19-year-old Jay was looking forward to going home for the summer and the promise of boys and weekends at the lake. After a seemingly in- nocuous sexual experience, she finds herself confronted with strange vi- sions and the feeling that someone, or something, is constantly pursu- ing her. Faced with this curse, Jay and her group of friends must find a solution. Far from their elders, the teenagers band together to protect themselves against threats from the outside world. Four years after The Myth of the American Sleepover, David Robert Mitchell presents a breathtaking and melancholy thriller in which he continues his exploration of ado- lescence and the end of innocence. With elegance and beautiful cin- ematography, the American direc- tor delivers a combination of horror film, teen movie and initiation story. At the crossroads of the worlds of David Lynch and John Carpenter, Mitchell manages to use the codes of the genre to show the angst of his characters. Pop and captivating!
