Advantages: Unpredictable (to a point), and it's British!

Disadvantages: Bizarre

At last, a British movie! So it has to be strange & weird, right? Of course!

Well it’s certainly unpredictable up to a point and supposedly based on a cult novel.

Teenagers at an expensive English private School (one is the son of a Rock star), decide to party secretly in an old underground bomb shelter. The rest turns out to be a nightmare.

I’d really hate to give too much away here. The film starts off quite well eventually gripping your curiosity & making you wonder how & indeed which way things are going to turn out. Adolescent pranks beware!

The contemporary nature of this movie stems from its typical adolescent portrayal & it seems hard to grasp what kind of message the movie puts, or tries to put across really.

You get the psychological deceit element, which makes your blood boil with these kind of movies. In a way it makes you wonder how you survived your teens!

It's a bit bizarre, but then it is 2001!

To be honest if you are an adolescent or a teenager yourself, you’ll probably be able to relate more to the psychology of this film.(The movie has a 15 Certificate).

It’s interesting, by contrast, watching a cop scene at the beginning of this film in it’s ‘British guise’ as opposed to typical cop scenes in American movies!
