The whole story isn’t even as engaging as some disturbing horror clips on YouTube. Except for the thief part—which was the only mildly interesting bit—the rest was just way too long and honestly made me want to fall asleep.
Our whole audience burst out laughing when the kids started running like clueless penguins. And the decision to start with the teacher’s chapter? I mean, maybe I’m just not a responsible adult or whatever, but I couldn’t relate to it at all. It didn’t grab me, and it didn’t help set up the story in a compelling way.
At first, I thought the plot was going to explore how these kids got lost—but nope, that’s just the setting. Nothing deeper.
Honestly, cut the pointless jump scares, accept that it’s not horror, and market it as a comedy instead. At least then expectations would be in the right place.
