Written by Posin and Zac Stanford, this severely underrated film is about the aftermath of a teen suicide — it’s a commentary on how fake suburbia has become. The Chumscrubber is a fictional video game character that becomes a shorthand for this superficial town.
Perhaps America was not ready in 2005 to be so self-critical as to take a good, hard look at itself.
The Chumscrubber did terribly at the box office, but tons of people would be truly grateful to be able to see it.
