Super Dark Times

GRADE: 7.5

Teenagers Zach and Josh have been best friends their whole lives, but when a gruesome accident leads to a cover-up, the secret drives a wedge between them and propels them down a rabbit hole of escalating paranoia and violence.

Director: Kevin Phillips
Country: USA

THOUGHTS:

Shit gets real fast for a group of teenage boys involved in an accidental murder. The portrait of adolescence in the 90s feels very authentic and honest. The story eventually kicks into a finale that feels a little less true, but the acting, cinematography, and gloomy mood made this a compelling watch from start to finish.
