The story
A high school prom faces a deadly threat: a flesh-eating virus that spreads via a popular brand of bottled water.
What it’s like
Bright, sun-washed suburban daylight gives way to fluorescent school corridors, gymnasium lights, and the glossy pastel gloss of a prom night, while the gore arrives in wet, sticky bursts. The sound is teen-pop needle drops and squeaky sneakers undercut by squelching, retching, and sudden shrieks. The vibe is queasy, sardonic slapstick: a sick-making comedy that treats the horror with a shrug and a grin. Pacing is brisk and scene-to-scene, with the story built around a crowd of mostly archetypal students, including a nervous couple whose romance gets tested as things go wrong. Intensity is high: graphic gore, bodily decay, and frequent crude humor, with plenty of blood and some sexual innuendo, though the mood stays cheeky rather than bleak. It suits a loud Friday night with friends, a midnight watch for gross-out fans, or anyone who wants horror that's grimy, goofy, and unapologetically nasty. Not a fit for anyone seeking something gentle or low on gore.
