“If there is one thing outstandingly wrong with this film it is its inability to determine whether it is horror, horror comedy, or black comedy. The premise of a suicide pact amongst a bunch of students has a little promise at the beginning, but that is blown out of the water by a really poor, as in pathetically poor, script not helped by banal acting. No one was convincing, even when a visually clever representation of online chat dialogue allows some sharpness and novelty but then fails to work with it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe plot is horribly flawed, and is simply unconvincing. The police are made to look like idiots by their ineptitude for little details. And wouldnu0026#39;t it have been more convincing had the u0026quot;suicidesu0026quot; been made to look like u0026quot;suicidesu0026quot;? At least the movie would have had some element of polish with a bit of brushing up around the fringes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut the biggest let down was the acting with flat lines, going through the copybook motions, and a patent lack of empathy between characters about the need for dialogues to interface and seem real.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is not really worth any more than three, and is best avoided unless you really cannot find anything better to do – like snatching a couple of hours sleep.”
