Cupid (2020)

When bully Elyse finds out Faye has a crush on Mr. Jones, Elyse steals his phone and sends texts to Faye pretending the teacher likes her too. Faye is super excited since she thinks the love spell she put on him is working.   

Elyse gets Faye to send photos and also leads her to believe that she should come to his room after school.  Faye is roundly humiliated when Mr. Jones reacts negatively. She is even more humiliated when  Elyse plays footage of the prank during class.

Faye is so upset she summons Cupid, because apparently you can do that if you’re being abused. She asks Cupid to destroy love in the school. A human sized cupid shows up and starts murdering everyone.

It’s not clear where this is supposed to take place. Mr. Jones starts out with an English accent, but then seems to have an American accent for the rest of the film. 

This was tough to watch. I didn’t enjoy anything about it. It’s tedious and the actors playing the teenagers seem to be the same age as the teachers.
