Super Dark Times / Directed by Kevin Phillips
For two teenage boys, the mundane world of bike rides and video games is interrupted when an accident results in the death of a classmate. When a second classmate turns up dead, it becomes clear that their secret won't stay hidden.
If you took the average news headline about #NonPresidential Trump and turned it into a motion picture, we’d call it SUPER DARK TIMES; apropos right? As it so happens we just caught a film on Netflix with exactly that same title and let us tell you, the setting may be different but the vibes are equally terrifying! The somewhat mystifying third act aside, Super Dark Times is full of rich details, beats and character moments; courtesy of the very confident hand of first-time helmer, Kevin Phillips.
