River's Edge
Which was worse? The murder or what came after?
A dark, morally corrosive examination of teenage apathy and complicity in the face of murder, where the real horror lies in the friends' indifference rather than the crime itself.
A group of high-school friends must come to terms with the fact that one of them, Samson, killed another, Jamie. Faced with the brutality of death, each must decide whether to turn their friend in to the police, or to help him escape the consequences of his dreadful deed.
