This is one of those films where the premise was so great, that when it came to delivery, it didn't necessarily get all the way there. A dark comedy combining the teen comedy genre with a slasher flick seems like a great idea and when it works, it works well. But the motives of the main characters are never really fleshed out as sometimes it seems they are doing it for social media followers and sometimes for the love of the game, so to speak.

There was an almost absurdist humor that was very enjoyable when they actually decided to go that route (i.e. Josh Hutcherson and Craig Robinson's characters), but you can tell the writers got a bit scared that it would alienate the audience, and for 88% of the movie, we get a pretty straightforward slasher flick with humor peppered in here and there. And they were WAY too stingy with the pepper. The biggest problem is that, if you're not going to lay on the comedy as much, you should probably care a little bit more about logic, which it doesn't seem anyone really cared about because I guess forensics isn't a thing? Not to mention, there is a major subplot that is kinda just thrown away at the end with barely an explanation.

Don't get me wrong, this movie was a solid 7/10, but I was expecting to love this way more than I actually did. They relied way too heavily on the teen drama aspect and forgot they were making a dark comedy at points. At some points I thought I was watching a Disney Channel Original Movie as the story got more and more predictable towards the 3rd Act. All in all, this movie works because of the dedication of Hildebrand and Shipp who both make this movie, the fun story and the off-the-wall humor, when you do actually get it.
