Wordiezett So much average

Konterr Brilliant and touching
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Claudio Carvalho The teenager Lincoln Taggert (Ronen Rubinstein) is frequently bullied at school by a mate. One day, Lincoln reacts and sticks a fork into the face of the bully. Lincoln is sent to a reform school and the intern Willie (Maestro Harrell) bullies him with his gang. One day, Lincoln accidentally summons the spirit of Moira (Sierra McCormick), a bullied teenage girl that died a couple of years ago. Now she takes vengeance initially on the bullies and then she kills everyone that crosses her path."Some Kind of Hate" is a slasher with a promising beginning with a good story of bullying. The viewer feels sorrow for the teenager Lincoln, under stress at home, at school and at the reform school. Then Moira destroys his enemy at the reform school. However, in a certain moment on, the story turns in a brutal and quite senseless slasher. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): Not Available
Coventry "Some kind of Hate" is a brutal but formulaic slasher with a couple of supernatural elements processed into the plot. It's not exactly original or particularly memorable, but it's nonetheless entertaining and surely delivers the goods in terms of violence and bloodshed. Lincoln is an introvert semi-emo teenager who gets bullied at home by his biker father as well as at school by the popular jocks. When Lincoln does finally dare to stand up for himself and sticks a fork into the eye of the bully, he's the one to gets punished and send to some sort of karma rehabilitation camp for juvenile delinquents. At the camp, however, the bullying against Lincoln's persona cheerfully continues, but when he hides from his tormentors in a basement, he accidentally summons the vengeful spirit of a girl named Moira who also got bullied at the camp and committed suicide. Moira promptly starts to annihilate Lincoln's bullies, but also the innocent kids and specifically the camp counselors with whom she has a personal score to settle. The premise of bullied high school kids avenging themselves with the help of the paranormal certainly isn't new, just think of such (semi-)classic titles like "Carrie", "Horror High" or "EvilSpeak", but not too many directors dare to tackle the subject of teenage suicide. Some of the characters' stories and testimonies are quite bleak and depressing, but luckily the emphasis primarily lies on the action. The first 2 or 3 kills are tame and take place mostly off- screen, but then all hell breaks loose and especially the last half hour is gore- soaked and vicious, notably because a few totally innocent and even sympathetic supportive characters are relentlessly butchered. The gore is always two for the price of one, because Moira's ghost cuts her own wrists and throat, and her victims simultaneously suffer the exact same wounds. The acting performances are good, with a few familiar faces (like Noah Segan and Andrew Bryniarski) and fresh new talents. Although fairly irrelevant, I must also state that two of the lead actresses are unbelievable gorgeous: Grace Phipps and Sierra McCormick.
roguecritic42 It sickens me to see how poorly people rate horror movies these days. I once belonged to a group of horror movie fans, but now I am alone.Don't get me wrong. I hate B-movies. I hate the majority of Redbox horror movies that most people have not heard of. But this movie is truly something good and special, and to see it thrown in the gutter by people who I would have trusted as my horror loving peers, has disappointed me.I remember seeing "It follows" a couple years back and I thought it rocked. It was a throw back to 80s horror that I really appreciated it. So I did some google searches looking for the next "It Follows". That is when I came across my first internet review of Some Kind of Hate.When I watched it, I was not disappointed. I guess you could call this film a cult horror classic, since it is apparent from other reviews, that a very unique clique of people will appreciate this film for what it offers.From storyline, to acting, to environment, to just the feel and soundtrack and nature of the film, I really enjoyed it. If I was looking at these IMDb reviews, I would never have given it a chance. The plot and dialogue is simple, but interesting. One of the main characters is victim is extreme bullying. Karma takes spiritual form and comes back with a vengeance. It's not filled with the gore and special effects throughout the movie you might see in most horror movies that make it to the big screen, but its got story and heart. For the record, I would give it 1 star less than It Follows. But this still is a good movie, worthy of re-watching over the years.
Woodyanders Maladjusted adolescent misfit Lincoln Taggert (a solid and sympathetic performance by Ronen Rubinstein) gets sent to a remote school for troubled kids. After Lincoln finds himself being mercilessly tormented by a group of mean bullies, he inadvertently conjures up the lethal spirit of fellow deceased bully victim Moira (well played with frightening intensity by Sierra McCormick), who embarks on a ferocious vengeful spree.Director Adam Egypt Mortimer, who also co-wrote the dark script with Brian DeLeeuw, presents an interesting array of credibly messed-up teen characters, makes nice use of the desolate desert locations, generates a good deal of tension, maintains an appropriately bleak'n'brooding atmosphere throughout, astutely nails a strong sense of adolescent angst and anger, and delivers a generous amount of nasty gore. The sound acting by the capable cast keeps this movie humming, with especially stand-out work from Grace Phipps as the sultry and spunky, yet spiteful Kaitlin, Spencer Breslin as loyal friend Derek, Maestro Harrell as the antagonistic Willie, and Michael Polish as ineffectual camp supervisor Jack Iverson. The uncompromisingly grim ending packs a devastating punch. The filmmakers warrant extra praise for depicting the severe emotional and psychological damage wrought by bullying in an unflinchingly stark and brutal manner. Kudos are also in order for Robert Allare's moody score and Benji Bakshi's crisp widescreen cinematography. A worthy scarefest.
