Some Kind of Hate (2015)

"Some Kind of Hate" is a supernatural-slasher that managed to squander any possible potential - of which there WAS a glimmer - in favor of just an abundance of emo, cry baby bullshit.

After retaliating against a bully with a fork to the face, a mopey outcast is sent to some kind of reform retreat out in the desert. Now he's bullied by a new group of assholes until he encounters the ghost of a girl who was driven to commit suicide years ago by former camp attendees. She has this 'power' where any harm she causes to herself with her razor blade necklace is inflicted upon the bully she's pursuing...

This is a decent enough idea that could've worked better had they not reduced the entire movie to just a slow-paced, anti-bullying PSA. The razor blade girl is a very ineffective presence, overall, who looks about as creepy or imposing as a Hot Topic shopper and the gore was nothing special, if not a bit repetitive and boring. Not to mention consisting of an overuse of CGI blood effects.

"Some Kind of Hate" is a dull revenge/slasher flick that does more whining about bullying and angsty teen shit than anything of any real interest. Except, maybe, the scene of the chick getting her legs cut up by proxy, courtesy of the ghost girl. That was kinda hot...
