26 Shortcut

(#12) Compared (unfavorably) by critics to the likes of Attack the Block, Goosebumps, and Jeepers Creepers 2, the latest entry in the subgenre of horror films with teen protagonists centers on a group of students whose schoolbus driver takes them on an ill-fated shortcut that pits them against a serial killer known as "The Tongue Eater" and a bat-monster. Be grateful that they didn't take the long way home.

“Based solely on its own merits, Shortcut is both an amateurish production and a mindless genre exercise.” —Simon Abrams, RogerEbert.com
