THE DIRTIES [2013]

The Dirties is Canadian writer/director Matt Johnson's debut about a couple of highschool students making a film about extracting deadly revenge on the students who torment them.  One is doing it for comedic venting while the other is constructing a blueprint for the real deal.
It starts out quite amusing but as it unfolds we realize we're slowly falling down a dark and disturbing hallway that seems to impossible to turn back from.  It's wicked sense of humor is what makes the film stand out from all the other films that attempt to touch base with similar subject matter.
It's sounds risky to approach the material in such a style but when all is said and done I found it makes an impact with stark realism that is far more effective than anything before it.

4 end title sequences I could watch again and again out of 5
