A prank: Showing up dressed as the killer, saying "BOO!" then taking the mask off for a laugh. A crime: Showing up dressed as the killer, with a weapon in hand, then chasing people around like you're actually trying to kill them to cause a panic and potentially causing irreversible actions executed in the mindset of survival and self-defense.

"It's just high school." I don't think colleges will look too favorably upon a student who sent a false mass-email about a serial killer on campus, especially right after the actual murder of a fellow student. Owen's dad is the smartest person in this movie, he knew to keep his screen time to the minimum. I also guess there's no security in boarding schools, especially after a murder. Owen must think Bon Jovi is able to teleport if he's able to kill all his friends and dump the outfit in his office within minutes. Hey, that girl with the glasses is from Flight 29 Down!

About the lights in the library: That's a real thing. Most classrooms have some form of light where if there's no movement for a while, the lights turn off, and turn back on when you enter the room. My dad used to work as a custodian in an elementary school, so I would hang out there during the summer while he did maintenance. My favorite room to hang out in was the library, because it had books (clearly) as well as pretty much all the Magic Schoolbus movies. Anyways, I'd often be curled up with a book in one of the reading areas, and the lights would go out. It'd be really annoying since I'd have to stop reading, get up, and wave my arms around. So yeah, that's a real thing in school libraries. A stupid thing, but real.

This movie is so dumb, and it's one of my favorite reviews of yours. Films like this want to be clever, but they rarely are because the concepts are beyond their ability to write properly. The worst part is Dodger suggesting the very thing that Owen later repeats to her and then her saying "You've already lost me." It's like they didn't read their own script for continuity errors. Thats when you know this movie is gonna suck. Nothing's for real!

The final plot twist and the entire premise reveal to this film is equally stupid as was the 1997 movie "The Game" (starring Michael Douglas), where the plot twist was that everything the protagonist had to go through was an elaborate BIRTHDAY PRANK for the man who's a banker. One simple deviation from the entire thorough, detailed plan could have easily caused serious harm to the participants of this scheme or to the main protagonist had he gone down the bad lane, for there were no proper protocols to keep him safe. And if not that, then the character would at least be in for years to come in therapy for having massive trauma and trust issues to his friends, family and acquaintances. Perhaps I'm an idiot who likes plots where things are simple and straightforward, but going for complicated schemes which are based on pure idiotic luck where common sense is thrown out of the window because "who needs them anyways?" are some of the worst movies I can think of.
