Sean says:
Let's get these teen hearts beating faster, faster... Twisted mystery/drama reminiscent of David Lynch's Blue Velvet (released the same year and also starring Dennis Hopper), River's Edge takes you through the nine circles of teen hell. Killer soundtrack (Slayer, The Wipers, Agent Orange etc.) and Keanu Reeves wearing a denim vest over a leather jacket over a tie dye t-shirt.
