I Declare War
Rules were made to be broken.
Directed by Jason Lapeyre
Produced by Samaritan Entertainment
A darkly comedic war game between neighborhood kids that escalates from playful competition into genuine violence and betrayal, balancing childhood nostalgia with Lord of the Flies-style moral collapse.
Summer war games between the neighborhood kids turns deadly serious when jealousy and betrayal enter the mix, in this alternately hilarious and horrifying black comedy that mixes equal parts Lord of the Flies and Roald Dahl.
