This week on Fearless Films, in celebration of the start of the school year, we are talking about the late 90's teen horror flick, Disturbing Behavior.
Pete breaks down this story of a boy and his family moving to a small island town in Washington state. He quickly discovers that something isn't quite right with the popular kids at the high school. He goes on to uncover a conspiracy to "make the kids better" through nefarious means. Only him and his misfit friends can save the town (or burn it all down)!
Sarah reacts to the fact that this is basically just an extended episode of the X-Files (featuring key players from the show both in front of and behind the camera), the hilariously bad "slang" used by the teenage characters, and the outdated depictions of... well, just about everything.
She also gets concerned about Pete's blood pressure, when he begins to rant and rave about the horrors of studio interference. Prepare yourselves for a deep dive on the behind the scenes story of this film, and how test screenings and meddling producers took a great script and turned it into a mediocre Scream knockoff.
Grab a seat, open your notebooks and remember: don't get too scared!
