Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing and anyone who wants a laugh. Best watched with the lights down and someone to grab. Sits nicely alongside Trick 'r Treat. Critics were cooler on it, but audiences had a great time.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 26 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • Critics were cooler on it than audiences.
  • Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

The pupils at a high school next to a nuclear power plant start acting and looking strange after buying contaminated drugs from a plant worker.
