Xtracurricular

About This Movie

Xtracurricular is one of those quirky high school flicks that takes a sharp turn into absurdity. Brittney, played by Michelle Fairbanks, creates these over-the-top homicidal robots to win over a crush, and the whole thing spirals into a chaotic rivalry with her friend Ally. The performances are a mixed bag, but there’s a certain charm to the way the characters drive the increasingly ridiculous plot. The practical effects give it a unique feel; you can really see the DIY spirit in the robots. It’s definitely got that early 2000s vibe, making it a curious piece for anyone collecting films from that era. There’s a blend of dark humor and teen drama that isn’t all that common, which adds to its distinctiveness.

Xtracurricular remains somewhat of an oddity in the collector's circuit. It hasn't seen a widespread release, leading to a bit of a scarcity that intrigues those hunting for lesser-known titles. While it might not be on everyone’s radar, its blend of humor and absurdity captures a specific niche that some collectors find appealing. The film is often discussed in relation to other early 2000s indie projects, making it a curious item for completists.
