In this darkly humorous parody of high school life in suburbia--other teen films of this genre are DONNIE DARKO and HEATHERS--Dean (Jamie Bell) is beside himself when two of his best friends wind up dead--and nobody in the selfishly aloof world around him seems to notice, or care.

Review 1:
"[A]n engagingly mordant and clever addition to what must by now qualify as its own sub-genre."

Review 2:
"There's some sharp scripting, with strong performances from Jamie Bell, Ralph Fiennes and Carrie-Anne Moss. And Stanford and Posin have chosen themes with real cinematic mileage."

3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t is witty and subversive, with flashes of magical realism and apocalyptic CG that both provokes and unnerves."
