Ratings and reviews

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING. This is a VERY low quality rubbish mess of a movie. Unbelievably bad. NO character development, a spoiler in the opening credits. What sort of film spoils itself? And they're just TEENAGERS. Why didn't these grown adults do anything to defend themselves? I literally face-palmed myself hard enough to actually hurt every 5 minutes, skipped a chunk in the middle, then watched the woman at the end just lock herself in the bathroom INSTEAD OF GETTING THE HELL OUT! 0 out of 10 billon stars. so bad.

Characters, plot, acting, ending... All terrible. I'd bet Fassbender wishes this never happened.

Great movie to watch.. It's not at all what you expect the end to be.. Cool..
