"A devastating tale of identity, fandom and obsession." The Guardian

Jane Schoenbrun’s striking story of suburban horrors and coming of age in the mid-1990s creates a foreboding feeling that unspools across time.

Teenager Owen is just trying to make it through life in the suburbs when his classmate introduces him to a mysterious late-night TV show — a vision of a supernatural world beneath their own. In the pale glow of the television, Owen’s view of reality begins to crack...

Schoenbrun’s latest work is a meticulously crafted film that explores the perils of our culture’s obsession with nostalgia and the ways we find and make ourselves in the things we watch.
