This movie takes place 20 years after the accident happened, but somehow involves the children of some of the original play's cast, who are redoing the play in their High school. The numbers do not add up. If this is supposed to be some kind of revenge movie, if fails. If it's trying to be a ghost story, it fails. What fails most is actors that look in their thirties portraying school kids. Pretty much all of the movie is seen through one camera lens or another. The girls can't seem to control their emotions, so most of their time is spent being noisy, whiny damsels in distress. Doors mysteriously lock and unlock to keep certain characters on one side or the other. If the main boy was supposed to be the son of the actor that did not show up that night, then why didn't his father ever tell him that he flaked that night. This movie pretty much makes no sense because apart from knowing that someone died in the original play at the school, nothing is properly explained to make a cohesive story line. Not even worth a watch on free cable.
