Why do they kill? Why??

That's the big question. I mean this is not the same kind of why, why Michael Myers is killing or the Hitcher-Highwaykiller. I think the end of the film doesn't make sense. Also the fact that they want to kill themselves or at least Emmet. Why they didn't plan to play the badly wounded who survived it, like in the end of "Scream" which is anyway copied. And what's the motive of Mandy Lane at all? Emmet does everything what Mandy wants from him, but why does she do all that? There seems to be no reason to take revenge for something or anything else? Only that they go on her nerves that they all want her? That's too airy. Maybe the friends of the guy who crashed at the edge on the swimming pool gave him from then a hard time. But there's nothing to see about that in the movie. And even though it wouldn't make sense, because why should Mandy help Emmet to take revenge when she's not giving' a damn about him?

The reasons why i'm giving it not less than 5 points is that the film has a nice photography, an acceptable soundtrack, a promising start and the direction is a little better than the usual teen horror movies. It's a bit more realistic slasher and two or three elements are interesting.

But considering that it became so much so good criticisms this is NOT such a great or innovative slasher movie. No, it isn't!
