The film centers on Beckett Warner (Sophie Curtis) whose mother (Kelly Bensimon) dies in the first scene in what appears like she went surfing without knowing how to swim. Later on we discover it was an aneurysm. Because mom dies, dad opts to move them from the country to the safe confines of the big city. Dad (Linus Roache) is the famous author Miles Warner, the most misused occupation in horror films outside of high school janitor. Miles scores a pad from his publisher (Stephanie March) who has a son Toby (Graham Phillips) who gives Beckett skate board lessons that never tie into the film due to poor script writing.
Beckett goes to the prestigious private Hamilton school where all the teachers look young and making me wish I hadn't read the DVD cover about the film and watched it cold. TMI. On her first day she hears whispers in the off limits garden, hallucinates seeing blood, becomes faint, and watches a girl (Chloe Levine) do a swan dive off the roof. Dad wants to pull her out of school, but Beckett doesn't want to "run away." Beckett befriends Jen (Sarah Sutherland) a girl in a plain skirt as opposed to plaid. Meanwhile Pamela Hamilton (Kelly Reilly) the school's owner, is an overpowering redhead who finds her way into her home and dad's bed.
I think you can guess the rest of the film. I know I managed to guess the entire film from the DVD cover except for the poorly developed lead character and lame soundtrack. The film feels like a "made for TV" production, not daring to be creative. Sophie Curtis deadpan acting reminded me of she who which we do not speak from that sparkling vampire film.
Guide: No F-bombs that I recall. Implied sex. No nudity.
