The Plague

CriticsCritics: 74
AudienceAudience: 6.4

At a summer water polo camp, a socially awkward tween struggles to fit in as a cruel group game targets an isolated camper. As bullying spreads and anxiety intensifies, he must navigate social pressure, fear, and the consequences of standing apart from the crowd.

My take

You may enjoy this unsettling, slow-burn coming-of-age thriller if you appreciate Lord of the Flies-style group dynamics and stories about adolescent anxiety; Not for you if you want fast action or conventional horror.
