Like many a horror movie, the unfolding drama has moments that test credulity. Yet writer-directors Eli Despres and Kim Roberts' teasing of genres and handling of actors also hints at psychologically insightful films to come.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
You won't jump out of your seat or grab your neighbor on this one. But you're likely to leave mildly intrigued, with a little something to think about.
Co-directors and co-writers Eli B. Despres and Kim Roberts make their feature debut with an uneven teens-in-peril thriller.
This 2004 debut feature by husband-and-wife team Kim Roberts and Eli Despres is pretty involving, though they strain to develop the girls' relationship problems amid all the suspense, and the plot grows increasingly unlikely.
A psychological thriller that establishes interesting situations only to lose its sense of direction.
