About This Movie

Dead at 17 has this unsettling vibe throughout, which really pulls you in. It tackles heavy themes like grief and the dark side of teenage life without getting overly melodramatic. The pacing is a bit slow at times, but it builds tension effectively, letting you stew in the mystery of Jason's death. Performances by the leads, particularly the mother, are quite compelling. Douglas Jackson captures a raw emotional tone, and there are some decent practical effects that ground the more intense moments. It's not your usual teen thriller; it feels a bit off-kilter and that keeps it interesting.

Released on DVD, 2008.Filmed in Vancouver, Canada.Runtime: 90 minutes.Features practical effects over CGI.
