Guest critic Matt Walkden takes a look at the horror/thriller Don’t Grow Up.
A rag-tag group of teens escape from a youth out reach center for a night of fun and debauchery. While in town, they find that something just isn’t right. Something is ailing the adults around them with a strange madness that makes them violent toward the younger population.
French director Thierry Poiraud’s Don’t Grow Up is well shot (thanks to cinematographer Matias Boucard) with some very artsy b-roll between scenes but, the action never equals the suspense that it’s being set up for. As a result, the film ends up dragging on quite a bit. Unfortunately, as a horror/suspense film it kinda flops.
