Alien at the Movies

It's "Paranormal Activity" meets "Unfriended" meets "Phantom of the Opera" when teens plan to derail a high school play whose 1997 version had a tragic conclusion. This "Scooby" gang (composed of the jock, the cheerleader, the prankster, and the drama queen) gets trapped at an after dark necktie party, your typical low budget dumb teenage slasher movie but sans the slashing. The film isn't very scary and the script is so stupid. Why would anyone put on a play featuring a hanging, let alone revive one that involved an accidental death? The major qualification for the 4 lead roles seems to be that the actor's first name must match that of their character's name. (Frank & Kathy Lee Gifford must so proud of their daughter, Cassidy) Were all of those shoe shots/foot footages artistic interpretations or facial expression avoidance? This shaky cam style of self-documenting events becomes annoying very quickly. Even at a mere 81 minutes, it was a bit excruciating to endure. 

Alien gives it 1 "hangman's noose" star out of 4.
