It has an Idea and Style, but no Follow-through

Rating: 3/10 (7 May 2015)

3.5 of 10. Very impressive suburban imagery and capturing of the suburban atmosphere that could make for a successful teen film in and of itself. Unfortunately, the idea - that there's this thing you can only get rid of by giving it to someone else who must give it to someone else ad infinitum - makes for a horrible metaphor for the setting, characters, and plot. This idea shouldn't be the base of a horror film, but a more intellectual drama/thriller that involves a financial pyramid scam.
As it is, we there's gore and graphic imagery to keep the simple-minded entertained but no follow-through to make the story believable. That makes it just another empty horror story.
The characters/acting and atmosphere/style keep if from being a complete failure, but not enough to make it worth following. The writer/director should stick to directing and look to other people for quality stories.
