Tommy Miller killed his parents, then went to his high school and killed his classmates at the dance. He was never caught.
Twenty years later, one of the two survivors from the school is murdered. Her younger sister, who is currently in high school, is also killed. Coincidentally the detective sent to investigate is the other survivor of the massacre.
High school student Julie, whose uncle is the detective, is nervous about a killer being on the loose. Her friends speculate that it could be Tommy Miller come back to kill again.
The police are having none of their teenage shenanigans, especially on Halloween. When one girl calls 911 because she hears someone trying to get into her house, the police ask if it’s a joke. Then they tell her they’ve been getting a lot of prank calls and say, “don’t make last night make you nervous... you know the number to call if you’re worried.” Yes she does and that’s why she called. Next victim status confirmed.
The most disconcerting part of the film is that the high schools students appear to be as old as the detectives. One is even balding. If you lined up the entire cast, and made someone guess as to who were the adults and who were the high school students, they wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
This is an Irish slasher film. There’s nothing new here as it follows standard storylines. To be honest, the reason I watched it was the review I saw below on Amazon prime. I was curious as to what the cast looked like since someone was so repulsed by them. My imagination was far worse than anyone I saw on screen. They mostly looked like anyone you’d see on the street. I’ve seen far uglier actors in the ultra low budget regional horror films done by amateurs who think having a camera makes you a filmmaker.
