It tells the story of Veronica (Breslin), a beautiful teen girl who is lured out to the woods by a group of senior boys to be the victim of their hunt. What the boys don't know is that she has been taught by her trainer William (Bentley) to be a lethal weapon, turning the hunters into the hunted with a level of perversity far beyond anything they could have ever imagined. With the concept of a beautiful girl hunting down serial killers using basically the same methods as the serial killers she is hunting and has a platonic relationship with her male ally, it's basically Hack/Slash minus the goth look.

* AmbiguousTimePeriod: It is hard to pinpoint exactly when the movie is supposed to be set. The dresses the women wear all point out to TheFifties and the cars range from the 1960s-70s, but the television in William and Veronica’s motel room is in color with a digital display and the guns they use are far more modern than that.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Shane is really, legitimately in love with his girlfriend. They've been dating since they were fourteen. Veronica even comments that this is unusual, since she wouldn't expect any of the boys to care for any woman enough to maintain a relationship. [[spoiler: As it turns out, though, he doesn't love her enough not to try to kill her when she finds out what the boys really do in the woods. Lucky for her, he's hallucinating and is actually strangling Veronica, which has predictable results for him.]]
