This is a legit 90s hit for me. I had the VHS. Do I go around recommending it to people? No, absolutely not. Do I watch it every few years and botch the quotes and sing along with the soundtrack? Absolutely.

Steve Clark is a newcomer in the town of Cradle Bay, and he quickly realizes that there's something odd about his high school classmates.

When Steve's rebellious friend Gavin mysteriously joins their ranks, Steve searches for the truth with fellow misfit Rachel.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A teen horror film about enforced conformity that trades on genuine unease rather than scares, what happens in this town is creeping and weird, and the film maintains an atmosphere of ambient dread throughout. It's a paranoid thriller disguised as a high school mystery.
