Social Misfits

About This Movie

Social Misfits is an interesting piece from 2001, directed by Rene Villar Rios. It's a drama that captures the raw and often awkward emotions of teenage life. Set in the isolated Camp Resurrection, a group of teens is thrown together, forced to confront their differences over the span of 48 hours. The pacing feels genuine, almost like a documentary at times, letting you breathe in their conflicts and camaraderie. The performances are grounded, with a mix of tense moments and unexpected humor. What stands out is the practical effects used in the camp setting, adding a layer of realism to their struggles. It's not flashy, but the film captures that uneasy transition from adolescence to adulthood.
