Not going to lie but the plot of this movie feels a lot like the horror video game “Until Dawn”. The basic premise is a group of friends get together, a prank goes horribly accidentally wrong. A year later the friends get together, but the group dynamic is off, and then someone starts playing pranks on the group again.
I honestly, couldn’t really be bothered to care too much about any of the characters as they all seemed very self-absorbed and just bad people in general, or rather people I would never associate with. It was interesting to see how the second half of the movie played out – if only to see how the characters were picked off one by one. But it’s not really worth any kind of re-watch.
