Extracurricular

About This Movie

Extracurricular (2020) is a gritty blend of horror and thriller that dives into the double life of typical overachievers. It’s got a darkly comic edge—these kids, while acing exams and leading clubs, are also plotting murders with a chilling precision. The pacing keeps you on edge, as the tension builds around their seemingly perfect lives. The practical effects are understated but effective, adding a rawness to the violence that feels unsettlingly real. The performances bring a deceptive innocence to the characters, making their sinister actions all the more disturbing. It’s a different take on the high school genre, where ambition takes a deadly turn and morality is twisted into something unrecognizable.
