Stricken (1997)
Not your usual GenX thriller, "Stricken" takes some chances.

The actors turn in some fine performances in this darkly comic portrayal of some friends who take a college hazing too far. The film as a whole portrays violence as a basic (even acceptable) fall-back for a mind pushed too far or a mind too bored to care. It's almost like you side with this whacko Banyon because he's the only one who feels somewhat real or alive. (Maybe even sympathetic?) The rest of the characters - accurately written and portrayed - are almost stoner versions of Stepford youths - youths who really need to get a life if this is what they call fun...
