Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Lincoln, a bullied rock kid, is sent out to a reform school out in the desert after sticking a fork in the face of one of his tormentors. Unfortunately the bullying starts all over again, however the spirit of a bullied dead girl called Moira just happens to be on hand to carry out bloody revenge on his new tormentors, often by razor blade. Quite an interesting idea. Can't help but feel sorry for this guy, though he does find comfort in the arms of a beautiful girl. Some fairly good gore to be seen, acting and production values both reasonable. Look out for a short mid-credits scene. Pretty average overall.

It sickens me to see how poorly people rate horror movies these days. I once belonged to a group of horror movie fans, but now I am alone.Don't get me wrong. I hate B-movies. I hate the majority of Redbox horror movies that most people have not heard of. But this movie is truly something good and special, and to see it thrown in the gutter by people who I would have trusted as my horror loving peers, has disappointed me.I remember seeing "It follows" a couple years back and I thought it rocked. It was a throw back to 80s horror that I really appreciated it. So I did some google searches looking for the next "It Follows". That is when I came across my first internet review of Some Kind of Hate.When I watched it, I was not disappointed. I guess you could call this film a cult horror classic, since it is apparent from other reviews, that a very unique clique of people will appreciate this film for what it offers.From storyline, to acting, to environment, to just the feel and soundtrack and nature of the film, I really enjoyed it. If I was looking at these IMDb reviews, I would never have given it a chance. The plot and dialogue is simple, but interesting. One of the main characters is victim is extreme bullying. Karma takes spiritual form and comes back with a vengeance. It's not filled with the gore and special effects throughout the movie you might see in most horror movies that make it to the big screen, but its got story and heart. For the record, I would give it 1 star less than It Follows. But this still is a good movie, worthy of re-watching over the years.

"Some Kind of Hate" is another horror movie about bullied teenagers. It seems it's been kind of bad year for Lincoln, a (nudge/nudge; wink/wink) teenager who has been bullied at school most of his life, decides to fight back, and is (of course) blamed for everything. Link is then carted to some kind of school to get in touch with his feelings and ask someone for a hug. There lies the problem. The character of Link was so lifeless, so hackneyed, so clichéd, I felt nothing for him. Most of his acting consisted of stumbling around, hunched over, with his hair constantly in his eyes. And, of course, the minute he arrives at the school, he is immediately bullied by a group of troglodytes and their leader.Here is where the movie lost me for a second or two. He runs (as he usually does when confronted by anyone) into some abandoned building, and the next thing you know he has "awakened" Moira, a girl who also attended this school and was murdered. It seems for whatever reason, Moira decides she's going to get even with his bullies for him. What confused me was HOW did Link "conjure" up her spirit when he sat cross-legged in the corner and said nary word? Moira was just suddenly there, and the killing begins.The character of Link should have NEVER been made the major character. As stated before, he just could not carry the movie. The character of Moira, however, is who the writers should have centered this movie around. Moira, superbly played by Sierra McCormick, could actually act. I believed her "pain." I felt her need for revenge. But, alas, the writers and director decided their causes would be better served if they put in some lame-ass love interest for Link and bore the audience to death.The producer, director, and writers of "So Much Hate" missed a huge opportunity to give this genre a shot in the arm. This movie is rated "R" for graphic violence and brief nudity. I cannot say it's a sure-fire hit, but for its type, it's really not too bad.

Some Kind of Hate is a not half bad B horror. The premise is not that novel but different enough to be interesting. I suspect this titles primary audience is late teens and twenty somethings. Those who are fresh enough from school to still remember how horrible and cruel other teens can be. The main character is a supernatural entity who is summoned by the pain of bullied, victimized teens. The storyline is pretty basic but it builds quite well. That said, the violence and self abuse scenes can be a bit on the harsh side at times.For a B title the acting is quite good too. The whole cast but, in particular, the male and female lead and the girl who plays the vengeful spirit, really offer up decent performances. Combine all these elements and you have a reasonable horror flick on your hands. Six out of ten from me.
