*decline*. Jesus, I usually have a wicked high tolerance for these Gen-Z-catered idiotic mainstream horror flicks but this was abysmal. I'm offended that this could even be uttered within the same sentence as the rip-roaring, unnerving, and highly idiosyncratic 𝘜𝘯𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 films which - at least for a time - were required to shit on because at the time Facebook was still this relatively new and trendy thing that kids liked... but now that it's dying can we finally admit those were actually both genius *and* truly scary? Especially after this absolutely formless drivel. Flimsily acted even by these movies' low standards, and its depiction of mental illness can be generously described as execrable - it initially begins as a sort of interesting dissection of social media etiquette and the very narrow view of what we consider to be 'weird' by its standards... but then it reveals its true colors by demonizing these very real conditions/behaviors by way of shoddy technophobic bullshit. The thing is, this actually has some good horror movie imagery in it too - a fair amount - but it's made in such a repellent way that I also don't really care. Plus it's overcut to hell.

This game was both first and third person and was made for PC, GameCube and PS2.

Kind of a precursor to Battlefront in some ways.



The mediocre graphics and slightly clunky gameplay gave way to lots of cool features including one of the first games to use force powers. There is something to be said for shocking a group of stormtroopers at the same time.


I recently replayed some of it, and other than than poor graphics by today's standards, it was still fun.

You have to follow the rules of the sequel
He we go again with our survivors of the first film trying to survive the sequel. Another great opening sequence with the premier of Stab. The film in the film based on the murders of the first film. Ghost face is back but who could be behind the mask this time. A great film for Slasher fans.
