Some Kind of Hate (2015)

Lincoln, a bullied rock kid, is sent out to a reform school out in the desert after sticking a fork in the face of one of his tormentors. Unfortunately the bullying starts all over again, however the spirit of a bullied dead girl called Moira just happens to be on hand to carry out bloody revenge on his new tormentors, often by razor blade. Quite an interesting idea. Can't help but feel sorry for this guy, though he does find comfort in the arms of a beautiful girl. Some fairly good gore to be seen, acting and production values both reasonable. Look out for a short mid-credits scene. Pretty average overall.

SOME KIND OF HATE is another grim and grimy B-movie horror flick with a generic feel. I do get tired of these greyed-out lifeless productions with underachieving actors who barely do any kind of acting at all. This one tells an age-old story of classroom bullying, which leads the oppressed victim to summon up the long-dead spirit of a girl who proceeds to wreak gory mayhem on the bullies responsible. The tale is heavy on the gore and light on everything else; singularly unsatisfying, with the only feeling evoked depression.

I didn't think this was a horrible movie, but I could feel that this was an attempt for some of the Disney stars try to break away from their previous "goody goody" roles that they are well known for. I can say that at least the acting was much better here than it was there. It is interesting to me to see what direction these guys go in order to escape from the company. I'm interested in seeing what the future holds for them. I just hope they do not go crazy as we have seen in the past. Otherwise, the movie to me seemed alright, albeit a little slow paced. There could have been more character development in the protagonist. I also felt the "cheerleader" wasn't really believable. I don't see a person like that trying to see what it is like to be the victim. When we first meet her, she is hugging up to a bully, yet she says she hates them. Does anyone else see a problem with this?

Not the worst waste of time I've ever sat through. Cinematography was alright, gore was good, but that's about the nicest thing I can come up with. The protagonist, Lincoln, doesn't get a name until 40 minutes into this dog. We learn his girlfriend's name about 30 minutes in. Nothing really builds in all that time. Obviously, we're not intended to see the "good" kid as a totally sympathetic character, but his motivations are always pretty much a mystery. The "bad" kids, they get about 5 minutes of being mean and the rest of the film tries to be totally overwrought, but really just meanders. And nevermind that not a single one of the kids in this film looks younger than 28 (excepting Grace Phipps). The teachers looked younger than all the kids, but that's no big deal for a lot of high school slasher flicks that at least TRY to convince us that their goings-on are worth caring about. This was a boring one- gimmick piece of trash that should have just been deleted from the directors hard drive to free up space. I'd hoped to hear the Misfits tune that is this film's namesake, but licensing rights cost money. Too bad, just this once, that titles can't be licensed.
