A snarky, post-modern deconstruction of slasher films. Too bad it has little to offer beyond its sarcasm. This is a disposable film whose expiration date has long past. It was interesting in the months surrounding its initial release but it already hasn’t aged well. The needless sequels and parodies have reduced the production as well by underlining its vacuous core.

Proof that popular doesn't equate good.

The funny thing is that the girls in the opening of the trailer are the actual rebels, the real "alternatives". Any slack-jaw can get a tattoo and act like an ass, insult their parents and put their fleeting desires over what's actually best for them. Happens all the time.

If you're going to be a rebel, at least do it differently than everyone else. Do it in a way that actually improves your life and the lives of those around you.
