This is an odd sugar-rush of a film. Whip smart, and well made... to a point. There are strange parts, this is a film where time travel and switching brains is no big deal and a guy can have part fly DNA. It's almost as if a 11 year oldThis is an odd sugar-rush of a film. Whip smart, and well made... to a point. There are strange parts, this is a film where time travel and switching brains is no big deal and a guy can have part fly DNA. It's almost as if a 11 year old pitched the story, I mean, the time travel machine is inside a bear. Of course, why not? I guess it sort of works in the end, but it takes some odd routes getting there. Enjoyable, if slightly off-putting Expand

It starts off as a really good slasher film (which I really liked), then (with a third of the film left) they get put in Detention, and then it become this weird and badly made sci-fi adventure. If it had just stuck to the slasher part of the film, it could have been brilliant. It was witty, well-acted and the reveal of the murderer was entertaining, it's just the plotless plot that ruins it.

Good if you want to pass the time and discuss it with a friend, but it's not really that good (unfortunately.

Or how to slowly waste a good and funny idea from the half of the movie onwards.
