Sure, it's beautifully shot, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I was bored for most of the movie. Then, suddenly, it gets abruptly, over-the-top gory. But there's not a solid foundation laid for that violence. I was highly disappointed. (EDIT: bumped it up to a 5 overnight - kept thinking about it - can't be a bad thing...) Expand

About the two girls who stayed behind on their school break.

Also known as 'February', is about two teen girls from closely, but a different timeline. It was the boarding school break and everyone heading their home, but a couple of girls stay behind as they have no other choice. While waiting for their parents to pick them up, those few days do not go well with them. What it is and how the story ends, you should watch it to learn.

It is not a must see, or even it does not look fresh enough. Though very dark and there's a moment it peaks with its suspense. But it could not hold any further, or keep us expecting what might come. Both the tales that told parallely was distinguished at the end with a small twist. But not everything was fully explained. So you will be disappointed a bit on that ground on overall film.

Those young actresses were really good. Roberts and Shipka who never meet given the best performances in their respective roles. An horror with a less traditional narration. Feels familiar, but not really as entirely. Because if you don't know what its genre, you could anticipate a regular drama-thriller, but they manipulated the genre very well that you won't fully able to unpuzzle, even after the end. Just one time watchable film, in a common sense, but there are people who like this kind of film better than usual horror films.

I had heard good things about this one and it was solid enough. It has a spooky ambiance, and the twist is fine enough, but it never adds up to much. It's a perfectly fine, ultimately forgettable experience.
