    Tense drama of the feral instincts of the young, in which decency and bravado battle for supremacy; as the excursion goes horribly wrong, the group's emotional and moral crisis rings terribly true.

    Intelligent and interesting

    This is the sort of teen movie they should show in schools. It's an inteligent look at bullying and what happens when kids take things into their own hands. The film features a strong performance from Rory Culkin who is the target of the schoolyard bully.

    This film is absorbing and makes good use of its rural setting with strong cinematography and direction from debutant, Jacob Aaron Estes.

    NOT GOOD

    I agree with the other reviews. Total rubbish. Bad story, bad ending..........

    Do not waste one of your rentals on this film. You will regret it like one of the reviews on this website.

    They looked forward to it and were dissappointed.
