Flying scenes, frat-boy face-offs and pyrotechnic punch-ups are punctuated by excruciating expository dialogue.

There are worse things for a horror-thriller about supernatural high-schoolers to not be. Like not scary. Or not thrilling. Or not as entertaining as an episode of Charmed.
Amelie Gillette, AV Club
Rotten
[A] muddled and most unmagical offering.
Justin Chang, Variety
Rotten
There is not a scary scene in the whole movie.
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail

The idiocy and sheer laziness of the whole concept ought to be the sort of thing director Renny Harlin (Deep Blue Sea) could make into glorious cinematic cheese...but he's hamstrung
