Seconds Apart (2011)
A group of high school boys sit around, engaging in deeply misogynistic conversation. It's no great loss then, when they all appear to kill themselves via means of Russian Roulette.
The cops, however, have to investigate such an odd event, and begin interviewing students from the school the boys attended. Among the students there are are identical twins Seth and Jonah Trimble, whom the audience knows have some connection to the deaths, as part of some mysterious "Project" they're working on.
Will the police detective - who is still reeling from a tragedy in his personal life - uncover the boys' presumably creepy secrets? Will the brother's own relationship survive Jonah's tentative flirtation with new student Eve? Well, you're going to have to watch the movie if you want to find out.
This is a decent but not exceptional "killer kids" horror film with some nicely creepy plot reveals. The plot's a bit far-fetched if you sift through it afterwards (and I'm not even talking about the supernatural parts), but as laid out on the screen it managed not to snap my suspension of disbelief.
If you're looking for a lower-key horror film to occupy an hour and a half, you could do a lot worse.
