Another day, another disappointment. Content warning: goreTeenaged conspiracy theorist Davey (Graham Verchere) becomes convinced that his neighbor, Mr. Mackey (Rich Sommer), is the Cape May Slasher, a serial killer targeting young boys. He talks his three best friends into helping him investigate (AKA spy) on Mackey, and the more they uncover, the worse it looks.
The last 15 minutes of this are pretty good but the hour and a half preceding are a total snooze. It's like bad B-roll of Stranger Things without the D&D. I guess if you are or were a teenaged white boy who grew up in the suburbs it might be more meaningful. I don't know. I didn't find it funny or endearing and I thought all four boys were annoying. Sommer gives a great performance, however, and Riverdale fans will recognize Hot Inappropriately Aged Neighbor Girl as Polly Cooper.
It's streaming on Shudder if you're more into suspense over blood.
