I've Been Waiting for You

A campy small-town teen thriller that coasts on witchy paranoia and jump scares rather than real dread.

Tagline: Someone’s idea of a high school prank is about to turn very deadly!

How it feels: Tense, eerie, campy and melancholic. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Revenge, isolation, identity, betrayal
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
