Last of the Grads (2021)

Emma and her friends are graduating soon which means it’s time for the senior bash.  The school has kids sign in and then they can dance, watch movies and spend the night.  Do schools really do this? It seems like a nightmare in liability and supervision, although it seems like there’s only one older teacher manning the sign in station and no one with the students.  The kids look too old for high school and if you told me Emma’s brown haired friend was playing her mother, I wouldn’t even blink.

While they refer to it as a lock in, these kids sure seem to be outside a lot.  That’s unfortunate since the Coast to Coast killer is in town and heading their way.  The police are around but they’re not that great since the one near the school is easily dispatched.  

The killer easily dispatches everyone he meets and walks into the building through an unlocked door. At one point, a student gets  water boarded but never tries to remove the washcloth. He’s got a free hand but he just bangs on the shower wall, rather than reaching up and pulling the washcloth off his face.

Part way through the movie, we started feeling like the movie was written by AI.  I guess it wasn’t, but there’s an odd feel to the dialogue at points.
