Think of it as Dawson’s Creep. With a cast headed by James Van Der Beek (who shamlessly flushes his 90s teen heartthrob image down the toilet), Roger Avary’s script ditches all farcical notions glimpsed in Van Wilder and American Pie in favour of a darker, deeply upsetting depiction of the college experience. Essentially a film about emotional rejection, the twist is that the protagonists are either deluded misfits or sex-crazed sociopaths, with neither party afraid to experiment with the odd illegal substance. Not exactly light material, but with a killer soundtrack and trippy, chronologically-reversed segments, you’re in for a mind-blowingly psychedelic ride. Rock’n’roll.4/5
