Plot: Has been done before. This movie in the context of high school.
Themes and Tone: The move goes for a dark theme and achieves it. On this level the film made an emotional impression on me.
Acting and Characters: Strong stereotypes but the female lead and especially Halston Sage's performances make up for this.
Direction: The movie is a slow start and spends too much time establishing the main characters as a typical mean girl clique. Part of the issue is the story itself (it's repetitive).
Score and Music: I saw this movie with my daughter. I asked if she recognized any of the music in the film. She said no. Not music I would choose to listen to.
Cinematography: This is actually one of the best features of the movie. Nice smooth camera work. Interesting angles and close-ups when needed.
Production Design: Sets and backdrop are very believable and added to the overall theme of the movie.
Special Effects: Aside from one jump scare pretending to be a special effect this aspect of the film is done well.
Editing: Transitions between scenes and other editing is clean and flows.
Pace: A slow start and eventually picks up to a decent pace.
Dialogue: Well done. The film is repetitive due to it's nature. Even so each scene of dialog is needed and adds to the movie.
I was surprised that I liked this movie more than I thought I would. I went because my daughter wanted to see a movie and she chose this one.
