Dead Teenagers may sound like a generic title, and it is. However, as the film progresses, this generic term begins to make more sense. Meta films have become a popular addition among the sub genres of horror. As we experience more and more horror tales, it only makes sense that we would want to see horror films about horror films.
However, some of these movies have taken things a step further and given fans a look behind the scenes. Recently, In a Violent Nature divided audiences with its in depth look at the slasher genre from the perspective of the slasher. Dead Teenagers takes things a step further by showing us what happens to horror movie characters when things don’t go according to script.
Dead Teenagers follows a group of youngsters who are attacked by a masked man while on a spring break trip. You know, classic spring break experience and all that. However, when they accidentally kill the slasher, things start to get confusing.
The film starts dropping hints as to what it’s about from the very beginning but becomes very weird very quickly. Dead Teenagers leads you to believe that it will be a Cabin in the Woods spoof only to pull the rug out from under you and show you what real insanity looks like.
Another amazing aspect of this movie is that it is part of an end of the world trilogy. Good Deed Entertainment released two other films that tie in with this meta madness. Wolves Against the World and The Exorcism of Saint Patrick manage to tie this lunacy together. If you are a fan of independent horror, Dead Teenagers is a film that cannot be missed.
