Published 3 weeks, 4 days ago
Description

The Plague is a raw, intense film exploring adolescent bullying at a water polo summer camp. Directed by Charlie Polinger, it follows a group of boys, including a newcomer, a leader, and an outcast, under the watch of coach Daddy Wags. The story builds tension as rumors spread and bullying escalates, despite the coachs interventions. The film, inspired by intense films like The Shining and Full Metal Jacket, offers a close study of group dynamics gone wrong. Standout performances from young actors and Joel Edgerton make it a gripping, well-acted look at the dark side of boyhood bullying.
