The Boys Next Door
The anger. The destructiveness. The urge to kill in cold blood. They weren't born with it...
Directed by Penelope Spheeris
Produced by Republic Entertainment International
A bleak, escalating portrait of two young men's descent into casual brutality during a road trip, examining the origins of violence rather than glorifying it.
Roy and Bo leave their small town the weekend after graduation for a short road trip to LA. Soon, they find themselves lashing out and leaving a trail of bodies behind them. The violence escalates throughout.
