A man planning to commit a mass shooting at a rave is befriended by an eccentric group of partiers and finds himself conflicted about his intentions. Based on the real-life 2006 Capitol Hill Massacre in Seattle.
Acting
David Call's unnerving restraint — you see the switch flip in real-time.
Cinematography
Sweaty, strobing rave scenes that suffocate and seduce simultaneously.
Direction
Gravning's choice to humanize without excusing — morally queasy, deliberate.
Director
Jagger Gravning
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Jagger Gravning was a Seattle rave scene regular and knew victims of the actual 2006 Capitol Hill Massacre, making this a decades-in-the-making reckoning.
The film deliberately mirrors the real shooter's known interests — anime, raves, isolation — but casts an Asian woman (Okatsuka) as his unlikely connector, subverting the 'lone wolf' narrative.
