Overview

The Chumscrubber is a dark comedy about the lives of people who live in upper-class suburbia. It all begins when Dean Stiffle finds the body of his friend, Troy. He doesn't bother telling any of the adults because he knows they won't care. Everyone in town is too self consumed to worry about anything else than themselves. And everybody is on some form of drug just to get through their days.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A caustic satire of suburban numbness and parental indifference, where a child's discovery of death barely registers in a community too medicated and self-absorbed to notice. The film moves between darkly funny and genuinely disturbing, documenting a world where everyone is slowly disappearing.
