An Angry Boy

I've been a fan of Andrew Fitzgerald's YouTube channel (Scary Mysteries) for close to a decade now so naturally I wanted to see this movie. I thought this movie might be good but to be honest, I didn't expect it to be as good as it was when I watched it on Tubi a couple weeks back.

The story was good, the acting was well done (especially the two boys and the villain) and some shocking intense moments that I didn't see coming, like the Eric Roberts twist.

This was one of the better horror/thriller movies I've seen in a while. How this film is rated so low on here, beats the hell out of me.

A very disturbing, entertaining and satifying ride that revolves around kiddy cults and revenge. Not going to be everybody's cup o tea!

AN ANGRY BOY tells the story of Owen, a young man who has rebuilt his life after escaping a sadistic cult as a child.

However, the scars of the past run deep, and the nightmares he thought he had outrun catch up with him in the most violent of ways.

As his former tormentors weave their way back into his new life, Owen is forced to confront the demons he thought he had left behind. With the cult's sinister intentions now targeting not only him but also those closest to him, Owen is faced with a harrowing choice: to flee, as he once did, or to stand up once and for all. This time, there's no escaping for anyone.

An Angry Boy is one of those movies that grabs you and holds on while it drags you through a story you did not know you wanted to know. And then it stays with you for days.

Being based on actual events makes you want to be more aware of your surroundings, and causes you to watch your children even more closely.

The movie was cast very well and the acting was spot on. They caught that teenaged awkwardness perfectly, and the creepiness of the bad people will make you uncomfortable at times. Even Owen's car is an attraction to be admired. I don't know where the cast found that old, perfectly-clean station wagon, but I wish I had the thing. And finally, the scenery was so strikingly beautiful throughout the movie that they probably should have given it all credits at the end.

An Angry Boy a psychological thriller. Based on true events makes this movie more eerie. The cast is perfect for this movie. Scott Callenberger, Caleb Lowery, Thomas Cambridge, Lauren McCann, Laura Frenzer, Logan Keeler, and Eric Roberts. Getting Eric Roberts in the movie was a great achievement and well worth it. I liked how the movie sets itself up for a possible sequel. It's that kind of movie that stays with you after watching it. I liked the chemistry between the characters, very authentic. What also amazed me is how the film looked. It captures an 80's era which I thought was awesome. Way to go Kevin Provost, Cinematographer. And lastly we can not forget Andrew Fitzgerald for creating this story and directing this cast in a way that makes your skin crawl. Very well done. I applaud you!

Our friends at Scary Mysteries love sharing chilling stories, and "An Angry Boy" definitely delivers as they cross over into filmmaking. This independent film punches above its weight, offering a gritty exploration of trauma, revenge, and the lingering shadows of the past.

"An Angry Boy" feels packed with potential. The film tackles complex themes like childhood abuse and cult indoctrination, but it feels like there's so much more to explore. The world-building around the cult and Owen's past is particularly intriguing. I couldn't help but think this story would be perfectly suited for a television series format.

The film feels like the tip of a terrifying iceberg. A longer format would allow for a deeper dive into Owen's psyche, the workings of the cult, and the motivations of the characters.

So, is "An Angry Boy" worth a watch? Absolutely. It's a brilliantly crafted thriller with a powerful central performance. But for those who crave a deeper dive, a television series based on this film could be pure nightmare-inducing gold.
