I like Jennette McCurdy and Nathan Kress. But God almighty is this awful. A newlywed couple runs someone over by accident and decides to bury the body and tell nobody. Like.... okay. On paper that's stupid. And if you give it five seconds of thought that's stupid. But in practice... it's really stupid. They then go from one social encounter to the next, meet someone who immediately clocks that they're murderers, and then they kill that person. It's not interesting. It's not funny. It's just Terrence Malick's "Badlands" with more blood and it's only 14 minutes long.

Jennette McCurdy is a great performer here, but overall there's just no tone struck here, no style, only empty flourishes like shocking jump cuts, a murder counter on the screen, lots of spraying blood, and intense sound effects.

It's a disgustingly L. A. movie too. And I love that they go to Zion but clearly are just in the wood somewhere in Griffith Park or whatever. At the end of the movie, it's like, this sucked, but at least it has nothing to say and is boring as hell.
