There's nothing original here despite the presence of two horror heavyweights. It's essentially a reboot of House on Haunted Hill with a smaller cast and a less coherent script.

I liked the idea that these teenage bullies had to experience the times in their lives when they themselves felt bullied, though in the end it turned out that wasn’t what the movie was going for. Alas.
