Final Exam

Post by hotsake »

I actually really liked this movie. There are quite a few eerie moments throughout the film and while there is a lot of time before any of the killing starts the story is decently entertaining and there is a sense of tension sprinkled throughout the movie. The characters were varied and some were even likeable. This movie borrows heavily from Halloween from certain shots to the music, to the silhouette of the killer appearing in the background of many scenes. The fact that the killer has no motive, backstory or trademark look or weapon isn't the issue. The issues are that while some of the kills are quite sudden and jarring most of them are underwhelming or completely off screen. Also I found the killer to be quite bland and forgettable. I don't mind that the killer doesn't seem to have a motive but they should at least have given him a personality or something.
