Lincoln, a bullied rock kid, is sent out to a reform school out in the desert after sticking a fork in the face of one of his tormentors. Unfortunately the bullying starts all over again, however the spirit of a bullied dead girl called Moira just happens to be on hand to carry out bloody revenge on his new tormentors, often by razor blade. Quite an interesting idea. Can't help but feel sorry for this guy, though he does find comfort in the arms of a beautiful girl. Some fairly good gore to be seen, acting and production values both reasonable. Look out for a short mid-credits scene. Pretty average overall.
... View MoreI had issues with this movie too. With its handling of the characters, with some clichés (or a lot) thrown into the mix and how it seems to evolve too. But it's in the title and it's not about how much you'd like to like the main character. I guess if you had to endure and live through certain circumstances, you might not be right in the head either. But it's about more than that.It's about making things right, it's about not being understood and it's about bottled up anger, that once finally released ... well it'll be difficult to bottle up again. Or get it under any kind of containment. One thing is for sure: this isn't for everybody. If you can oversee the flaws or rather live with them, you might be able to discover a very raw diamond in the making
... View MoreThe lack of self-reflection on the part of the makers of this film scares me. Every line delivered might as well be the cliché of "Life is pain!" All the bullies are shallow douche bags that are too easy to hate and the protagonist is so drab and 'poor me' that you just want him to top himself inside of five minutes of watching him on screen.The acting and effects are what you would expect but don't drag the film down anywhere near as much as the poor writing, which really does seem like it came from an angst-ridden teenager. In some ways you could say that this makes the film an accurate portrayal of the characters involved, but all it serves to do is make everyone unlikeable and each scene cringe-inducing in its transparency.Overall this film will only really please those who identify with this kind of mindset, at one point the 'hero' talks about how he'd love to get a tank and crush all the people that he hates, and we are supposed to sympathise with this! Otherwise this movie is a pain to watch, recommended only for joke viewings with friends, just so long as they aren't in their own angsty teenage phase.
... View MoreIn Some Kind of Hate, a bullied kid fights back and as a result he gets sent to some weird alternative school where he continues to get bullied. After wishing death upon the bullies he inadvertently reincarnates the flesh and blood ghost of a girl who herself was bullied years ago at the same alternative school where she supposedly committed suicide. Her name is Moira and she's the Freddy Krugar / Jason / Michael Myers character in this supernatural slasher film, sporting a necklaces of razor blades and capable of injuring others by injuring herself. Yeah, that's right, if she cuts her own wrist the person she hates gets cut as well, and if she breaks her own finger guess what, and if you try to shoot her in the head watch out because you're shooting yourself in the head as well. Pretty novel idea and orchestrated pretty well considering the obvious budget restraints the film had. It started out a little slow and I had my doubts but at the end I was thoroughly entertained and felt like I had witnessed the birth of a new iconic horror legend.
