Quite good drama with great potential and a very dark message. The film shows how deep can darkness sit in us and how dangerous is the period of puberty. Fine acting and great soundtrack.

Pretty obscure, a solid drama about the loss of innocence and at the same time the evocation of that darkness that is feeding a person that can be your neighbor or in this case your best friend.

A darkness that's consuming that individual and unfortunately when people try to do something it's already too late.

A surprising and significant filmmaking debut.… Expand

It manages to capture everything I want to see in a thriller/drama. The acting is fantastic, the cinematography is beautiful, the music perfectly captures every emotion in the scenes, and the story is absolutely great for it being so simple. Nothing is exaggerated, everything seems as real as possible without getting boring.… Expand

Actually not a bad film. Seeing the poster, you can expect the kids films like 'ET', 'Stand By Me', 'Goonies', et cetera kind. But it was a different. More matured kind of narration. Then the characters are still teenagers and as usual their mischievous lands them a big trouble. So the four friends set to wander around, but soon when they met with an accident, they decide to resolve it in their way. But it begins to take a twist when one of them goes berserk. Once again, they have to come up with something to end it all for good. It becomes more intense and ends with a decent finale.

The casting was so good. These boys were really great. The story does not look that fine, but the way it was made and performances puts it on the top. Looks like they are future big stars. It was from a cinematographer turned filmmaker. It's his first direction and a fine debut. I don't know the title meant exactly what the it had narrated, but convincing enough. So one of the decent thriller from the year, definitely worth a watch.

Critics sure do have a thing for barebones simple indie horror with nostalgic themes. This story is rather uneventful but the 90's nostalgia and solid acting performances keep it somewhat interesting.

New England meats noir. Picturesque with great capturing of the mood and environment. My main qualm with the film is the writing and a couple key parts of the plot that make what was otherwise a very real and natural looking film feelNew England meats noir. Picturesque with great capturing of the mood and environment. My main qualm with the film is the writing and a couple key parts of the plot that make what was otherwise a very real and natural looking film feel implausible. There wasn’t enough character development or insight to explain one of the main character’s critical cracking point. Upside of the movie is terrific acting by young talent.… Expand

Damn, forgot what it was like to be a teenager in uncontrolled environments when bad things had the potential to escalate. And the characters, one in particular, certainly captured that vibe of a personality at a crossroad. Forgot about thoseDamn, forgot what it was like to be a teenager in uncontrolled environments when bad things had the potential to escalate. And the characters, one in particular, certainly captured that vibe of a personality at a crossroad. Forgot about those kids that you’d hang out with but could make you feel uneasy -most of ‘em turn out alright :/

A good little sleeper hit (I don’t know if it’s a sleeper or not, maybe people know about it). Captured that 90s vibe fairly well too, as well as River’s Edge vibes.

Also, it’s dark.… Expand

Saw this on the recommendations of the critics but found it to be a movie that starts with promise but by it's final act has become rather disappointing.
