Netflix thought this would be a good movie for me to watch based on my recent activity. Having recently watched “I Know What You Did Last Summer” (a film about recently graduated high school students) I guess it’s not too far a swing to a film about high school students.

But these are Christian high school students, and in very cliché fashion, the outsiders are labelled witches, and the upstanding Christians become bullies (there is some historical basis for this, but I doubt this happens in this present).

From there it gets a bit more complicated as to who is actually the villain, but I love the character arcs of the two main characters (and two side characters for that matter). Horror stories traditionally do not have happy endings, and well I’ll leave you with that.
