The movie

During a boring night in their posh boarding school, a group of young spoiled girls in search of a fright decide to go in the forest. After having clucked satanic songs, they simulate being possessed which highly upsets the school board. The little princesses are punished and forced to do some chores while the rest of the students go on vacation. But far from accepting their punishment, they kill time by organizing meetings with boys; until one of them sees the gardener trying to hide something in the isolated land of the school… Girls! Curiosity is an unpleasant defect! Rather known for his “arty” films, the Malaysian director James Lee changed his ground and filmed a genuine popular horror film. This should satisfy the hardcore gore amateurs.
