This is, basically, the plot ofThe Final.

Considering that the actors have very little film experience, they all do particularly well.

Lindsay Seidel, as Emily, goes from convincingly helpless to chilling as the only girl in the group.

3 stars

An area where the film suffers is the low level lighting.

The lighting, along with some great costumes, give the film a really creepy, almost claustrophobic feel.

Its further enhanced by the closeness of a number of the shots and the personal nature of the dialogue.

3 stars

There are very few bombastic speeches here, aside from by Dane.

Its not a perfect film by a long shot, but it is an interesting film.

Extras

The directors commentary is very good and highlights a lot that you may miss throughout the film.

3 stars

They also talk about the social basis for the film, high school massacres and being part of cliques.

Its quite funny in a cringe worthy way, but is better left out of the film.

The Finaltrailer is a decent enough trailer that builds the film around the idea of the horror aspects.

3 stars
