john b Dark is right. An unusual story that could really happen. Well written and acted. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review J B Allison and the mom stand out in this film, but the lead boys are just mopey teens dealing with guilt. Then the story takes a left turn in the third act. One reviewer compared this to Donnie Darko. I wished this movie had that kind of ingenuity, but it doesn't. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Kaden F Amazing films, everything about it is great, especially the atmosphere Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Alec C How can you expect to maintain your innocence in a world where darkness is around us! As three friends end up committing a horrible act, they struggle to cover it up with paranoia and guilt growing inside, threatening to swallow them whole. A compelling drama that manages to leave you with a sick feeling in your stomach as these kids become killers! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Amanda An unsettling story with extraordinary acting by this young cast. The way these actors who were probably around 15/16 portrayed such authentic mannerisms and behaviors was striking. I often get distracted by overacting in big budget movies, it's always feels so forced but Phillips does a remarkable job with this crew to extract realistic reactions in the face of chaos. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review Diana S This film is a perfect representation of this era, culturally: it's got a gorgeous shiny exterior but no substance inside. The actors were all interesting enough and talented, but they had nothing to work with and thus looked confused a lot of the time. "What's my motivation?" The director: "Well gosh, your guess is as good as mine! Just go with it!" The plot made no sense. The characters were muddled and erratic. For example, one second, two infatuated teenagers with probably (hopefully) extremely limited experience, are having an Age of Innocence-level romantic moment, and in a later scene they're fumbling around like we expect they would have to start with. My question is, why do the characters do literally everything they do? The writer/director might have answers, but they're not anywhere to be found in the film itself. Good soundtrack though.
