Alena (Amalia Holm) is a new student at a boarding school who immediately finds an enemy in an upper-class girl (Molly Nutley)… but she’s also battling demons from her past.

What started out as a made-for-TV short turned into a feature film debut for the director, a horror thriller about nasty intrigues among teen girls, seasoned with supernatural ingredients.

Nutley is amusing as the school’s number one bitch, there’s a bizarrely bloody dream sequence, and a terrifying atmosphere painted in gray. But a basically good story was nonetheless more effective as a graphic novel.
