Some Kind Of Hate (2015)
Ex-Teen idol Grace Phillips stars in this tale of revenge from beyond the grave that I can only describe as sort of like the "not the best" album from a band that you really like.
It's dark and lo-fi and kicks off with a close-up of an Arik Roper poster which is cool.
A troubled teen gets sent off to some sort of new-age camp for naughty kids where he is picked on by a gang of bullies. Summoning the restless spirit of a girl that killed herself on the camp some years previous (because of bullies) she sets about picking off the not-so-happy-campers one at a time.
It's got all the grit of a great horror combined with lots of jump scares and blood splatters.
However, it just fails to completely cut the mustard with its ghostly razor blade - probably as you've seen most of it before elsewhere and secondly there is not enough of a hook-line to catch you. If they'd added another element to this, even a gimmick it might have stood out more.
Still worth a watch however and certainly the springboard for Grace Phillips to move away from her Disney paddock.
6/10 Masks.
