THE ANGER. THE DESTRUCTIVENESS. THE URGE TO KILL IN COLD BLOOD. THEY WEREN’T BORN WITH IT…
This is the moment when 1980s teen movies went rogue. Maxwell Caulfield (Grease 2) and Charlie Sheen (Wall Street) star as high-school outcasts who head to Los Angeles for an unhinged spree of crime, violence, and savage murder.
Directed by the mighty Penelope Spheeris (Wayne’s World, The Decline of Western Civilization) and written by Glen Morgan and James Wong (The X-Files, Final Destination franchise), The Boys Next Door channels Spheeris’s empathy for wayward youth into an over-the-top but nonetheless queasy and confronting descent into suburban hell.
