The first thing I noticed was the dialogue. It was a bit annoying. It tried to portray some kids acting natural andas pals, but it was moronic and unrelatable. I got the feeling this movie was aimed at teens, and I feared the worse. One character is so vulgar that when he dies I couldn't have cared less. So I didn't get drawn in when maybe I should have. I was just glad I'd never get to here him say 'FUUUCK' again.
You know how setting things in the 80s is hip and cool? Well now we're onto the 90s. To be fair this didn't milk the setting for sheer nostagia - hmm Stranger Things! I was a teen in the 90s and this movie did capture some of that time spent, like wandering around on bikes looking for stuff to do, as well as the types of social groups and bumping into general assholes.
I didn't feel the story was very intense or dramatic considering the subject matter. I thought the acting was good.
It felt slow after a while, and I didn't feel any dark suspense or mystery to fill the void. A lot of scenes didn't have any impact. The script seemed to revolve around Zach too much, and he was pretty bland. Did he ever have anything interesting to say? Did he ever behave interesting? No. Worst of all it was so unbelievable how Josh had his personality change since the accident. He somehow turns into a ridiculous slasher guy, and we never really got to see how. Shame because the guy playing Josh was great and his character was the best at the start.

Any time a movie looks like it's trying to hit the "Fucked Up Coming of Age Movie" notes, I'm interested. _Super Dark Times_ is perhaps not the grandest example of them all, but it's still a very good one.

_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

**Secrets always find its way out!**

Actually not a bad film. Seeing the poster, you can expect the kids films like 'ET', 'Stand By Me', 'Goonies', et cetera kind. But it was a different. More matured kind of narration. Then the characters are still teenagers and as usual their mischievous lands them a big trouble. So the four friends set to wander around, but soon when they met with an accident, they decide to resolve it in their way. But it begins to take a twist when one of them goes berserk. Once again, they have to come up with something to end it all for good. It becomes more intense and ends with a decent finale.

The casting was so good. These boys were really great. The story does not look that fine, but the way it was made and performances puts it on the top. Looks like they are future big stars. It was from a cinematographer turned filmmaker. It's his first direction and a fine debut. I don't know the title meant exactly what the it had narrated, but convincing enough. So one of the decent thriller from the year, definitely worth a watch.

_7/10_
