Chrissie's last week of high-school in Downers Grove, is a paranoid trip through a small Midwestern town gripped by a 'curse' that claims the life of one high school senior every year.
With only five days to graduation, Chrissie is beginning to wonder if she will be the next victim of the Curse of Downers Grove.........
Bret Easton Ellis was something of a wonder in the eighties. His novel American Psycho, is a modern masterpiece, and the film is one of the greatest movies ever made. It seemed that anything he written that was set in the eighties, was, for the lack of a better word, acceptable, even Less Than Zero.
Even The Informers...
But then he had a helping hand in last years The Canyons, one of the worst films of 2014, and now this, which is beyond bizarre.
Remember that Mark Wahlberg film made in 1996 called Fear? Well imagine that film, without any style or flamboyance, but it's set on an old ancient Indian burial ground, that supposedly releases a curse every year......
So our heroine is almost assaulted by the recognisable teen in the film, she almost pokes his eye out, and he goes nuts, or does he?
And then if it couldn't get anymore bizarre, Tom Arnold turns up as an abusive father, Supergirl from 1984 proves she's still around, and there's the always nerdy best friend who is giving her the wrong advice.......or is he?
Add a cut price Heath Ledger as the wannabe boyfriend, and you are left with a below average film, form a once great literary genius, with a twist ending that makes no sense whatsoever........
Or does it?
