Putting a twist on the slasher movie genre is something every film maker tries to do. How often do you watch one from the perspectives of the killers though? Not only that, but the killers are two High School girls. Plus, if you're a fan of comic book movies like Deadpool or the X-Men films, well those two girls are played by "Negasonic Teenage Warhead" and "Storm," Brianna Hildebrand and Alexandra Shipp, respectively. Is this something you'd like to check out?
Considering the premise of this movie, I'm glad it didn't opt for the darkly serious take of the story, and went for a more entertaining black comedy style direction by Tyler MacIntyre. I suppose we could have gone for a more dramatic and earnest look into what would happen if two teenage girls decided to try to raise their social status by way of secretly killing people, but where's the fun in that? If anything else, there's a twisted macabre sensation of being entertained in how teenagers try to murder people in gruesome ways. Several of those gory deaths looked bloody fantastic too.
Despite the grim social commentary about how being narcissistic and obsessed with social media, can encourage people to do dastardly things, this movie is also about friendship. The BFFs i'm referring to are of course Hildebrand as Sadie, and Shipp as McKayla. Both actresses are good in their roles already, but it's their chemistry together that truly makes this movie worth checking out. Besides the excellent murder scenes of course. The supporting cast from Kevin Durand, Craig Robertson, Jack Quaid, and Timothy V Murphy, are all good in this movie as well, but it's still all about Hildebrand and Shipp here. Oh, and the killing. All that killing.
