Jonquil, or Jonny as her friends call her, is about to turn 18, but strange things begin happening to her. Her father, addicted to pills and of little use in any respect, sends her off to spend her birthday with a mysterious auntie, played by Alicia Silverstone. In the mean time, girls at Jonny’s school are getting murdered, and the principal holds drills in which he comes screaming into the classroom and sprays fake blood on the kids, apparently to help them avoid being the next victim of the unknown serial killer.
This film has the distinction of being the only one in Frameline47 that I walked out of. It was pretty well done, but I’m really not into splatterfest films, and the underlying plot took too long to establish. If you love lesbian horror films, you might like this one, and should check out the trailer. Otherwise, though, I can’t really recommend it.
