SCORE:

NOTE:  This is a film about every parent's nightmare, a group of kids seemingly parent-less with no morals and with only one thing in mind, sex.  An explicit film about sex, drugs and parties amongst young teenagers which will get you thinking, "how old are these actors anyways?"  They look very young but to your surprise will act very well on their part as the horny teenagers.  You may be highly disturbed and grunt in disgust but honestly, an awesome film.
