"Kids today, no respect!"A pupil kills himself due to being bullied, and despite not knowing him, head girl Justine (Tuppence Middleton) speaks touchingly about him at the funeral. That is until Jason (Olly Alexander) calls her a hypocrite. To compound her error of judgement, she starts hanging round with the bullying kids, just as they start getting text messages from the dead boy telling them that they are going to die.
A stalk and slash featuring a school populated by over age actors giving cliched approximations of life. This annoys rather than entertains, as there is a good film in here trying to get out, but it compounds its lack of sympathetic characters by throwing away the punchline far too early and easily.
