17 years earlier at the Douglas Academy Boarding School, Jane is found dead in a storeroom at the end of the hall. It's assumed to be a suicide and her journal is missing. Present day, Jane's best friend Courtney Snow (Sara Rue) returns to the school for a reunion after writing a successful novel about her dead friend. She is struggling to write a second novel and is convinced to join the faculty. She reconnects with former classmate Brett who is the son of Headmaster Ian Ramsey. The storeroom has been reopened and student Laurel McAvoy living there resembles her dead best friend Jane.
There are requirements that this movie never fulfills. Sara Rue does not really resemble Amber Borycki. It's always problematic to switch back and forth to the flashbacks. It's probably better to simply put a wig on Sara Rue and have her play her younger self. The role of Laura/Jane needs someone much more distinctive. It needs someone with a recognizable face which immediate screams out doppelganger. Aside from those issues, this is a rather choppy, weak movie. As a horror, there is nothing scary or even spooky. Some of ghostly aspect is downright bad. There is a general poor quality to the production.
score 4/10
