13 Run Hide Fight

(#3) You may want to choose the first option. Though some critics noted that Run Hide Fight is slick and energetic, every one dismissed the film as a shallow and brain-dead exercise in exploitation. The first film distributed by right-wing publisher The Daily Wire—and directed by former Project Greenlight contestant Kyle Rankin (The Battle of Shaker Heights, also no good)—Run Hide Fight is set in the middle of a high-school shooting in which a teenage girl (Alexa & Katie's Isabel May) must fend off an attack by four of her gun- and explosives-toting classmates.

“An unholy cross between 'Elephant' and 'Die Hard' that depicts an armed attack on a Texas high school with all the realism of Dana Loesch’s wet dreams, 'Run Hide Fight' is a glib, artless, and reprehensibly stupid thriller that doesn’t even have enough on its mind to be provocative. It’s a movie made by someone who’s seen too many movies, and now made at least one too many as well.” —David Ehrlich, IndieWire
