Goofs

Josh has a custom California license plate saying "HEY BTCH". California would never allow anything so obviously resembling a vulgar word on a plate.

User Reviews

Not a 'must see', also not bad

This movie revolves around a girl that is picked on by everyone, by the fellow students, even the teachers. Then one day she swaps bodies with a serial killer. Vince Vaught truly carries this movie, Kathryn Newton does a very bad job at pretending Vince, the only thing she does is being quiet and looking like an infant who has to poop. It's the most predictable plot EVER, but the fair amount of slashing makes up for that. Then there are the demonic whispers in the movie, but that is more laughable then scary, I even dare to say there is not 1 scary thing in this movie. If you will never see this movie in your life, then you have missed out nothing, if you can't find a better movie, this one will fill your evening.
