Rebel without a cause or a clue at an elite but uptight college discovers some of his classmates have formed an even more elite clique more or less hell-bent on ridding the school, and quite possibly American society, of what they deem to be its undesirables because of ethnicity, politics, etc. Our hero recruits a teacher and some other "less desirable" classmates to undermine the elitists, and, naturally, things get quite violent.

VIBE

Dangerously Close delivers a tense, angsty, and rebellious 80s thriller vibe. It's a propulsive, gritty experience steeped in themes of class conflict and prejudice, with a distinct B-movie aesthetic. Expect confrontational energy and a raw, visceral feel. Ideal for a nostalgic late-night solo watch or with friends.
