Has a serial killer been
born at the local high school? In
writer/director Yiuwing Lam’s debut film, Prank, this might just be the case
as his horrific tale of bullying and revenge takes its share of dark turns as it
races to its twisted finale.
Image Entertainment has
selected June 18 as the DVD debut date.
Years of bullying reach a
climax for a high school Star Trek nerd named Connor (Nick
Renaud) when his nose is smashed and his tormentors dunk him in a urinal at
school (nasty). He has been teased and
bullied since grade school by the hulking Dax (Alastair Ferrie) and his toady
sidekick Omar (Rene Cadet) … he’s taken the bullying and the torments, but this
time they’ve gone too far.
His soul mate during these
years of classmate abuse has been his friend Jordan (Henry Monfries), smart as
a whip and the off and on again target of Dax and Omar simply because he calls
Connor his friend. The latest
escalation finds the two concocting a plan to humiliate Dax publicly; it’s the
kind of plan that nerds would come up with.
The scheme is set in
motion. Dax is kidnapped, bound in a
basement hideaway and the camera starts rolling, the two nerds will give him a
taste of his own medicine, he will be abused, humiliated and forced to
apologize for his transgressions over the years … and the video will then be
posted to the various social media outlets for his peers to marvel at. It’s a simple plan; a nerd plan.
But somewhere along the
way Dax ends up with a bullet in his head.
Omar’s death follows quickly and their bodies are dealt with. Serious stuff, but it is about this point in
time that Connor, on the verge of panic and a meltdown, begins to suspect that Jordan
has staged the entire thing for reasons of his own.
Has he been played by his
friend? No! No, it can’t be … so what’s next? Or better put, who is next?
