A loner (Dane DeHaan) escapes his abusive home life and discovers a mysterious crater that gives him and two fellow high school students psychokinetic powers in this found-footage-style superhero film from director Josh Trank and screenwriter Max Landis. DeHaan plays Andrew, a angsty teen whose mother is dying and whose father takes out his violent frustrations out on the boy. As a result, Andrew starts filming everything around him, including the dreadful night that he, his cousin Matt (Alex Russell) and the soon-to-be senior class president, Steve (Michael B. Jordan), wake up with superpowers after exploring a condemned piece of land housing an unexplained power source. The three bond over their newfound abilities, with Andrew clearly leading the pack in terms of control and strength. Despite their noble intentions, a darker streak appears in one of them as the other two try to take control over a situation that soon spirals into homicidal madness -- all of which is captured on camera. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

Balden (J. August Richards) was a successful businessman whose adoring father always preferred him over family black sheep Rick (Sharif Atkins). Things for Travis went unexpectedly bad, however, when the pressures at work become too much to bear, a suspicious stock sale prompted a serious investigation, and his wife walked out on him for neglecting their marriage. As a result, Travis ended his own life in a shocking act of violence. In the wake of Travis' death, his brother Rick returns to town to check in on grieving sister Nina. When their father catches wind of Rick's visit, he makes it plain to his son that the wrong boy was buried. Infuriated that his father always favored Travis, Rick sets out to prove that his sibling wasn't the angel that everyone credited him with being. But in the course of Rick's dangerous investigation he realizes that his brother's death was much more complicated than anyone realized, and that perhaps it wasn't his father's eyes that needed to be opened, but his own instead. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
