I watched this with my friend and in all honesty, we gave up with the plot with in the first half and hour/20 minutes because its so boring and predictable. We only continued watching because we found the multiple mistakes entertaining. There was wardrobe mistakes and editing mistakes. There were also special effects even though there was hardly any special effects. They used a lot of filler shots of random people walking around the college, but they kept on re using the exact same shot every now and then. As the days went on in the film, you would keep on seeing the same extra characters in the background wearing the exact same clothes and hairstyles.The acting was dull and just overall poor to be honest - not saying I could do any better (well actually I could of) - it was really hard to stay concentrated and interested because the actors didn't seem interested.

I was tempted to give this film one, or if possible fewer stars. I felt two was deserved because as bad as this film was it did keep me watching where many others would have forced me to turn off. It has the look of having been knocked up in a weekend. The special effects would have looked magical 5 decades ago but nowadays it is probable that they could have been created on a mobile phone and been far more impressive. The script from the film is the sort of thing that would be expected from a student during their first term at college if they had been asked to have it ready by Monday. Lines seem out of place and unrealistic and the overall pacing is wrong. There are scenes that are needlessly drawn out, indeed drawn out to such an extent as to be damaging to the feel and sense of the action; correspondingly there are scenes that are rushed onto the screen at such a fast pace that all realism is destroyed. I do not consider the acting to have been all that bad. Some scenes were very poorly acted but given the feel of the rest of the film I would imagine the fault lies with the director. I remember thinking that having appeared in this film was a good way of ensuring the end of an acting career but on the whole the acting was probably of a higher standard than the writing, direction, set design, in fact everything else about the movie. The film can be encapsulated as being like a bad accident; you won't want to watch it but you might not be able to draw your attention away. I can see a long future for this film as an example of what not to do in any school that deals with acting and direction.

This film is rubbish as a film and the stars are not for it in that respect but instead as a brilliant party game. Grab some friends, a few drinks and take a shot every time there is a mistake but drink responsibly people pick one type of mistake as in one of the characters same scene costumes changes or getting the name of the school wrong or the same people in the background etc you get the idea do not do it for all mistakes because you will be hammered ten mins in although that would maybe make the rest of the film better. It is comical for how bad it is and if you can watch it with a sense of humour you will be fine but if you are a serious movie watcher do not bother you will be seriously disappointed.

If this was a school project it might have just been acceptable. As it is not it is an abomination. I watched only through disbelief. Just dreadful, it should have a health warning. The poster (cover) bares no relation to the film and who ever promotes this should be prosecuted under some miss-representation of goods act! The acting would be laughable if it had been better, the continuity is nonexistent and did someone actually think no one would notice the repeated scenes, then again they were lucky someone watched at all! It beggars belief that a film company would thing making this was a good idea and how do they manage to survive.
