Like some have written before me, I was ready for something in the vein of Lost Boys... Instead I was served an amazing coming-of-age story, a surreal depiction of how cruel kids can be - and what good they are capable of. Part memories, part imagination, add real life, myths, and a sprinkle of the paranormal - this is the recipe for a very good film.
A layered film that should have obligatory screenings at high-schools world wide. (I hope kids today get it)

It is Halloween and a bunch of mean boys are going out to have some fun. One of them is starting to out-grow the group, especially when they pick on another boy he knows from when they were kids. The bullied kid black mails his old friend to spend the evening with him.
This is a coming of age film with a heavy under lying sense of menace, the horror element is very slight indeed.
The film has a slight surreal feel about it, all the adults leave the kids to run amok across town and everyone bumps into each other in the most unlikely of places.
There is a certain inevitability about this film that could be seen as predictability but I quite liked it.
The dynamics of the gang are portrayed with great zeal and shows how strong personalities can cloud the better judgement of others.
Well filmed, produced and acted. Some of the kids look a little bit old but their acting skills make up for it.
You will see the ending coming a mile off and there isn't much meat to the story but this was a very enjoyable Netflix watch.

A random pick and a mix movie I had no knowledge of the film going in I happily went in with no expectations and walked away remarkably pleased.
Boys in the Trees is an Australian feature movie that is quite frankly genre breaking. Horror? Drama? Thriller? It's so hard to pin it down to one, though I will say the cover art will have you making incorrect assumptions.
It's a coming of age movie about a young man who is part of the "Cool kids". One day on the skate park he witnesses his best friend bullying another boy not knowing that single event would change everything.
For a fair chunk of the movie I'll be honest I thought I wasn't going to like it. I didn't like many of the characters, I couldn't get behind the protagonist and deemed the plot a bit of a jumbled mess.
Now by the end they'd turned much of that around, though the plot is still very jumbled. Thankfully it does make up for that for the most part and when the credits rolled I was hit with a wave of emotions and very thankful that I had come across this film.
It only ended moments ago but I'm left feeling it's going to stay with me for a while. It's thought provoking, powerful and not even remotely shallow alike most films these days.
With an awesome soundtrack, competent performances and some great writing I can confidently recommend Boys in the Trees to anyone seeking something that little bit different.
The Good:
Awesome soundtrack
Very good visuals
Some great writing
Powerful stuff
The Bad:
Some character flaws
Certainly won't appeal to everyone

Boys in the Trees is a coming-of-age film, despite many streaming services mislabeling it as a horror. There's only one scare in the film; however, the real horror in this film is the fear of growing up, which is executed flawlessly through the performances of the actors, the 90s/Halloween setting, and the surreal tone of the film. The only thing bringing down this film is the ending, which is not only regrettably predictable, but it also renders some of the previous scenes nonsensical. Worth watching for the excellent performances and the perfect representation of a child/teen's view of growing up.
There aren't many films from Australia I haven't liked and this is definitely one of them.
Superb acting from virtually all the cast and well filmed, so well filmed I would never have guessed it was Australia.
I figured out what it was all about quite early on but the story was still fascinatingly surreal and drew you into its mystery and the characters themselves; the angst of youth and the tribulations we all had to go through when we were young and in that way it will probably appeal more to older folks,.
Its not for everyone but if you are looking for horror or lots of action and cgi then its not for you - if you want to have your brain tweaked and your senses stretched then its one for you.

Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesThe Dia De Los Muertos sequence was filmed in two parts. Hollow, the song performed by The Weeping Woman (Wendy Rule) was filmed on the first day of filming as it was her only day of availability. The rest of the party was filmed at the end of the shoot. Both nights were full moons.
- GaffesThe school's rooftop pigeons never move and are clearly props, though the sound mixers did add in some cooing.
