Acolytes

ACOLYTES (2008) - Sept. 10, 2008
Though this film ends on a uncharacteristically high note, it's pretty much mediocre all the way through. The unnecessarily confusing plot revolves a group of Australian teens who stumble onto a body and subsequently get mixed up with a sinister serial killer. The film is reasonably well made, but is saddled with thoroughly unlikable characters who make the type of decisions that could only be made by characters from a movie. The movie also features a plot which is unnecessarily convoluted, which makes it much harder to follow than it needs to be. Though the ending was pretty sweet, it doesn't really make up for everything that precedes it. **
