About the blog:

Well, hello!
Thanks for stopping by to read my opinions about movies that I see. Some are older and most are new. Some I go to see in the theaters (both live performances and movies) and some I watch from the comfort of my own couch and even more, I will watch from the amazing Netflix app.
Of course, these will be my personal thoughts about the targeted item, however, it will give you an idea of whether it's a colossal waste of time or worth a shot!

STORYLINE
Twenty years after an accident during a small town high school play results in death, students at the school resurrect the failed stage production in a misguided attempt to honor th
e anniversary of the tragedy - but ultimately find out that some things are better left alone.

Every School Has Its Spirit

MY REVIEW:
Yes, it's a found-footage style horror flick. Yes, it's not exactly a big budget ($100K plus a little bit extra for production.) It was a good "scare" with tons of jumpy moments.

I think my hair was a little big to see this movie.
Ah, whatever!
So the basics, this high school in Nebraska has a prop-malfunction that kills the lead in the high school play, Charlie. Twenty years go by and they are gonna do it again. That alone should be enough to be interesting.

Here's when it gets crazy, four students (One asshole bully, one blond cheerleader, one jock turned actor, and the theater princess) get "accidentally locked" in the school theater in the middle of the night and that's when the havoc ensues.

Yes, there are some plot inconsistencies, and the shaky-cam style makes my brain hurt, I do think that the purpose for this movie was served. It did scare the crap out of my a few times.
