A smarter than usual college slasher with an actual plot and mystery to solve this time around. Usually, it seems like these movies start off by listing out all the possible death scenes and building the film around those, but this movie takes the opposite approach. It's well plotted and classy, but the murder scenes feel more like an afterthought which might explain why horror fans aren't as keen on this one as they should be. It's also mostly shot in a boring, flat way without much style. A rare case of a good script slightly brought down by the other aspects around it (although a lot of the acting is pretty good).
