River's Edge

“Which was worse? The murder or what came after?”

A girl's body lies by a river in a Northern California town, and the kids who know about it go on with their days. Layne (Crispin Glover) and Matt (Keanu Reeves) are among the friends who have seen it, and Samson (Daniel Roebuck), the boy who put it there, is not hiding it. Tim Hunter films the high school and the neighborhood in flat, ordinary light, and the dread comes from how calm everyone stays.
