The Curse Of Downers Grove (2015)


Another film touted as "horror" when in reality it isn't at all. Allegedly based on a true story (there is no proof to back this up) it centres around the town of Downers Grove where each year a school kid suffers a horrible death.

The town refers to it as a curse and our story centres around one high school girls esoteric musings over it.

After wounding a football player after an attempted rape she then has to put up with him exacting revenge on her friends and family.

So the main villain of this flick is said football player and his friends who are not afraid to get pretty violent. Our heroine however has other plans.

So it's not a horror, it's not as far as I can tell based on any actual events. It is a gritty teen-thriller with a few odd moments, Summed up it was OK for a Sunday afternoon drama but in the ranks of the horror genre it needs to stay way away.
