It was refreshing to see the faces of well known actresses in their youth. In my opinion, younger actors/actresses seem to portray emotions a lot better than adults.
It is like reliving your own high-school experiences. Whether or not a person was the bully or the person that was being bullied, it is something each person can relate to. It is hard to juggle so many feelings at once when you are still in the coming-of-age part of your life.
So the question becomes, which path should you take? Do you follow what your heart wants or do what other people believe you should. As simple of a question that it is, it is a very difficult choice a person has to make. Especially when you are a teen.
The movie is not fitting of the horror genre even if there are very few elements to it. Romance, drama, mystery, tragedy. It is a sad love story. It flips between past and present.
There are some things which could have been left out but overall, the movie was pretty good. As a horror movie, definitely not. You can feel it is not one early in the movie. If horror is what you are aiming for, skip this movie.
I would have rated the cast higher but there is one character that just got on my nerves. Their actions never made sense. More so, they were always overreacting.
It is probably one of those types of series' I would put on back-to-back. I am a sucker for watching them all in one go. It does have an open-ending (don't consider that a spoiler) but there is enough information given throughout to know how it ends.
