Watchlist:
The Chumscrubber is a dark comedy about the lives of people who live in upper-class suburbia. It all begins when Dean Stiffle finds the body of his friend, Troy. He doesn't bother telling any of the adults because he knows they won't care. Everyone in town is too self consumed to worry about anything else than themselves. And everybody is on some form of drug just to get through their days.
Why you might like this:
Fans of dark comedies and character-driven dramas will appreciate the sharp social satire and offbeat style of The Chumscrubber, director Arie Posin's 2005 film that blends sly humor with poignant observations on suburban malaise and the disconnected lives of its ensemble cast, led by Jamie Bell.
