The teenager Lincoln Taggert (Ronen Rubinstein) is frequently bullied at school by a mate. One day, Lincoln reacts and sticks a fork into the face of the bully. Lincoln is sent to a reform school and the intern Willie (Maestro Harrell) bullies him with his gang. One day, Lincoln accidentally summons the spirit of Moira (Sierra McCormick), a bullied teenage girl that died a couple of years ago. Now she takes vengeance initially on the bullies and then she kills everyone that crosses her path.

"Some Kind of Hate" is a slasher with a promising beginning with a good story of bullying. The viewer feels sorrow for the teenager Lincoln, under stress at home, at school and at the reform school. Then Moira destroys his enemy at the reform school. However, in a certain moment on, the story turns in a brutal and quite senseless slasher. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

I kinda just had to write a review on this film after viewing it, mainly because I found certain elements to it, to be some what ridiculous.

The story begins with Lincoln, a teenager/young man who is subjected to what can only be described as physical assault type bulling by a bully whilst at high school. During the assault, Lincoln fights back by stabbing the bully in the cheek with a blade. This is the only occurrence we see of his high school bulling, so we don't get a feel of anything leading up to this event. I would also like to point out that Lincoln is a very tall and handsome guy, not somebody you would expect to be a victim of bulling.

Anyway due to the injury Lincoln caused to the bully he is sent to this holiday camp\reform school where apparently the hottest chicks on the planet reside. I mean if this is where you get sent when involved in a violent assault, no wonder America has such high crime rates! The bad part to the camp for Lincoln is that it also hosts some guys, some of whom take an instant unjustified disliking to him, and immediately unleash some more physical bulling on him. Again this bulling does not make sense, there is no build up to it, no period of feuding or resentment - just hello, we don't like you, Bang! Smack! Wallop!

Lincoln has a few encounters with these bullies, but I never really feel sorry for him. Mainly because he is handsome, has a fairly bad attitude and very quickly obtains the hottest of the hot chicks as his girlfriend - trust me you would take a few blows to be with her. Again this is not the typical exploits of a victim of bulling.

After his most violent encounter with the bullies, Lincoln finds a quiet spot to himself in a shed where he voices his anger towards the bullies and what he would like to do to them. This accidentally summons the spirit of a girl called Moira, who was bullied to death by some of the occupants of the camp a couple of years back. Moira tells Lincoln that she will rid of his tormentors to gain some vengeance for her own demise. Against Lincoln's wishes, that is exactly what she does. Oh yeah and guess what, Moira is also a hot chick (though admittedly still bears her death injuries whilst in spirit form).

So that basically some's up the rest of the plot to the film, however once Moira kills Lincoln's bullies (Moira kills by inflicting injuries on herself which subsequently inflicts them on her victims), she then just goes on a rampage and kills anybody she encounters - Which also feels a bit silly as her original 'back from the dead' cause was all about avenging bullies but quickly descends into psychopathic-spree-killer-spirit.

In the mean time Lincoln and his hot girlfriend Kaitlin of course try to stop Moira, though Kaitlin does at one point form a bizarre alliance with Moira where she voluntarily gets the malevolent spirit to injure her??

Speaking of Kaitlin, a pretty girl, with a seemingly nice nature - Reveals to Lincoln that she had previously bullied an x friend to the point of suicide, which is why she ended up in reform. Erm, she really does't come across as somebody that would do that. -silly-

Another gripe of mine is how everybody reacts when approached by the ghost of Moira. These people knew her and know she is dead, and don't appear to be at all shocked when the blood drenched murderous entity walks up to them. Rather than fainting or running for the hills they just engage in conversation with her - SILLY!-

Moira by the way is not particularly scary, she is more just an adolescent vengeful brat.

The ending to the film could disappoint, but may also satisfy as is fairly unexpected.

This it is not a terrible film - it has positives, there is some slick direction at times, good lighting and camera work, great effects for the gore, mostly decent performances. Sadly this is over ruled by the silliness and at times laughable script. The fact that many of the reviews on this site have not also commented on the silly aspects to the film, well that gives me...hmmmm, well, well some kind of hate!

Maladjusted adolescent misfit Lincoln Taggert (a solid and sympathetic performance by Ronen Rubinstein) gets sent to a remote school for troubled kids. After Lincoln finds himself being mercilessly tormented by a group of mean bullies, he inadvertently conjures up the lethal spirit of fellow deceased bully victim Moira (well played with frightening intensity by Sierra McCormick), who embarks on a ferocious vengeful spree.

