The two girls fight and Tree kills her. This puts an end to the time loop and Carter and Tree end up together.

This movie was just bad. It was silly and I did not like the lead actress at all. It is a teen movie, I suppose but it was still bad. I thought that the idea could have been done better. It was a pretty okay premise which could have had some promise if it had been handled better. So, all in all, this movie is not one for serious horror lovers. There is no gore and no scares and it is just a tame teen horror movie which is devoid of any terror. I will give it a 3/10 which is being kind.
