Stephen Abell At the start of the movie, I wasn't expecting to enjoy myself as it appeared to be another "loner" gets bullied and fights back scenario. There's also a lot of washed-out colours in the opening sequence where we see Lincoln getting bullied. I think this would have worked a lot better had Lincoln not been the stereotypical loner-come-nerd - your typical movie bully fodder. They had a chance to address the whole bullying issue but missed a common truth, anybody can be bullied. Also, the entire scene would have been more striking if you weren't expecting it; get rid of the diffused colours for normal light. This would have also added a deeper and more prophetic character later in the film. In fact, it's the stereotypes that let this film down the most, even though they are well acted by a decent cast.As I stated above, the director likes to use colour effects to create atmosphere, which on the most part works well, though he doesn't stick to his own formula for the whole film, which gives it a jagged feel at times. Also, some more imaginative camera shots wouldn't have gone amiss and would have helped in a couple of murder scenes, especially as the murders were carried out in a specific way.For me, the best selling point of the film is the kills. Just for the original way they are executed. The fact that Moira has to cut herself for those slashes to appear on her victims is a magnificent idea... particularly when those cuts cause her pain. This is a woman willing to suffer in death to give death. The other good detail of the film is when Lincoln realises what's happening to his bullies and tries to stop Moira... believing she's acting on his wishes... Though it's the story's climax where writer and director, Adam Egypt Mortimer, and writer, Brian DeLeeuw, make up for not addressing bullying correctly. The scene where Moira meets her nemesis is well written and acted with feeling by Sierra McCormick. You can feel Moira's anguish, fear, anger, and hate seeping out of her dead pores.As for the rest of the cast, they are okay, though are restricted by the writing, in general. This could have been a stronger and more relevant story had a few things been altered. I would have to warn people, though, that the scenes of self-harm are a little hard to watch at times. So I have to give respect to the director for this. It shouldn't be an easy thing to view.If you like vengeful ghost stories this is the film for you... or if you've been bullied it's nice to see the bullies get their comeuppance, even if it's fictional. For the gore-meisters out there it's worth a watch for the originality of the kills.

Stevieboy666 Lincoln, a bullied rock kid, is sent out to a reform school out in the desert after sticking a fork in the face of one of his tormentors. Unfortunately the bullying starts all over again, however the spirit of a bullied dead girl called Moira just happens to be on hand to carry out bloody revenge on his new tormentors, often by razor blade. Quite an interesting idea. Can't help but feel sorry for this guy, though he does find comfort in the arms of a beautiful girl. Some fairly good gore to be seen, acting and production values both reasonable. Look out for a short mid-credits scene. Pretty average overall.

Bob Beckring Not the worst waste of time I've ever sat through. Cinematography was alright, gore was good, but that's about the nicest thing I can come up with. The protagonist, Lincoln, doesn't get a name until 40 minutes into this dog. We learn his girlfriend's name about 30 minutes in. Nothing really builds in all that time. Obviously, we're not intended to see the "good" kid as a totally sympathetic character, but his motivations are always pretty much a mystery. The "bad" kids, they get about 5 minutes of being mean and the rest of the film tries to be totally overwrought, but really just meanders. And nevermind that not a single one of the kids in this film looks younger than 28 (excepting Grace Phipps). The teachers looked younger than all the kids, but that's no big deal for a lot of high school slasher flicks that at least TRY to convince us that their goings-on are worth caring about. This was a boring one- gimmick piece of trash that should have just been deleted from the directors hard drive to free up space. I'd hoped to hear the Misfits tune that is this film's namesake, but licensing rights cost money. Too bad, just this once, that titles can't be licensed.

s3276169 Some Kind of Hate is a not half bad B horror. The premise is not that novel but different enough to be interesting. I suspect this titles primary audience is late teens and twenty somethings. Those who are fresh enough from school to still remember how horrible and cruel other teens can be. The main character is a supernatural entity who is summoned by the pain of bullied, victimized teens. The storyline is pretty basic but it builds quite well. That said, the violence and self abuse scenes can be a bit on the harsh side at times.For a B title the acting is quite good too. The whole cast but, in particular, the male and female lead and the girl who plays the vengeful spirit, really offer up decent performances. Combine all these elements and you have a reasonable horror flick on your hands. Six out of ten from me.
