High School Can Be a Real Killer
Break a mirror
Walk under a ladder
Step on a crack
Innocent childhood superstitions …
But someone at the secluded Trask Academy of Performing Arts is taking things one deadly step further when the campus is rocked with the deaths of some of its star students.
Layna Curtis, a talented, popular senior, soon realizes that the seemingly random, accidental deaths of her friends aren’t random—or accidents—at all. Someone has taken the childhood games too far, using the idea of superstitions to dispose of their classmates. As Layna tries to convince people of her theory, she uncovers the terrifying notion that each escalating, gruesome murder leads closer to its final victim: her.
Will Layna’s opening night also be her final bow?

~~~Review~~~
Thommy Hutson is a fan of 80's and 90's horror films, and it definitely shows through in Jinxed. This tension filled thriller pays homage to 90's slasher film Scream. But it's no knock off and stands on its own originality. This edge of your seat, white knuckle, YA "who done it" left me guessing as to the killer's identity right up to the end. Hutson has a definitely gained a new fan.
