This is a slasher who-dun-it. Jimmy (Nathan Ross Murphy) is the first to die. A small group of close friends attend his funeral, friends who all share a secret of a student who died from a prank. They soon realize that they too may become targets but they don't know who it targeting them as they have prank'd so many people, they have no idea who is getting revenge against them. To top it all off, the deceased had a twin brother who lived out of town and is now visiting attempting to discover what happened to his brother.The film was all over the place with killing and clues. The killer wore a mask, but no one alive knew that. When a mask is found, how was it associated with the killer? I liked the fact we had numerous suspects, but they should have developed the characters better.There is a scene where they close the trunk and we see an upside down Illinois license plate: A16 W732 which would read selm or 5ELM 9TV. I don't know if that was meant to be a clue, a message, or they just did it because they didn't have any way to pixilate it due to the budget. But the camera did land on it for a few seconds, I assume the director wanted us to see it. Your thoughts?Guide: F-bomb. Brief sex and nudity (Sari Sanchez)

A graduating class decides to prank a classmate at the beach which ends up in tragedy. What really happened is covered up. Sometime later the classmates are starting to die one by one. Who knows what they did last summer and who is going to die next? As you can guess this has been done a few times before but what is a little different is a creepy Marilyn Monroe mask and personally catered deaths. The way you died reflected what you did.It wasn't gory but a couple of scenes had you cringing. The effects were pretty good but the cast however was awful. What was well done was you were always wondering who was under the mask. You think you knew who it was but then alas.I was amazed at how awful these kids were to everybody. You here all the cruel jokes they played on people as they try and figure out who it might be which makes you feel no remorse for them(You also wonder why they aren't dead already).A couple of cool scenes is all you get in this one. It just feels like a been there done that kind of film. Avoid this one or maybe just watch the last 6 minutes.

I really enjoyed this film. In the day and age where every horror film consists of found footage with untalented actors, this was a breath of fresh air. It had a great running suspense throughout the whole film, the cast was great, and the story reminded me of classics like Scream, and I Know What You Did Last Summer. It was a really taut film that paid homage to great slasher flicks of the past, while not being cheesy or campy in any way. I would definitely recommend this film to any fellow horror fans out there! You will not be disappointed! Finally, I think this film is topical as it deals with the subject of bullying. Once again, it does so in an intelligent manner not commonly found in most horror films.

This movie scared me more than I thought it would! It kept me on the edge....well paced, creepy and not sure at all what would show up in the next scene or pop around the corner! The story line is even more scary when you think about all the harm that is done in today's world as a result of bullying....this movie chills you to the bone because of that realization. I liked the gritty, realistic tone of the movie.....and that mask was pretty scary!!! What also made the movie interesting for me was that I did not recognize any actor, so I did not have any preconceived ideas about any of the actors. It allowed me to sort of sink in and lose myself.....as if I was watching a group of friends that had no idea the were being filmed in their group scenes.
