In Andy Fickman's slasher film, the familiar horror trope of a group of twentysomethings heading to a music festival takes a dark turn when they encounter supernatural threats. While initially engaging with its self-aware humor and nods to the genre, the film struggles with minimal character depth and a lack of narrative cohesion. The characters, including the birthday girl Olivia and her friends, often come across as stereotypical, leading to a disjointed viewing experience as the scares become repetitive and uninspired. By the end, Fickman's attempt at invoking fear falls flat amid an over-reliance on genre conventions without innovative storytelling.
Fickman crafts a slasher that initially capitalizes on genre tropes yet fails to deliver a coherent narrative, leaving audiences yearning for stronger character development.
Despite a promising start with its trope-filled setup, the film suffers from underdeveloped characters and a lack of a coherent story, weakening its impact.
