And once it gets going it really doesn’t stop. It’s refreshingly self-aware with some truly clever lines of dialogue (“I can’t even eat gluten-I’m not going to kill anyone” and the great “In most horror movies, the f*cking bad guy isn’t, you know, ALL the good guys.”). “Triggered” works more conceptually than in its execution. After some panic, they start going after each other. In other words, kill someone else and your timer goes up, "taking" however much time your victim had left on his or her clock. He doesn’t really make the rules clear, but the squad figures out the hard way that the timers on their vests are impacted by the deaths of people around them. Only one of them is going to survive this experiment, one that their teacher is running because of the death of his son, which he clearly lays at the feet of his former students.

One of their teachers from high school emerges from the woods and makes clear how much they’re basically living in a “ Saw” movie now. Our nine genetically blessed heroes wake up in the middle of the night to discover that they had been drugged and suicide vests were strapped to their bodies. Most people won’t care because the success of “Triggered” is tied to its premise. With a few exceptions, it’s hard to tell most of these personalities apart, and not just because all of “Triggered” takes place in the dark woods. The latter often comes through some pretty superficial dialogue (“You were valedictorian and now you’re graduating from MIT”) and, to be honest, most of the character definition work doesn’t take. The first few scenes of “Triggered” loosely define the nine characters, outlining a few relationships, histories, and character traits.
Early references to a dead friend from that chapter in their lives make it clear that this group of young people are bringing some secrets to the woods for a remote camping trip. Any time young people in a horror movie repeatedly say things like “high school was a long time ago,” you know they’re going to pay for something they did back then. Jones’ screenplay definitely reminds viewers of “ Summer” in its moral construction.
