Reviews:

Marc Fennell(Triple j):Edible roadkill, Frontal lobotomies, teenage psychopaths and Kasey Chambers knowledge of principles of harmonical sounds....Precisely what every school dance should appearance, right? A wonderful, fast, stylised Aussie torment porn.

Julian Shaw(FILMINK (Australia)):Debut overseer Sean Byrne has carved out a flick to stand at the side of Brian De Palma's boastful sect horror classic Carrie, such is the comeliness and brutality of his execution. It's the greatest in number excellent entry to the Aussie consternation law since Wolf Creek.
Simon Miraudo(Quickflix):Sean Byrne makes the sort hell (and I mean hell) of a direct of the face film debut by The Loved Ones. It's slick, audacious and wickedly funny. Lola is perpendicular out of Sam Raimi's nightmares; a terrifying woe between Carrie and Rachel Berry from Glee.

Anders Wotzke(Moviedex):A squeamishly self-mindful bloodbath in which Lola, superbly portrayed through Robin McLeavy through hellish zeal, reveals her hunger as being fame to be the next Hannibal Lecter.
Felix Vasquez Jr.(Cinema Crazed):If John Waters and John Hughes as being~ conceived the idea for a newly come day "Misery," we'd essentially sway this Australian horror gem...

Anton Bitel(Little White Lies):Byrne's secure feature debut takes the coming-of-period of life tropes of John Hughes, and adds a hefty prescribed portion of campy psychosis, creating a spoken relation of small-town adolescent dismay in what place the growing labor really do do harm to.
