- Synopsis
- On the bank of a river lies the naked body of a brutally murdered young girl. At the nearby high school, Samson (Roebuck), brags to Matt (Reeves) and his friends about how he killed her. Drunk and stoned, the doubting teens trudge to the river and discover that he isn't lying. And oddly, they decide to protect Samson behind a loyal wall of secrecy. Tormented with guilt, Matt questions their silence…and suddenly finds himself in a troubling position: should he do what he thinks is right, or should he keep quiet and live with this demon for the rest of his life?
Based on the horrifying real-life murder of a young California girl, this "powerful portrait" (Newsweek) of deadly, disaffected teens stars Keanu Reeves (The Matrix), Crispin Glover (Charlie's Angels: The Movie), lone Skye Leitch (One Night Stand), Daniel Roebuck (Final Destination) and Dennis Hopper (Ed TV) in a tale that is "chilling to witness" (The New York Times).-

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The triumph of this bleak, unsettling picture is that, no matter how grim it gets, it's far too involving for you to turn away."
-
"One of the most haunting films of the 1980s, 'River's Edge' looks at a suburban, postpunk generation which has no causes, no morals, no feelings, and, worst of all, no future."
-
"An unusually downbeat and depressing youth pic."
-
"Beautifully photographed by Frederick Elmes, the visuals are often at odds with the barreness at the movie's core."
-
"It's more a success than a failure, if only because the confusions are so protean."
