Good Qualities

 * 1) The film is an effective revenge fantasy, a possessed teenage woman attempting to murder every student she hates.
 * 2) Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried and the other actors, including Bill Fagerbakke did a great job with their performances.
 * 3) The writing, humor and horror is pretty good, with the best being the scene where Jonas’ dad (played by Bill Fagerbakke) make a short rant after his son gets murdered.
 * 4) Low Shoulder is a pretty neat satire of emo bands.
 * 5) Great representation of the LGBT community.
 * 6) Deconstructed the male gaze trope effectively.
 * 7) The fact that this movie later receives positive reception than before recently is pretty impressive since originally, it received mixed-negative reviews for being cliches.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The marketing of the film was misleading and wanted people to think it's a generic horror film for boys.
 * 2) The gore can be a bit excessive.
 * 3) The film could be a little misandrist.
