The Source
Four outcast teenagers acquire mystical powers that allow them to become gods on campus, with deadly consequences.
Why it matters
A grim teen power trip that twists supernatural fantasy into a cautionary tale about hubris and social outcasts.
- Early-2000s indie horror with a raw, unpolished energy that predates the teen occult boom.
- Practical effects and modest gore deliver a grounded, visceral punch amid the supernatural.
- Perfect for fans of body horror and coming-of-age dread tangled with dark fantasy.
- Not flawless — pacing drags and some performances feel uneven — but its cult vibe rewards patience.