Director Adam Egypt Mortimer, who also co-wrote the dark script with Brian DeLeeuw, presents an interesting array of credibly messed-up teen characters, makes nice use of the desolate desert locations, generates a good deal of tension, maintains an appropriately bleak'n'brooding atmosphere throughout, astutely nails a strong sense of adolescent angst and anger, and delivers a generous amount of nasty gore. The sound acting by the capable cast keeps this movie humming, with especially stand-out work from Grace Phipps as the sultry and spunky, yet spiteful Kaitlin, Spencer Breslin as loyal friend Derek, Maestro Harrell as the antagonistic Willie, and Michael Polish as ineffectual camp supervisor Jack Iverson. The uncompromisingly grim ending packs a devastating punch. The filmmakers warrant extra praise for depicting the severe emotional and psychological damage wrought by bullying in an unflinchingly stark and brutal manner. Kudos are also in order for Robert Allare's moody score and Benji Bakshi's crisp widescreen cinematography. A worthy scarefest.

Bullying has turned Lincoln's life into a nightmare. But he learns the true meaning of terror when he is sent to a remote school for troubled teens and the harassments start all over again.

Only this time, someone is watching. A teenage girl named Moira who was driven to suicide by vicious bullying years ago.

When Lincoln accidentally summons Moira from the grave, he unleashes a vengeful force on a mission of revenge.........

It's a sound idea, having a spirit, who went through great pain in life, coming back as a kind of unwanted guardian angel, killing people who may or may not do you harm, but then for only you to get the blame for the killing, and having you end up paying the ultimate sacrifice?

Yes, I thought Candyman was a good film too, but this movie rips it off within an inch of its life, and whilst the spirit self harming herself to inflict injury on others is a pretty sound concept, the film itself doesn't offer anything new to the horror genre.

We all know that Lincoln is a troubled teen, his dad played Leather-face in the remake of Texas Chainsaw, and he was Butterfinger in Hudson Hawk, so that's not a good staple for a role model for anyone.

He also dyes his hair and stays away from everyone, so he's obviously a target for the dastardly bullies.

It's been done a thousand times before, the revenge because of bullying film, and this is pretty much an ordeal to get through, despite the ridiculously short running time.

Do yourself a favour, leave this one alone.

SOME KIND OF HATE is another grim and grimy B-movie horror flick with a generic feel. I do get tired of these greyed-out lifeless productions with underachieving actors who barely do any kind of acting at all. This one tells an age-old story of classroom bullying, which leads the oppressed victim to summon up the long-dead spirit of a girl who proceeds to wreak gory mayhem on the bullies responsible. The tale is heavy on the gore and light on everything else; singularly unsatisfying, with the only feeling evoked depression.

A young victim of bullying is getting "help" from a ghost-girl who once was a bully-victim herself, but he soon finds out that this "help" consists of relentlessly killing all the bullies. This premise was promising enough, but the movie still failed, lacking a coherent story. It was as if whole segments of the story were left on the cutting-table, making the left-over movie turn into a Swiss cheese.

At the start of the movie we see Lincoln being bullied at home by some big guy. Who is that, his father, stepfather, big brother? Next scene we see Lincoln attack some bully at school, supposedly after a long history of being bullied, but we never see or hear anything about that history. Next scene: Lincoln has joined some sort of boarding school for juvenile delinquents. Why, what happened, was he convicted, and if so, for what? Again no explanation. Out of the blue the ghost of some girl Moira starts a supernatural killing-spree, apparently (at least at the start) on behalf of Lincoln. But who this Moira is or was is only disclosed almost an hour later, with the tiniest of information. And what on earth are all these dark secrets that the board of this institution harbours? Here again only vague hints, no clear explanation.

It goes on and on like this and that's pretty frustrating if you are trying to involve yourself in the story. It doesn't help that the acting is at best mediocre, and that there are many illogical things, like the Moira-character not only killing the bullies and the school's directors but also nice and innocent persons like Lincolns friend. Why would she do that?!

What's left is an incoherent story with many plot-holes and too little scares. Sure, with blood flowing abundantly, but that alone doesn't make for a decent horror movie.

This 2015 horror film tells of a bullied teen who is sent to a reform academy after standing up for himself. He soon becomes bullied by some of the kids there and wants deadly revenge. He gets his wish when a deceased girl's spirit does the gruesome favor since she was recently bullied herself. This starts off ok, but kind of goes downhill and I didn't like the ending. The film sort of follows the revenge formula of "Evilspeak" and "Carrie." If you're a fan of supernatural horror or slashers, give it a try.

When they were writing the story: "So this is about a ghost and bullying, a boy is bullied in school" "Let's make him suffer by adding an alcoholic father" "Send him away for standing up for himself and add some more bullies in the new school" "Give him a girl. She's a bully too that will experiment on him" "You know what? Make the bullied ghost mess with his psyche" "Then kill everyone including the guy we're focusing on on this story" "Don't give him a happy ending. He's already damaged inside and out, so let's just burn him alive" "Good idea"
