Can't Take It Back is a horror-thriller movie from 2017, directed by Tim Shechmeister and written by Chuck McCue and Jules Vincent. The story follows two high school students, Kim (Ana Coto) and Hutch (Ivanna Sakhno), who are targeted by a mysterious and malevolent force after they post a seemingly harmless prank on one of their classmates on social media.

The movie begins with Kim and Hutch, who are best friends, attending a party where they meet a new student, Sierra (Chloe Bridges). After a few drinks, the three of them decide to play a prank on a shy and awkward classmate named Bryce (Noah Centineo) by pretending to be interested in him and asking him to meet them in a secluded area. The prank takes a turn for the worse when Bryce doesn't show up, and later that night, they receive a disturbing message from him on social media.

From there, strange and horrifying events begin to occur, and Kim and Hutch become the targets of a malevolent entity that seems to be fueled by their guilt and fear. They soon realize that they have inadvertently triggered a supernatural force that cannot be stopped and that is determined to destroy them and everyone close to them.

The movie is structured around the three main characters, each of whom is struggling with personal demons and secrets. Kim is haunted by her past and struggles with anxiety and depression, while Hutch is a popular athlete who masks his insecurities with arrogance and violence. Bryce, on the other hand, is a quiet and introverted guy who is bullied and ostracized by his peers.

As the story unfolds, we get to see the characters' vulnerabilities and flaws, and how they are ultimately forced to confront their inner demons in order to survive. The horror elements of the movie are subtle and atmospheric, and the tension gradually builds up to a climactic and satisfying finale.

One of the themes that the movie explores is the dangerous power of social media and the internet, and how it can be used as a tool to spread hate, bullying, and harassment. Can't Take It Back highlights the consequences of irresponsible behavior online and how it can have a lasting impact on people's lives.

The performances of the cast are strong, especially Ana Coto, who delivers a convincing and poignant portrayal of a young woman struggling with mental health issues. Noah Centineo also shines in his role as the tormented and vengeful Bryce, and Ivanna Sakhno brings depth and complexity to her character's transformation throughout the movie.

Overall, Can't Take It Back is a suspenseful and engaging horror-thriller that blends supernatural elements with a realistic portrayal of modern-day adolescence. The movie raises important questions about the impact of technology and social media on our lives and serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of bullying and harassment.
