Disturbing Behavior

A lifeless, inert Stepford Wives for teens, stuffed to the gills with 90’s teen cliches that would feel like pandering if there was any effort put into this. Everybody sleepwalks through this thing. I’ve seen more energy in an Enya video. And to make matters worse, the studio interfered to the point of ripping out almost half an hour of footage, and you can feel it. The movie careens through plot points like a pinball, with developments happening out of nowhere, character changes that feel arbitrary, and plot threads and characters that go unexplained. Of all the 90’s horror movies to come out in the wake of Scream, this one might be the most obviously driven by an attempt to capitalize on a trend.
