    The films a "slasher movie for the skins generation" and by that they mean its a fucking inane waste of anyone with half a brain's time. it is so pretentious - like THIS is what young people want. Granted i am no longer classed as 'young' but how in 5 fucking years have we gone from Adaptation, Panic Room, The Bourne Identity, Punch Drunk Love, 28 Days Later & City Of God to a world where films like this this & Donkey Punch actually get released? Makes me fuckin ashamed. This piece of fuckin sh*t wants to be so fuckin cool, it wants to be 'right now', it's self-referential - like a character in the film thats SCREAMING for attention and affection. Or two put it in terms us fogies will understand - a fly hovering over a glass of Shiraz that we weakly try to swot away with our half finshed Guardian crossword. No harm to the creators but if you're gonna be an in-the-moment type film dont have two Vines song in the space of 5 mins - destroys your cred, well, what little of it you had to start off with. It was probably writen by 2 lads in their 30's who like nothing more than chatting about how much the new Bob Dylan album is so much better than anything he's done since selling out to Starbucks recently and how Chesney Hawkes is very-much an under-appreciated solo artist and not at all a one hit wonder.

    jesus -i fuckin hated this film, popular kids bully fat kid - fat kid dies - comes backs and kills them all.

    That's it man, game over man, game over! Game over and we're all still left with that fuckin sour taste of another disappointing piece of sh*t film lingering in our mouths. The one saving grace was - actually, no, not even the schoolgirls uniforms make up for it. This was Sharon fuckin Stone type Diabolique. I actually fast forwarded thru a sex-scene it was that fuckin bad. yes. A sex-scene. i never thought in a million years i would be ever admitting to that. i knew by then there wouldnt be anything to gain by watching it an had already realised that no nudity would be on show. Avoid this film. It is not funny, nor scary, nor indeed good in any way, shape or form. it is atrocious. really. 0 / 5

    Difficult to rate,i cant decide if it was utter rubbish,boring or okay. It was not an horror movie but it was not funny either...it was kind of pointless and full of nothingness.
  • October 8, 2009
    One of the best Brit horrors I've seen in a while! The cast is hot, the deaths are bloody, and some parts are a bit comical. Like Marmite you'll either love it or hate it! It's Skins meets any teen slasher! If you killed yourself after being bullied at school, wouldn't you reek r...( read more)evenge on your attackers? I would. Enjoyably evil.
