Plots(1)
In the social minefield that is secondary school, Zach (Owen Campbell) and Josh (Charlie Tahan) at least have one another. The teenagers are growing up in a leafy American suburb in the 1990s, with stuff like Clinton, button-up dresses and Nirvana going on in the background. Life revolves around vying for popularity, hanging out, falling in love and looking for kicks. One day, a traumatic accident takes place within the group of friends, driving a wedge between the previously inseparable Zach and Josh. During the day, Zach gets by as best he can, but at night he is caught between wet dreams and nightmares. His life becomes increasingly complicated and, as this thriller reveals, ever more dangerous.

Quite a good film, which shows that it was inspired a bit by the success of Stranger Things and especially by its visuals, the period setting, and possibly the musical component. Yet it has slightly rougher edges, which are associated with the fact that the primary evil here does not come from something supernatural, but from man. And that's always quite a force.

A decent directorial debut. Four high school kids are hanging out in the woods as usual, but a terrible accident occurs and one of them dies. From that moment on, it leaves a psychological impact on all of them and increasingly stranger things start happening in the town. Decently filmed, very well acted, decently suspenseful in places, and a pretty intense slasher-like ride towards the end. Not a big hit, but an enjoyable watch no doubt. 70%

Drugs and video games are bad, right? Without autotelic passages of nightmares (especially the "Lancelot, Ginevra and Excalibur") and the final fifteen minutes, which are pointless, come from nowhere, it is like from another movie and are looking for cheap genre paths" "how to get out of it" "instead of the current sophistication of adolescent anxiety, it would be a debut that we haven´t seen for several years . The atmosphere, the characters, the cast, the capturing, the talking, and the relationships are believable in their 90s teens, but these are all attributes of this "teenage Fargo" that make it worth attention.
