I'll give it points for not being the typical teen slasher and the acting, for the most part, was okay with some kudos to the lead (Lindsay LaVanchy) and it does seem like this is the movie the recent Black Christmas remake should have been. It is a little slow going (I think it was something like 4 ... 0+ minutes in before the first kill) but still worth checking out. **3.25/5**
