It's an impressive first feature due its extremely low budget but fails to impress. The film opens strongly but declines sharply. It's plot driven and one note without any character development or layers to the story. It's a detective story that wants to be a film noir where high school kids seem acting out a Raymond Chandler story. The film heavily borrows from David Lynch, specially "Twin Peaks" but has none of its atmosphere or mystery. The filmmakers show some talent but need to learn more than imitating great films.
