Popularity Killer is one of those low-budget horror flicks that leans heavily into teen angst and the social hierarchies of high school life. The pacing feels uneven at times, but the atmosphere is thick with dread, especially as the killer targets the most popular kids. It's interesting how it explores themes of jealousy and the cost of popularity, all wrapped in some genuinely grim practical effects. The performances from the young cast are a mixed bag, but there's a certain earnestness that brings some weight to their plight. There's something almost nostalgic about it, capturing that late-night viewing vibe where you’d settle in for a slice of slasher madness, even with its flaws.
