This is the most we’ve seen from the film, although Kasten has teased what was to come in previous interviews.
In 2011, Kasten told Fangoria the film “is about four high-school students who are given detention to clean a school after hours that looks like a tornado hit. It’s been torn apart, it’s filthy and disgusting. While they’re there, they start to unravel the mystery of the school’s past, and what they figure out is that a horrible event took place at the school, and their connection to this massacre is intrinsic to the plot and their own backgrounds.”
In a recent e-mail Shock received from the director he also explained: “Although an intensely personal, totally independent film, this is still a tense and terrifying horror movie. It is a high school ghost story. It also happens to be about something that I believe is important to discuss – more so now than ever. It is about bullying, school shootings, and repercussions.”
