‘The Plague’ Review: Joel Edgerton & Cast Of Young Newcomers Turn Summer Boys Camp Into A Psychological Nightmare – Cannes Film Festival
A review of the Cannes Film Festival Un Certain Regard Entry 'The Plague" Set in summer camp for boys where cruel bullying creates big problems
Bullying and targeting are their own brand of horror, so I would call this film more of a frightening psychological drama centering on the 12 year olds aiming for acceptance and conformity at the expense of one lone outcast. Chubby and socially inept Eli ( Kenny Rasmussen) is the object of this disaffection because he has severe acne on his face and back , and also because, well, he is kinda weird, not at all like the “normal” kids including bully-in-chief, Jake ( Kayo Martin), the pathetic terrorizing ringleader of this bad behavior. Cast: Everett Blonck, Kenny Rasmussen, Kayo Martin, Joel Edgerton, Lucas Adler, Caden Burris, Elliott Heffernan, Nicolas, Rasovan, Lennox Espy, Kolton Lee
