Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Finally, a movie that makes me think! A nonstop ride, from our children's perspective. This movie shows what goes on behind the scenes. Our kids only tell us what we want to hear. Maybe as parents we should start asking more questions, and being more involved. Very well done, highly recommended. I like the way that the film was done, very clean technique, with many different angles. Characters were well portrayed throughout the entire film length. The dialogue was realistic and very well written. A must see movie for teenagers who feel lost, and don't have anywhere to turn. All aspects of this film kept my attention, and made me feel like I was watching the scene right in front of my eyes. It made me wonder if I really knew everything that goes on with my kids.

This is by far the worst movie I have seen out of 2014. I read some great reviews but I have a feeling they might have either known people in this production or saw the wrong movie. nothing makes sense about this plot. You have your typical "tough guy", who is actually a scrawny weirdo with bleach blond hair and a severely under-developed character. The main character has absolutely no individuality at all(which is the whole plot). The ending is terrible, so if you're like me and can't start a movie without finishing it...don't bother, it doesn't get better.Spoilers:Ricky and the gang are on top of a building screaming at group of people including the police who are after them. They escape down a fire escape after giving a speech about how different they are. Why did the group of 5+ policemen all go up the stairs on the inside instead of surrounding the building or even covering the fire escape?The group of idiots goes to watch a movie and get kicked out, only to drop a firework in a popcorn machine while being escorted out of the theater. My only problem with this is that the police are immediately on their heels over this. Everyone knows who did it. The next day they're at school like nothing happened. Everyone knows that every kid involved would be pulled into the police station from school. Somehow these kids keep messing up over and over without any repercussions and that seems to be the entire movie.There's a giant underground bar/rave going on 24/7 in a shack hidden away in what looks like a bad part of downtown. Of course this underground place is called "underground" (so original). In this place kids do drugs all day and rave while drinking underage. The owner of the place says that the cops called wanting to know if the group of kids who set off the cherry bomb in the movie theater "hang around here". So the police know about this giant underground place that kids do drugs all day long and drink...that makes sense. So, why is it that the police act so surprised to discover this place after being "tipped off"? Also, to top it off, they make it appear as if Ricky is dealing drugs out of the place. He gives a wad of money to the owner of the bar/rave and the guy counts it and tells Ricky he's short. He responds that he took his friends to a movie. The guy is angry but still gives him more drugs to sell even though he's short. Also, who deals drugs in paper bags? What is even being sold? He only owed him $200 for a giant paper bag. Are they selling dirt weed out of brown paper sacks? The only drug you ever see anyone doing is coke, which I assure you isn't sold in folded up brown sacks.I could go on for hours about this terrible movie, but I won't.

I've just seen this movie and the only thing i can say is please please please those people who wrote rave reviews about the film on this page stop doing things like that. You are bringing IMDb reputation to it's knees, and whatever reason you have to write those reviews is clearly wrong. The film is simply awful!!!! you know it, i know it. The acting is bad, the situations unrealistic to say the least, the direction amateurish with a guy wearing two different tops on the same scene from one second to the next. Our main character and hero of the film spends the majority of it acting like a retard when the easiest thing would be to just go home. so there you go guys save yourselves 1 hour and 45 minutes of pain and watch "a clockwork orange" an authentic masterpiece.

Disturbing, uncomfortable, and uplifting all at the same time.There is no "protagonist" anywhere among this great young cast that features Luke Baines as the deeply dysfunctional leader of a group dubbed "The Misfits" and Myko Olivier as the Misfits' apparent "odd-man out." As the Misfits pre-Halloween rampage escalates from petty crime through the gamut of assault, battery, arson and murder Olivier's Sean Holloway provides a reluctant counterpoint of conscience to Baines' Ricky Gladstone, who grows more and more fond of the havoc as the plot unfolds. We eventually see them both as different sides of the same very tarnished coin - one "redeemable," the other irretrievably lost in the mire. In the end, we're not quite sure which is which.The lighting and camera work for this piece give the impression you are viewing a live Hieronymus Bosch painting; simultaneously fascinating, scary, beautiful, repellent, and symbolic. Whether deliberately our not, the many odd points of view, and the disjointed compelling images put one in mind of Kubrick (Clockwork Orange) and some of the disorienting images in Hitchcock's films.The production values on the film are awesome! It looks more like a 20 million dollar film than a film made for what I know it was made for.I saw this movie in a distributor screening. Here's hoping someone picks this up so that others can enjoy it too. The last time I had a similar feeling about a pre-release showing was a few years ago… the film was Gods and Monsters. I left that one thinking "too bad it doesn't have distribution and we are the only audience that will see it" too. Hope Mischief Night does just as well!
