2013 Horror Fest: Bad Kids Go To Hell: 46 Out Of 100 Stars

Over stylized, frenetic, jumbled mess of a story that borrows from just about any horror or teen angst movie it can get it's hands on, Bad Kids Go To Hell tries so hard to be too cool for school, but more often than not just tends to languish in it's own incoherency.

A bunch of kids locked in detention that tries to be as much Breakfast Club as it can without breaking copyright laws, a back story lifted from Poltergeist, throw in some Carrie and ideas from probably half a dozen other movies with just a little bit of your own silly ideas. Then add a bunch of scenes that work better as bad music videos and there you go.

The movie looks really good, and the chicks are A+ with a lot of more sexuality and nudity than you'd think. And it does have a few inspired moments, but just not enough to come anywhere close to recommending.

Worse than not having any idea of how to convey what the fuck it is, Bad Kids Go To Hell doesn't even grasp the source material it's lifting it from.
